Korfball drills

• Make groups of 2/3 players.
• 1 Jenga tower is placed in the middle of the poles.
• You are going to work through a list of exercises.
• For each exercise all groups get 1 minute to score as many goals as possible.
• The number of goals determines the order for pulling a stone from the Jenga tower.
• Most goals starts.
• In case of equal number of goals stone, paper, scissors.
• The team that knocks over the tower in any way is the loser.
• This also applies if a ball rolls against it!

• With 3 or 4 combine in a room.
• Everything with 1 hand.
• Try to throw and catch with both left and right.

Rules:

• Each pair has 1 ball and takes turns shooting.
• All teams start shooting at the same time.
• Teams keep track of the number of goals they have scored.
• Each team makes the same prearranged shots.

Game:

• The game starts with each team having to score 2 goals.
• The first team to do so calls to the trainer.
• The coach stops the game.
• Everyone who has 2 goals at that moment, goes for the next round for 3 goals.
• All teams who have not scored 2 goals yet, start again with 2 goals.
• Now the teams have different goals.
• In the next round, each team must score one more goal than they scored in the previous round.
• This continues until one team has scored 10 goals.

• 1 pole with a pawn or ball on each side at 2 meters.
• When using pawns, the ball is at the first pawn and the player takes it to the next pawn and puts it back there.
• When using balls, the player puts the ball back at the original spot before going to the next pawn.
• Player starts at 5 meter before the basket, on start signal player sprints to the first pawn/ball.
• Player jumps back and forth as high as possible over the pawn/ball, catches the ball and scores from 2m.
• If the goal is missed the player jumps back and forth over the ball again and scores.
• If the goal is hit go to the next ball/pawn and repeat until the player has had all sides of the post.
• Can make it a competition in various ways, increase the distance from 2m to 3 or 4m, instead of jumping left-right to front-back.

• Divide the group in two.
• Place the poles so that from the middle it is about 5 meters to each pole.
