Korfball drill: practise long lines
Suitable for the following techniques: general
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.
