The US Korfball Federation (USKF) is the governing body for korfball in the United States and is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Our mission is to advance the sport of korfball in the United States by providing comprehensive support and resources to both new and existing clubs and/or entities. Our mission is to foster the growth and development of korfball at all levels and abilities, creating a thriving community of enthusiasts across the nation.

The USKF is also making steady progress toward establishing the first organized wheelchair korfball program in the world. We welcome collaboration with venues and partners that are committed to accessibility and inclusion, and we are actively seeking future host locations to support wheelchair korfball events.
