Korfball drills

Organization:
Three players per post.
1 player with ball diagonally in front of the basket at 7 meters.
The other player is also diagonally in front of the post.

  • The player under the basket pulls away making the player with ball the middle player.
    • Gets the ball thrown to him from the player in front of the basket. If the arrangement is good, he thus receives the ball a little diagonally.
    • This player runs to the post for the catch -rebound-.
    • The player in front of the basket comes next to it and gets the ball.
    • And comes to shot. Remember to turn in well to the basket with the hips.
      We score 10x to the left and 10x to the right.
    • After the shot, the ball is played out to the first out runner, the catcher now runs out and play begins again.

  • Same as above
    • Only now the player who threw the ball in front of the basket comes next to it.
    • This one does not get the ball but cuts inside and makes a through ball from space without the ball.
      10x left and 10x right
    • Catches the ball himself and plays it to the first runner, the catcher now runs out and the game starts again.
Same as pawn looting, but now you may loot people when you run out of pawns in the middle.

Game rules:
  • Teams play against each other.
  • Each team has its own basket.
  • Instruct which shot is to be made, if this shot is in place then you may take a pawn from the middle
  • Are the pawns gone then you may take a person from another team.
Goal
  • Which team has robbed the most pawns/ players at the final signal.
    or
  • Which team has robbed all the players at its basket.
In pairs. One declarer and one attacker.
Communicator stands under the basket, attacker stands in front of the basket.




  • The attacker runs wide left/right and gets the ball on the outside hand.
  • Try to catch and play back with one hand.
  • On the 4th pass the attacker is going to take a shot.
  • Swap after 2 turns.
  • Emphasis on solid passes, and acceleration after re-playing.
Game:
  • Team stands in a row at basket 1.
  • Participant 1 starts shooting, then participant 2 starts shooting immediately.
  • If participant 2 scores before participant 1 then participant 1 is off and goes to basket 2.
  • Participant 2 joins behind.
  • If participant 1 scores earlier, she goes to the back.
  • Participant 3 joins the shooting. If she shoots before participant 2, then she joins at the back and participant 2 goes to basket 2.
  • This game continues on all four baskets until there is a winner on basket 1.
Agreements
  • You may interfere defensively, but not knock the ball away.
drawing Shooting waste race
The goal of these drills is for threesomes/foursomes to keep moving at a steady pace and take turns taking a chance to score.
The shots come from all sides of the basket.
  • Scoring 40 through balls, the shooter catches the ball himself and 1 of the 2 others comes in for a chance. In case of a 4-pointer, the ball can be caught by another player.
  • Score 15 dodge balls. When the ball is caught, the third player immediately makes an evasive move and is played. Timing is important.
  • 20 distance shots from about 6-8 meters from the basket, again keep moving until you get the ball.
Finally, each player scores 5 penalty shots in a row. The others can stretch in that time if they want.
  • This exercise is designed to let the players choose for themselves what they want to improve on.
  • Which (improvement) goal, which they have set for themselves, do they want to improve here.
  • As a trainer you can steer this by guiding the choice.
  • For example: the exercise must have something to do with passing/shooting/attacking/looking etc.
  • Set out a parcour of hats (= game board).
  • Per pair of players a pylon is needed (or a water bottle/shirt).
  • First exercise is the same for everyone, e.g. 20 balls. Then the game begins.
  • Dice is the number of hats ahead.
  • 1 through 5 are korfball drills, 6 = fitness task
  • If you land on the same pylon as another duo, you may give them an extra assignment.
  • Examples of korfball exercises:
    • walk-through balls
    • dodge
    • shots
    • penalty throw
    • 2 walk-through balls and then a penalty throw
    • pull-away balls
  • Examples of fitness exercises:
    • Squats
    • Push-ups (possibly on knees)
    • Jumping jacks
    • Lunges, first stepping out with the left, then with the right.
    • Burpees


  • Divide the team into 2 equal groups
  • 4 poles
  • Per group 2 poles to defend
  • May score on the 2 poles of the other group
Warm-up:

The goal is to get the Frisbee to the other side, in the box behind the playing field, by means of free running.
The attacking side gets a point when a teammate catches the Frisbee behind the line.
The player who is holding the Frisbee is not allowed to run with the Frisbee.
The defenders may not defend directly against the player who is holding the Frisbee, but they may hit the Frisbee to the ground.
The Frisbee is then for the defending side.
Therefore, if the Frisbee does not reach a teammate, it is always for the opposing team.






  1. The game is played in two teams of 4 players.
  2. The offensive team starts with the Frisbee in their hands.
  3. By overplaying, the attacking side tries to catch the Frisbee behind the backline. Is there a catch? Then the attacking side has a point.
  4. The defending side can get possession of the Frisbee by hitting it on the ground when it is loose.
  5. The team that scores 3 points first wins.

Too hard? At some point you can also choose to play in a square, where the Frisbee no longer needs to be brought behind the playing field only, but all sides earn a point

A small square around the basket. In this square, 2 players must continuously attack and pass. After each pass the player is in motion.

  • 2 Run after passing. After 4 ball touches the shot follows and the other one catches it (shoot to score, not because you are free).
  • 3 Crossing after passing.
  • After each pass, the thrower crosses with the player who did not receive the ball and they swap positions. After crossing, the ball goes to one of the two and the other one catches it.
  • 3/1 Same as above but make sure that, as soon as you receive the ball, you are ready to shoot. If you are in a good position and have caught the ball well, you may shoot, otherwise you play on and the next player shoots.
  • 4 All of the above actions but now with a good rebound, but this one does not stay in position.


6 at the basket:

  • Defenders give pressure, but allow the shot.
  • By moving and playing together as close to the basket as possible, the players create a good opportunity.
  • Rotation is done when: a goal is scored or the defender has the ball.


Change positions after 2 attacks, any other players take penalties on another post. Then swap often.

Adjust:

  • Move well after passing, free movement prevails over rebound --> dynamic
  • Turn in time for the shot.
  • Emphasize that every pass should result in an opportunity, so no pointless doubling.
  • Shoot to score, do not throw to throw
  • Prepare good shots, also close to the basket (do not take short chances nonchalantly).


After a while, make it more difficult:

  • After each pass you must cross with the other player who is not in possession of the ball.
  • Afterwards, you can leave the crossing out, and give the opportunity to run in support from the space.

5 players at the basket:

  • By moving and playing together as close to the basket as possible to get a good opportunity
  • Rotation is done when: a goal is scored, the defender has the ball or when the ball bounces.


Move forward in sequence A-A-A-V-V. The remaining players take short chances at a different post. Alternate often.

Adjusting:

  • Move well after passing, free movement prevails over rebound --> dynamic
  • Turn in time before shooting
  • Shoot to score, do not throw to throw
  • Finish your shot preparations well, also close to the basket (do not take short chances).


After a while, make it more difficult:

  • After each pass you must cross with the other player who is not in possession of the ball
