KV Drachten / Van der Wiel

KV Drachten/Van der Wiel is a Dutch korfball club from Drachten in the municipality of Smallingerland. The club colors of the uniform are a green shirt with black trousers/skirt.
On August 13, 1946, 'Folgeren Foarút' was founded by a group of fifteen enthusiasts. Initially, only residents of the hamlet De Folgeren were allowed to become members. When a shortage of members threatened in the 1950s, 'imports' from Drachten were also allowed. After De Folgeren became part of Drachten, the association continued under the name Door Sport Vereend. At the request of the korfball federation, DSV was renamed Korfbalvereniging Drachten in 1959. Today, Drachten/Van der Wiel has almost 400 members. Thus, the Drachten korfball club is one of the larger ones in Northern Netherlands.
