MKX: the Future
Thanks to a sizeable grant of the National Hockey Foundation and the support of the Milton Keynes Community Foundation, youth korfball in MK is set to take huge steps forward.
Starting in April 2010 we will be delivering a 3 year programme through MKX to train teachers and voulnteers in schools to be able to deliver korfball in the curriculum and at after school clubs.
We are currently working on a new Vision for youth korfball in MK and a Blueprint (what youth korfball will look like in 3 years) and we will then outline the steps to get us there. We will publish these shortly but initial thoughts will see korfball on the curriculum of most secondary and primary schools, that this will support and enthuse young people to join a number of after and out of school clubs, that coaching standards will rise considerably and our teams compete in a local youth league and perform well at national level.
Korfball is a great sport. It will only go forward if we invest in young people, give them opportunities to compete and most importantly to have fun in a safe and developmental environment. This is what we will be doing with MKX.
If you want to be part of MKX as a player, a parent-helper, a coach or a volunteer - please do get in touch.
Best wishes DARREN Chair of MK City Director of MKX
