Can anyone enlighten on the definition of "mixed sex game"?
- deemed by some authority to be suitable for mixed-sex teams?
- requiring people of both sexes in order to conduct a game?
- having official championships using mixed-sex teams?
- something else?
- I suppose it means that there are no rules or customs regarding sex, therefore it is unlikely that a team happens to be of just one sex. --Patrick 20:49, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- The second answer is correct. It is one of the rules that a korfball teams consists of both men and women. -- Jitse Niesen 20:51, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

- (Some sites seem to suggest that the progress of korfball was hindered by sexism, but I could not find evidence for that. Even in the Netherlands korfball is considered by some to be a game for nerds and wusses and the sport is not very popular. Such a reputation would seem to be a much more likely explanation for a slow growth.--branko)
- (In the Netherlands Korfbal is in the top-5 of team-sports, and the Korfbal Union KNKV has 98.000 members. So it is popular! Also, Korfbal is played in over 50 countries. - Theo)
It is played in 42 countries..
