We are UEA Tigers Korfball! We welcome players of all abilities and support people looking for a social way to keep fit as well as those looking to compete at the top level. Korfball is a unique mixed-gendered sport, with teams consisting of four male and four female players. The objective is to score the ball through the baskets at either end of the court, with attack and defence rotating throughout the game.
We have four teams in the local Norfolk Korfball League, so we can offer game time to everyone looking for it. We also have three BUCS teams that compete around the country against other universities, winning National Championships 7 times!
We also love to enjoy ourselves off the court, with great socials throughout the year and plenty of opportunities to get to know your fellow club members. We also attend tournaments around the UK and in Europe!
We pride ourselves on being a friendly and welcoming club, so come along to any of our training sessions and give Korfball a go! If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message on social media or send us an email (see below).

The Real Cost of Sport
The 'Real Cost of Sport' initiative, a project reviewed and rebranded by the Students' Union in partnership with uea+sport, aims to provide prospective members with a comprehensive overview of the potential costs of joining their chosen sports club. This year, I have worked closely with the clubs to ensure these tables are as accurate and up-to-date as possible.
This guide is intended to serve as a general reference. The compulsory cost includes the uea+sport membership fee of £55, which is a one-time payment that covers membership across all clubs.
When considering additional expenses, it is important to note that some clubs may not have any extra costs, while others might incur additional fees. These costs often depend on the level of competitiveness within the sport; recreational or social participation is generally less expensive. Additionally, some equipment, such as shoes or gum shields, may be used across multiple sports, potentially reducing overall expenses.
For any specific questions or further information about a particular club, please contact the club directly or contact us at union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk for more details about the project.
All the best,
Olivia Hunt
Your Activities & Opportunities Officer 24/25
