Once again the korfball teams of of Rodenburg, Sparta and OWK will join forces this year and organise the Junior World Cup. After the two previous editions the work to do and the potential pitfalls are well known, yet the job still has to be done. So this year once again all will jump in to help and make it happen. Members, parents and former members of the korfball clubs will be asked to support as part of different committees with all sorts of work ot be done. From translation services to being a host family and taking care of tickets and security.
About once a month we want to keep all volunteers informed through the club websites of all matters regarding the organisation of the Junior World Cup 2012 that will take place from Thursday 5 April until Sunday 8 April in the Topsporthall in Leek.

Update:
The following committees have been setup: Communications (WC), Participants (WD), Finance (WF), Side Events (WE), Volunteers (WV), Competion issues (WW). Each committee has 2 – 6 members.

• A number of plans and task lists have been put together and the budget for JWC2012 has been set.
• WW; Five countries have already confirmed participation: Belgium, England, Germany, The Netherlands and Poland
• WW, NEW; Next to the three daily battles between the international juniors in the JWC2012 tournament, this year on the final day the TOP juniors of the North will compete against eachother.
• WV; With a clear, new task list for the volunteers the other committees can pass on their requirements so during the tournament the Volunteer Committee can arrange for the right number of volunteers for all the different tasks.
• WS; The sponsor committee is already very busy. The first head sponsor is confirmed: UNIVE. UNIVE will beo ne of the head sponsors just like the previous years. The other sponsor opportunities are still available, so if you, or your company are interested in a suitable sponsor opportunity….

• WE; Side events is responsible for creating additional fun during the tournament. They will meet very soon for the first time. We are sure this will lead to many suprising ideas.
