Dundee Day v11 (May 12th 2024 – save the date)

Posted on by

DKC’s annual Summer tournament will be held on Sunday, May 12th, 2024* at the D.I.S.C. Leisure Centre in Dundee.

This will be v11.0 of Dundee Day and, as usual, it will be a one day event, open to teams from anywhere… teams from existing clubs, cobbled together teams of friends, and maybe even a few cobbled together teams of people who’ve never played together before too. As long as people show enough interest, there will be separate sections for adults, juniors (U16) and kids (U12, monokorf).

What a beautiful trophy!

Anyone who’s interested in either entering a team, or just coming along and playing for a scratch team, should get in touch with the club by email (korfballdundee@gmail.com) or check out our Facebook event for more details.

Similarly, anyone who is willing to help us run the event (we will need lots of helpers) should make themselves known as soon as possible. You don’t even need to like korfball to be a good helper – a band of volunteers to staff the day-long BBQ and blow the full-time horn would be particularly useful. 😉

* As in previous years, Dundee Day is being scheduled for “the day after” St. Andrews’ magnificent beach tournament, so we are hoping that quite a few of the beach teams (one beach team = 2 boys + 2 girls) will hang around and pair up to form full teams (4 boys + 4 girls) on Dundee Day. You should contact Saints directly (korfball@st-andrews.ac.uk) if you want to enter the Beach Tournament on the Saturday.

This year’s end-of-season awards party will once again be combined with the club’s AGM, and will take place from 7pm on Saturday, May 10th, in the lounge bar of the Star and Garter on Union Street.

The agenda for the end of season awards is a closely guarded secret. But I have my suspicions that Dundee 2 might get the better of Dundee 1. 🙂

Top tips for team player of the year are ****** *******, **** *********** and ****** *******. Best newcomer, ********** *******? And Most improved player? Dedication on and off the court? Tallest and smallest male/female players? Most average player? Who knows!

Coaches for the club

New Coaches for the club?

Last week-end several members of the club attended a coaching course in Glasgow. Michael, Paul, Caroline Chris and Erwin all went to Glasgow for a full day of instructions and practices. Joined by several others from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Oban there was a right mix in experience and years played, one was so brave to attend even that she had never played before, well done.
The course was organised by our own coach Nigel with Mary, and they had Graham Box over to lead the course. I think that I can speak for all that the course was very well organised and enjoyed by all. The day started at 10:00, a break in the middle for some food and ended at 17:00. I have to say I can feel my muscles today (Monday 2-12) and I am glad the training is not until Thursday. All that attended have to lead a session to show that we have been listening and have taken on board all the material covered during the day before we can call ourselves qualified level 1 coaches, but I think that we are all up for that.
So, what does that mean for the training sessions? I think this means that we can look forward to different coaches taking sessions, with different approaches and styles with different techniques getting the focus. Exciting times.

So, bring along your friends that have been telling you all along that they should start doing some exercise. Dundee korfball is getting better and better.
