Milton Keynes School Korfball League

I am delighted to announce the new Milton Keynes Schools Korfball League (MKSKL) to be staged at Bletchley Leisure Centre.

The league will run as a grand prix series from October to April 2012.  School teams for each Key Stage Group will have the opportunity to enter mini tournaments once every four weeks at Bletchley Leisure Centre.  Teams do not have to enter every round but the more you enter the more points your school will gain, and there are prizes.  See below. 

The mini tournaments take place every Friday at Bletchley Leisure Centre 4-6pm.

For Key Stage 2 we will be running two separate series of matches, so a school either enters for Series A or Series B but not both.  Schools can enter more than one team in any of the tournaments i.e. Emerson Valley could have two teams in either Series A or Series B or one in each series and indeed Oakgrove could enter 2 teams in the KS3 Series.

Pre-Christmas Dates (All Fridays)

All matches will be played indoors between 4-6pm. 

Dates for January to April will follow.

Refereeing

We will supply the referees.  A team manager (adult) will need to be present to supervise the team.

Entries

Up to six teams can enter on any one date.  We are booking on a first come first entered basis. 

Teams must enter at least 7 days in advance. 

There must be a minimum of 3 teams per event. 

The length of the matches and the format will be determined by the number of entries but will be a round robin.

Teams must have a minimum of 4 boys and 4 girls on court but a squad of any size may attend.

Points Scoring

1. The winner of each tournament wins 10 points.
2. The 2^nd place in each tournament wins 7 points
3. The 3^rd place in each tournament wins 5 points
4. The 4^th place in each tournament wins 3 points
5. The 5^th place in each tournament wins 2 points
6. The 6^th place in each tournament wins 1 point

At the end of the season the team with the most points is declared the winner.

The Prizes

The winner of the each Key Stage (there will be a playoff between the two KS2 leaders from Series A and Series B) will win:

• A trophy – to be presented by the Mayor at a major event in the summer 2012
• A set of winners medals
• A korfball post
• 2 korfballs
• A set of 10 korfball shirts designed to school specifications

The prizes are worth over £600 to each winner. 

Entry Fees

The cost to enter will be £2 per child per round and we will ask the schools to collect this money and pay it on the tournament day.  If you have signed up for a tournament and do not show up we will have to invoice you for £20.
