Korfball drills

• Put two chairs 18,3 meter apart.
• Put a tennis ball on chair 1 (this will be replenished), and put a bowl on chair 2.
• The players work in pairs.
• One player runs and the other fills up the tennis balls.
• Collect in 9 minutes as many tennisballs as possible in the bin.
• You are not allowed to throw and you have to run around the chairs.

• Cover 5x the distance of 10 meters as fast as possible.
• Put 2 cones/line at 10 meter distance.
• The player runs between these cones 5x.
• The pawn/line must be hit with the foot!
• The players work in pairs.
• One player runs and the other player clocks.

• Put 4 pawns in a T-shape.
• 5 meter distance next to each other (between 3,2 and 4) and 10 meter ahead (between 1 and 2)
  • Start at 1 forward to 2,
  • then left sideways to 3,
  • then right sideways to 4,
  • then left sideways to 2
  • and backwards to 1.
• Record the fastest time in 2 attempts.
• Players work in pairs. One runs, one clocks.

• The player sits with his back against the wall and his legs in a 90 degree angle.
• Keep this up for as long as possible.

• Jump as far as you can from a standing position with your feet next to each other.
• Measure the distance from the line of touch to the heel.

• Put four caps around the basket at a distance of 4 meters.
• 1 in front 2 on either side of the basket and 1 behind the basket.
• The players at the front/back are 1 team and the player on either side of the basket are 1 team.

Option 1:

• A shot is taken by a random player all 4 players try to grab the rebound.

Option 2:

• There is shot by a random player all 4 player try to grab the rebound.
• Once the ball is caught by a player he has 2 choices: He shoots the ball directly at the basket himself or he places the ball directly on his teammate and he takes the shot.

• Play freely but see practice back.
• 3 x interceptions change
  • score interception off

• Stand with the front of your feet on an elevation (such as a step) and lower your heels as far as possible so your calves are properly stretched.
• Now slowly stand on your toes. All the weight is now resting on your toes and you can feel your calves contracting.
• Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position.
• Doing this exercise slowly will work your muscles more effectively--you won't get the same effect by jumping up and down at a fast pace.
• Check yourself by keeping track of time; each repetition should last no less than 6 seconds total.
• Repeat this exercise as many times as you can. Twenty reps is fine to start with.

• The basic squat.
  • Place your feet hip-width apart and keep your feet on the ground.
  • Slowly lower yourself as far as you can by bending your knees--keep your back as straight as possible and keep looking forward.
  • Come back up to the starting position. Begin with 3 sets of 10 squats.
• Squats with weights.
  • Place your feet hip-width apart and place two handbells on the floor between your feet (start with 2.5kg - 4kg, depending on what you can handle).
  • Kneel down as you would for the basic squat and grasp the weights.
  • Then stand with the weights in your hands and let them hang by your sides.
  • Lower yourself back down.
  • Repeat. Do 3 sets of 5 repetitions.
• Jump up from the squat.
  • Stand with your feet hip-width apart and bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the ground (no deeper). Instead of coming up slowly, jump up with force from the kneeling position and try to turn 180 degrees.
  • As you land, sink through your knees again into a squat position--spring with the movement and try not to land straight up.
  • Repeat and keep changing directions while jumping so you don't get dizzy (so turn right the first time and left on the next jump, and so on). Start with 3 sets of 5.

Skipping Ropes. It seems almost too obvious to be true, but regular rope jumping exercises the muscles you need for a vertical jump. To do this, use a hard surface with plenty of room for the rope in all directions. Try to exercise for 15 to 20 minutes a day.

• Do not jump with one, but with two feet at the same time.
• Train to jump faster and faster. Start slowly with a hop between each jump to keep your balance. When you notice that you are getting better at rope jumping, drop the hop and spin the rope faster.
• If you want to do something other than jumping rope, try running up and down stairs. This is a similar workout and exercises many of the same muscles.
