British Universities & Colleges Sports (BUCS) Korfball Championship

With the numbers of students playing Korfball at universities and colleges at an all time high, the British Universities & Colleges Sports (BUCS) championship have expanded this season to allow more teams the chance to take part.

The competition starts with preliminary rounds in November, which are then followed by a set of regional rounds in January. Teams are then ranked based on their performance at the regionals and qualify through to either the National Championship, National Trophy or National Plate which all take place during March.

The National Championship finals will take place over 2-3 March at Sportspark on the campus of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, Norfolk.
