Korfball drill: a team like a train
Suitable for the following techniques: warming-up passing
A team like a train
- The trainers have the children warm up in a fixed pattern (round or square).
- The children run behind each other with some distance between them.
- The child in front receives the ball from the trainer.
Variant 1
- While running, the ball is passed to the next person in line by means of a throw (short pass), the receiver passes the ball to the next person in line.
- The person in the back passes the ball back to the last thrower and the ball travels the whole route in reverse order.
- Emphasise technique where necessary and ask which form of passing is most effective.
Variation 2
- Similar to variation 1, but now the ball is passed backwards without looking (i.e. by feel).
- The emphasis now is on catching and uncatching the ball.
- The last player in line to receive the ball sprints with it to the front to start a new round.
- So there is always someone else in front.
Extension
: To make it a bit more difficult, you can appoint 1 or 2 defenders who make it more difficult to throw and try to intercept.
