<div>
Please note that, UNFORTUNATELY, the sports hall in Écublens is closed during the school holidays, therefore it is inaccessible for us to use it for tonight's training session.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next training session will be on the <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>27th of October of 2015</b></span>.</div>

Promoting Korfball in Lausanne is turning out to be a wonderful experience, and we enjoyed explaining the sport to many families today. Hundreds of Swiss people visited us, and learned about Korfball and had the chance to play it!!</span></h3>

Korfball will be featured as part of the programme of the <a href="http://www.generationgames.com/" target="_blank">Generation Games</a> from 11-15 October in Lausanne, the Olympic capital. The Games are organized in collaboration with the International Olympic Committee and the city of Lausanne to engage Lausanne citizens in a healthy lifestyle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Besides the activities that we will organize, open to all children and parents, we will use the opportunity to make KORFBALL known to the citizens of Lausanne, and will try to generate more interest in the sport and especially to gain adepts. We will inform of the current initiative to start Korfball in Switzerland, and hopefully we will engage more participants to come to our training sessions (see KC LAUSANNE Info page).</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There will also be three "exhibition" Korfball matches (demos), on Sunday 11th, with the participation of some of the world's best Korfball players coming all the way from the Netherlands.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The activities </span>for participants will be very simple, just requesting to use the basic Korfball skills: only one team, passing the ball amongst its members, and moving quickly without it, no dribbling, no running with the ball, with the objective to score as many goals as possible in 4 minutes in the two korfs that will be on the pitch, one adult size and the other children size (Kangaroo korf). </div>

After a few weeks of practice in the shores of the Léman Lake, a handful of Korfball enthusiasts decided to make this first important step for the future of the sport in Switzerland.</span><br />

With only four members participating in the first meeting of the Club, it was enough to approve the Statutes, unanimously. Also, the roles of President and Secretary were decided, and so ... KC LAUSANNE was born!!</div>

During the past month of July, we were very pleased to organize some korfball activities for the children attending the Champittet Summer Camp. There were boys and girls from all around the world - Turkey, Italy, Jordan, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, Greece and many other countries! The summer camp took place during the whole month of July; some children stayed there for only one week, while others came for two or three weeks or even one month. They were all between 11 and 16 years old, which we thought were good ages to work with. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We managed to organize a one-hour korfball practice session per week, during the first three weeks of the camp, so a total of three korfball introduction sessions. We did the activities outdoors since the weather was very nice. When we arrived, we were surprised to hear that nobody knew what korfball was and they had never heard about it, not even the supervisors. Therefore, we started with a 15-minute introduction to the sport, explaining a bit about the origins and the rules of korfball and about the particularities of this mixed gender team sport. All the children seemed very interested and curious about korfball and asked many questions related to this new sport.</div>

After that, we just gave the children six balls and allowed them to shoot freely from wherever they wanted, just to get them used to the sport. Then we began with some simple shooting exercises to get them all started. Since it was a group of around 16 children, very suitable for the type of activities we wanted to set up and for the matches at the end of the session, we divided them into two groups of eight, trying to have four boys and four girls in each group. We did a shooting practice game as a competition to motivate them even more to score. It was a bit of a mess at the beginning, because one person had to stay under the korf to take the rebound and pass it to the next, and the person who had shot had to stay to pick up the next rebound, so it was a bit confusing for them at first. But as they say, practice makes perfect, so after having done this exercise a few times they got better at it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
After this little game we realized we were running out of time, so we proceeded with the matches at the end of the session. We divided the 16 children into four teams of four, trying to have two boys and two girls in each team, although this was difficult to achieve. While two teams were playing a match, the other two stayed on the other side of the court playing a game we really like, which is very helpful for children to learn the korfball rules: Two players start passing the ball between each other within a limited space, of course without running with the ball in their hands and without bouncing the ball. The rest of the players have to run around and escape from the two people with the ball, whose objective is to catch one of the running players and touch him/her with the ball (without throwing the ball at them). The "caught" players then have to join the "passing" players, so each time there are more and more players trying to catch the rest. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes we did another game, called "the 10 passes". It starts with two teams, and the players in one team start passing the ball between each other (applying the korfball rules) until they manage to do 10 passes. The players in the opposite team have to try and intercept and steal the ball from the rival team and do the 10 passes themselves. Each 10 passes within a team count as one point, and the game continues so on.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other two sessions were pretty much the same, because every week there were new children who had not been there the past sessions, and so we had to explain what korfball was all over again, trying to make the children who had experienced the past practices explain the rules themselves. Sometimes it was really hard to interact with the children because the activities took place in the evening during their free time and they were often tired and not willing to do anything so they started talking to each other. It was difficult to talk to them when they were not paying attention or making a lot of noise, but we could not be too strict with them because, after all, it was a summer camp where the children came to have fun, not a school lesson. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If we had spare time at the end, we played one of our favourite games, CAOS, which the children really enjoyed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had lots of fun organizing these korfball activities in the Champittet Summer Camp. Not only did the children travel back to their home countries with fresh knowledge about this brand new sport to them, but also the local supervisors discovered korfball, which might be very useful in the future!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our next goal is to organize some korfball regular practice sessions at a local institution. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
See you soon!</div>

<br />
On Saturday the 9th of May of 2015, we managed to organise a korfball introduction session at Collège Champittet, in Pully. Since it was the "Open Doors" day, many people including students, teachers and lots of parents came to visit the school.<br />

Our goal was to fit a korfball introduction session in the schedule of the day, to install all the necessary materials in the playground of the school (the weather was super nice) and to encourage the visitors to come and try korfball with us !<br />
Even though Arnau and Marta only stayed in the morning, from around 9h30 to 12h45, the activity was very successful.<br />

First of all, we carried the korf (basket) and six balls up to the playground and we placed everything to get ready. People started to arrive at 10h00, but most people came to play korfball at around 11h00. At the beginning nobody seemed to come, but after a while, a group of five girls from the school and two little boys came to play korfball, and they seemed to like it ! </div>

Since they had never played this sport, we had to explain the rules and show them how to throw the ball, but we were soon ready to start a match. Arnau and Marta played as well, and the match was very fun ! After that, we played a game we call CAOS, in which we lined up in a queue and the two first people had one ball each. Then they started shooting the ball and, if the second person scored first, then the first player was eliminated and passed the ball to the next. The game continued like that successfully, until only two people were left for the final. We played twice because they all seemed to enjoy the game, and they were very good at it !<br />

We had a great time at Champittet, even though we ended up exhausted because it was very sunny and we had played quite a lot. We really enjoyed playing korfball, and especially showing it to other students, teachers and parents ! Our next goal is to organise korfball activities in the Champittet Summer Camp this year !</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Secondly, we talked about our objectives regarding this sport and then we did a
few warm up exercises and shooting practice activities to prepare the children for the final match. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">For instance, two queues were created in front of the korf, and both Arnau and Marta started from under the korf. As the exercise began, the first member of each queue on each side of the court had to run towards the exterior, towards the outer boundary lines. Then, each coach passed the ball to the person that had moved, and the latter had to throw the ball and try to score a goal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Once thrown, the two people under the korf had to take the rebound, trying to catch the ball before it bounced on the floor, and pass the ball to the two that had just thrown it, who would then run towards the korf and stay there for the next round.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, both Arnau and Marta had a great time organising this event and taking part in it.
It was a pleasure to see that the children were having fun and enjoying this new
game. Not only did the students play korfball, but also their sports teacher
tried to shoot a couple of times.</span></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> It is important for us to show
teachers how to play as well, in order to assure future sustainability of the
sport if we ever move from Switzerland. Both Arnau and Marta improved their coaching,
communication and creative thinking skills, and were able to develop self-confidence,
patience and taking initiative. The children also had a great time, learned the
rules of a completely new sport to them and were physically active, which in turn improved their health ! </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Both coaches were very satisfied and felt very responsible throughout the session because they acted as teachers and had to make sure the children behaved appropriately and understood the basic rules. Undertaking new challenges and developing skills is always very fun and engaging !</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A group of 25 Nestlé employees practiced korfball for the first time, after receiving some basic explanations from Marta and Arnau Albà. The activity was very simple: in groups of 8 or 9, they would come to the korfball "pitch", receive some 5 minute instructions, do 5 minutes of shooting practice as a warm up supervised by Arnau and Marta, and then...., straight to play a short 15-20 minute match !</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The sport generated interest, because it was completely new to everybody, and we could certainly see two types of future opportunities:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- 1st step for the creation of the NBS team: some of the participants enjoyed the sport and requested to participate in future activities when we organise them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
- We made some contacts which will maybe open a door for more korfball possibilities in a local school: one of the participants will suggest this activity to his childrens' school, and Marta will try to organise some sort of presentation there.</span><br />
