Functions and Roles

Like in many other sports, there are two functions in Korfball: Attack and Defense.
The attack position has its own subdivision; players can function as the assister, rebounder or attacker. As a defender the player can defend either the main attacker, the rebounder or the assisting player of the opposition. In (the highest levels of) Korfball, the final positions can circulate by the top players of the team. These players can do all of these functions and rotate between them. The way the player designs his function depends on his character and temper (and might be describe as different Action Types). This depends on the preferences of the player.
Here I would like to introduce the different "roles".

Attack
In the attack the player can choose to act as (depending on his preference) a Tiger, a Panther, a Bear or a Wolf. In the animal world, all these animals are know as killers. They are the winners in their own biotope. Of course these biotopes come with their own characteristics, conditions and preferences, which is a consequence of the players physiological, anatomical and mental qualities (like for instance length, speed, flexibility, concentration, confidence and team spirit). You can read the charachter and preferences of the player from his performance.

Defence
In the defense we can distinguish the roles of the Guard, the Hunter, the Center and Guerrilla. These names have a relation to the names of warriors and also illustrate the special physical and mental skills of these defense players.

任務及角色

合球運動如同其他運動一樣有二個主要的任務：進攻以及防守。進攻時，球員可扮演主攻者、助攻者以及籃板者。
防守時，球員可扮演防守主攻者、助攻者及籃板者的防守球員。在頂級合球運動裡有一個非常重要的原則：在球隊裡的每一位頂級球員要能做好每個角色並且能夠從一個角色轉變成另一個角色。
設計球員的在球隊中的角色是必須配合球員本身的特質以及特徵。(或許你可以將之描述為功能類型)。也會依據球員的優點而發展出來。
在進攻方面我們會考慮：球員的優點是扮演老虎、扮演豹、扮演熊或是狼。這些動物都是殺手、是贏家但是他們有自己的活動區域並且在此活動區域，他們需要有自己的優點。
球員的優點與生理、身體結構以及心理的素特質有關，像是高度、速度、彈性、專注力、自信心、及團隊合作精神等等。球員的優點可由他們的表現來得知。

在防守方面我們用來辨識的角色為：守護神、狩獵者、禁衛兵以及游擊兵。我們找出與戰士有關的名稱。我們也想要透過這些名字來闡明防守球員的特別的生理以及心理能力。
