Kinea (Korfbal Is Useful And Pleasing) is a korfball club in the Frisian village of De Knijpe. The clubhouse Noppes dates back to 1972.

In the start time there was played on an ice skating rink. Then played on the high meadow behind the ice rink. There was only one field available that was actually too small. The fact that the site was so high had great benefits. In the event of abundant rainfall, the site remained well-playable.

The shirt was white in the early years. Only later was the black shirt with a yellow bell chosen. In the 80's a yellow shirt with a black bee was chosen. In the early years Kinea played in a joint competition of clubs not yet affiliated with the union. In 1926, they joined the Frisian Korfbalbond (KFB). In 1931 the transition to the KNKV followed.
