Korfball drill: practise long lines

Make two pairs.

• Start both at the front of the basket.
• Player A throws to player B and immediately runs a long line.
• Player B passes to the long line and goes to catch.
• Player A shoots, Player B catches.

Things to coach for:

• Make sure players are deflecting the long line toward the basket.
• Coach on throwing the long ball, make sure it is tight and arrives well.
• Try to shoot quickly so that your opponent is not right in front of you.

You can alternate this exercise by

• Don't let Player B catch the ball, but cut in for support.
• Let player A catch the ball first, throw it back immediately and then run the long line.
• Have Player B catch and then pull away for a short chance under the basket.
