Korfball drill: relays

Inshort:playful running forms with groups, some forms involve working with a ball.

Organisation: groups of three or four runners line up behind a start/finish line. There is another line parallel to this line at about 15 metres distance. See also the description of the different types of relays.

Number 1 of each group sprints to the line at 15 meter, taps it, sprints back and taps the next group. After that it is this one's turn and so on.

Which group finishes first?

Variation:

Relays are often smuggled out. To make the change fairer, you can give each group a ball, which has to be given to the next runner. Or even stronger: let the players walk around the group, which is standing wide-legged, and roll the ball between the legs of the players to the front. Number 2 will thus certainly not be able to start too early!

As example 1, but now run backwards.

As example 1, but two players run at the same time, holding each other by the hand. First number 1 and 2, then number 2 and 3 and so on.

The players limp to the other side and sprint back.

The players have to dribble with a ball to the other side and return.

At the other side there is a basket. The players have to run to the basket with the ball in their hands, score a goal and sprint back with the ball in their hands. If no goals have been scored after three times, they may also run back.

The players walk on their hands and feet to the other side and sprint back.
