Korfball drills

  • The coach picks up as many balls as children.
  • As soon as the name is called, a ball goes into the field and the person has to fetch it.
  • The key is to keep the ball in and take good care of fitness.
  • You make a 2-team.
  • To begin the exercise, stand side by side on the sideline, one runner and one with the ball.
  • The idea is to throw a long ball into the hands of your teammate.
  • One player stands with the ball and the other player runs in depth. The runner runs about 4 to 5 yards and then the ball is thrown.
  • The ball is thrown as tightly as possible in the run to the fellow player.
  • The runner throws the ball back and runs back to sideline.
  • You do this 3 times and then switch positions.
  • Two players have two pawns between them in two different colors.
  • Number the pawns 1 and 2 or to a color, for example, red and white.
  • Players put the pawns between each other and plank.
  • When the coach calls out a color or number, as quickly as possible hand on it.
  • The player who is first wins, best of 5.
  • Winners move one way, losers the other.
  • 1 player takes an out-of-bounds ball in front of the basket.
  • And rebounds the ball inside.
  • Then goes the same way to the outside.
  • The player shoots only after he/she goes outside.
  • The exercise can be extended to include a through ball.
  • It is important to pass continuously with the outside hand.
  • We divide the group into 2 or 3.
  • The trainer counts down and then all groups get to shoot at the same time.
  • If you score in one shot, you get 3 points.
  • If you catch the ball without hitting the ground, you get 1 point.
  • Then you take the rebound right away for 2 points.
Only the square and not the diamond is used in this form of training. The primary training objectives here are:
  • Keeping space in the box, through running lines in a square
  • Timely replenishment of vacant position, timing running moments.
  • Passing ball at pace to next player.
Note: the square must be smaller because the diamond is not used initially. Player must be at a distance they can throw.

For the exercise, there is an inside and outside square marked by pawns. So players are not allowed to go outside that path and therefore not make the square smaller than that:
  • Player 1 plays to 2 -> runs after own ball at reasonable pace;
  • Player 2 plays directly to 3 -> runs at reasonable pace after own ball;
  • etc.
  • The ball pace goes up slowly.
  • When the children have this under control, the ball goes the other way.
The ball should be passed quickly and passed faster and faster.
Eventually, players should always be able to get to the empty spot just in time, because the pace of the ball is almost faster than that of the players.

Playing tight balls is a requirement here.

Play 4-on-3:
  • The three defenders try to defend every shot within 5 meters.
  • Only at greater distance is the defender allowed to hang.
  • The offense plays around until there is a free shot opportunity within the 5 meters and a defender is on the way to defend that shot.
  • The free player makes sure to intercept.
  • After 3 goals or 3 interceptions we get a new defense.

  • Attacker at 8 meters in front of the post runs to the left.
  • Receives ball on outside hand.
  • Immediately plays in with outer hand.
  • Then goes to the right.
  • Repeat the same thing.
  • On the 5th back and forth, attacker goes inside.
  • For a DLB or short chance in front of or behind the basket.
Play with 4 players around the post.

  • 1 player grabs the catch.
  • Next player to pass the ball, takes the hand-off.
  • Ball is played in to the handler, handler passes back out to the person from whom he/she got the ball.
  • Player takes a shot.
Important is to keep high ball tempo, fill in fast, fill in correct persons and throw correct hand.
