Korfball drills for technique attack / score

Inshort: practise various forms of the shot in a fun competition format.

Organisation: each group a basket and a ball, the baskets are preferably (but not absolutely necessary) arranged in a circle or rectangle. The number of people per group is less important (all groups should be about the same size).

Pawns set up at 1,3,5 metres

The first assignment for the groups is: make 10 goals. When you are done, the creator of the last goal goes to the trainer to get the next assignment. Which group will have completed all assignments first?

The trainer walks around the room, encouraging or correcting the players. He has a piece of paper with a list of assignments. When someone comes to get the next assignment, first ask him which assignment he just completed (after a while this can vary considerably) and then give the next one. Here's an example: 10 walk-through balls, 15 penalty shots, 5 shots from 8 meters, 10 walk-through balls from behind the basket, 5 dodgeballs next to the post, 10 shots from 6 meters. Everything is possible of course, a lot of momentum comes from keeping the number of goals to be scored small.

Tasks:

  • 6 scores from 2,5 meter in front of the basket
  • 6 scores from 1 meter in front of the basket
  • 6 scores from 6 meter in front of the basket
  • 6 scores from 2,5 meter behind the basket
  • 6 scores from 1 meter behind the basket
  • 6 scores from 6 meters behind the basket

Indicate from the space

Keep space under the basket free and pass to the player from various positions in the field. First without and then with a defender.

Pay attention to good placement of the ball!

Setup: O v * * = pilon O = basket

* v O

[Make
sure that they first pass the ball before passing it.

Distance between the pile and the basket is +/- 10 meterAt
each pile there is one person with the ballAt
+/- 4 meter from the pile there is one defender.

The player tries to pass the ball. By changing tempo she tries to pass the defender first. Defender follows, but lets her pass. From pole 1 the attacker moves on to pole 2 and makes a new attempt at pole 2.

Variation:

  • 2 attackers at the same time
  • When scoring twice, switch to pass.
  • Defender goes for preventing shot.
  • Attacker can choose for walk through, dodge and/or distance with step behind
    • adjust time
    • multiple posts/pillars/players

Setup: O v * * = pilon O = basket

* v O


  • Distance between the pile and the basket is +/- 10 meter.
  • At every pole stands 1 attacker with the ball.
  • At 1 meter from the pylon stands 1 defender (you must be able to touch the attacker by the shoulder).
  • The player tries to pass the ball.
  • By changing tempo she tries to pass the defender first.
  • Defender follows, but lets her pass.
  • From pole 1 the attacker continues to pole 2 and makes a new attempt at pole 2.
  • We do this for 1 to 2 minutes per person.


Variation:

  • 2 attackers at the same time
  • When scoring twice, switch to pass.
  • Defender goes for preventing shot. Attackers can choose for walk through ball, dodge and/or distance with step behind.
  • adjust time
  • Multiple posts/pillars/players.
  • 1 attacker throws the ball to the person in front of the basket then he shoots the ball when he catches the ball under the basket he then goes inside and takes a walkthrough ball finally he takes a short chance.
  • Point count:
    • Shot counts 2x
    • Walkthrough counts 1x
    • Short chance counts 1x
  • You can play this like this, for example, who is first to the 20 or
  • 1min long and then look per basket who has the most points

Extra material: ribbons.

The game is played with 8 players, if more are present, then the players are changed after each attack. Everyone will be changed once, even if it means that a lady will play against a gentleman.

During the game (4 against 4) the emphasis is on what has been learned during the training: throwing and catching in a 4-0 situation. The defense is passive. Before a player walks to the basket, he must first pass the ball 10 times.


! Form two groups. The attacker receives a vest.

This is louging in a korfball way. One person is the attacker, she/he starts with one defender. Within a playing area she/he must try to get free. In front of the box is the attacker. She/he has to make sure the ball gets to the attacker in the box. The other players stand aside. If the attacker receives the ball without the defender intercepting, a defender comes on board.


  • Running free
  • Throw
  • Contact

! Make 3 groups and let the players divide into person 1, 2 and 3. After two rounds, switch one person by.

1.

Form 3 teams near the basket. Person 1 stands 6 metres in front of the basket near the pawn, person 2 stands 6 metres behind the basket near the pawn. Person 3 stands under the basket as catcher. Person 1 starts with e.g. a pass, then goes back to the pawn. Person 2 takes a passing ball in the meantime, as person 3 has caught the ball. This is how you do all the exercises.

Exercises:

  • Pass ball
  • Pass ball right
  • Dodge ball left
  • Diverting ball past the basket

2.

The three teams are now positioned differently. The pawns are moved to the side of the basket, where a player stands near both pawns. The other player stands in front of the pawn at 4 metres from the basket. Person 1 and 2 stand near the cones and are playable as a passer. Player 3 stands near the pawns and determines his action. Player 3 must pass at least 2 times before he can take a shot. The shooter stays in front of the basket with the shot.

  • First take the shot while person 3 is walking towards the ball, later only walk away from the ball and take the shot.
  • If necessary, repeat behind the basket.

3 teams change 1 for 1

# 4 teams swap 2 by 2

Inshort: practise various forms of the shot in a fun competition format.

Organisation: each group a basket and a ball, the baskets are preferably (but not absolutely necessary) arranged in a circle or rectangle. The number of people per group is less important (all groups should be about the same size).

The first assignment for the groups is: make 10 walkthrough ball goals. When you are done, the creator of the last goal goes to the trainer to get the next assignment. Which group will have completed all assignments first?

The trainer walks around the room, encouraging or correcting the players. He has a piece of paper with a list of assignments. When someone comes to get the next assignment, first ask him which assignment he just completed (after a while this can vary considerably) and then give the next one. A list of examples: 10 walk-through balls, 15 penalty shots, 5 shots from 8 meters, 10 walk-through balls from behind the basket, 5 dodges next to the post on the right, 10 penalty shots, 10 shots from 3 meters behind the basket, 5 dodges next to the pair on the left, 10 shots from 6 meters. Everything is possible of course, a lot of momentum comes when the number of goals to be scored is kept small.

You stand by a basket in groups of 3/4. Number 1 stands under the basket as a catch, number 2 stands under the basket as a support, number 3 stands in front of the field and possibly number 4 is defender of number 2.


  • The ball starts with number 3.
  • In the meantime, number 2 walks to the front of the field to get in the support.
  • At that moment number 4 passes the ball to number 2.
  • Number 2 makes sure that the ball is turned around so that the feet pass each other.
  • After doing this three times, each player changes position.
  • You need 10 balls for the box.

2 for 2

  • Game over 2 baskets. Play on until first 2 team has 3 goals.
  • All other pairs stop immediately.
  • In case of a tie, the first team to score a tie wins.
  • At 0-0 stop.
  • Winners to the left losers to the right.

Setup: O v * * = pilon O = basket

* v O

Distance between the pile and the basket is +/- 10 meter.

At every pole stands 1 forward with ball

At +/- 4 meter from the pool stands 1 defender.

The player tries to make a through ball. By changing speed, she tries to pass the defender first. Defender follows, but lets her pass. From pole 1 the attacker moves on to pole 2 and makes a new attempt at pole 2.

Variation:

- 2 attackers at the same time

- When scoring twice, switch to pass.

- Defender goes for preventing shot. Attackers can choose for walk through ball, dodge and/or distance with step behind.

- adjust time

- Multiple posts/pillars/players.
