Re: Netball in Basel?

In Switzerland, netball is called KORBBALL.

Try www.korbball.ch wich is the page of the swiss korbball association.
As far as i've seen, korbball is just played in small villages like neuendorf (close to zurich) or nunnigen (near basel).

But it looks like it's not a popular sport in switzerland (sorry)

Re: Netball in Basel?

So, when Netball is played in N-Villages, Fieldhockey must be played in F-Villages and Swimming is in S-Villages? Sounds strange, don't you think?

Re: Netball in Basel?

I am playing Korbball (in Basel!), however it is much more like Basketball than netball....... I thought that since there are a lot of expats from England, maybe somewhere people play real English netball.

Re: Netball in Basel?

there seems to be a school in the french part (st. George's I think, so prob an english school) where the mums have a team - but not sure whether it's proper netball. So, maybe if there's a British school in Basel they may have a team??? I tried Korbball too - it's a bit too much like basketball for my liking, but better than nothing I suppose although it seems to be only in small towns outside the city - so if you know of any actually in ZH can you let me know. Thanks!

Re: Netball in Basel?

I don't know about playing basketball, only korball.

I found it using the following link - you should be able to look up the places they play basketball

http://www.basel.ch/en/living_in_bas...instream_sport

At the bottom of the page is a link to a database to find out where to play Online database for possible sports (Sportamt Basel-Stadt)

Re: Netball in Basel?

sounds like a good option where do you play and when ... I know nothing of the city yet ... not even where we'll live but may go mad without a run around some time but i may be a bit old for that touch rugby stuff !
Thanks for the response

Re: Netball in Basel?

I have just moved to Zurich and I'm looking to join either a netball or korfball team. Is there now a netball team running in Zurich, or any near by town? I'm happy to travel! If not, is anyone interesting in starting on, it seems there are lots of people on this thread who are interested.

I also play korfball, is this called korbball in switzerland. this korbball site is down at the minute, so does anyone have any info about this sport?

Ruth
