What is korfball? You can learn at this new city event

Rec Fest Cincinnati is set to introduce niche sports across the city, with korfball among the featured activities. The Cincinnati Regional Sports Commission, backing the event, says it could also help Cincinnati land niche world championships. Organizer Kyle Reiser, who leads Queen City Korfball, said 15 other niche sports teams are collaborating to run the fair at Downtown’s Sawyer Point park on Sept. 27, from noon to 6 p.m. Each sport will have its own area where visitors can learn and sign up for local teams, including Cincinnati Ultimate, Cincinnati Gladiators Handball Club and Skate Downtown Cincinnati. Attendance is free, but a waiver is required online. The event will showcase 16 sports plus food trucks and music.
