About Us

Vakgericht

S.K.V. Vakgericht was founded on February 7 1990 by a group of
enthusiastic korfball players at the University of Twente. Vakgericht
currently has about 55 members that study either at the University of
Twente or Saxion University of Applied Sciences. Being a member of
Vakgericht is not only about sports, fun is also very important. That’s
why we often stay after practice to talk and have a drink with each
other.

Ha bier!

Sportiviteit

At Vakgericht you can become either a competition member or a casual member. As a competition member you practice one or two times a week and play a match in the weekend. Currently we have one competition team. If you want to join the selection, please send an email to the competition secretary. Would you like to play matches but are you not available on the weekends? Then you can play in our midweek (middle of the week) team. For this, you can contact our midweek coordinator. Besides this you can also just be a casual member meaning you can practice two times a week without playing matches on the weekend. If you want, you could still play a midweek match every now and then. Therefore, you could also keep playing matches with your hometown team and practice here in Enschede. Trainings are provided by a group of enthousiastic (former) members. For the current placements of our teams, you can have a look here.

Gezelligheid

Just like sports, fun is also an important part of Vakgericht. Our activity committee organizes both small and big activities all year long. Some of those are the New Year’s dinner, our monthly drinks and the association weekend during Pentecost (pinksteren). Vakgericht also joins other student association’s korfball tournaments, of which every student korfball association organizes one. These are a combination of partying and playing korfball. The tournament organized by Vakgericht takes place in the first weekend of July. The tournament is obviously played with the aim to win, but having fun is most important.
