Esther Cordus grew up in Westerwatering. She has been in the KZ squad for fifteen years and played for TeamNL for nine years.
The story of this place began seventeen years ago. Jeroen Briefjes, a member of KZ, missed having a place in the neighbourhood to play korfball outdoors at the time. At his request, a small korfball court was built. That court had since become quite outdated, but it formed the basis for the idea of building the first urban korfball court in the Netherlands here.
At the opening, players from the KZ squad gave a clinic to children from the neighbourhood.
