Korfball drills for technique passing / attack

• Place two posts where they usually are during a game.
• Then place two pilons at the far left and far right on the center line. 
• Ideally, this exercise is done with 8 people, more is possible, less than 8 doesn't work.
• At each post or pilon two people are standing, one person under the post starts with the ball (on both sides). 
• This person throws the ball to someone near the pilon on his right and runs after the ball. 
• This person then throws the ball to the other post, and the second person near the pilon goes for a through-ball. 
• Now the ball is under the post again and the round starts over again.

  
  

  
  

  Arrangement:

(Black line: throwing and running after the ball) (Black dotted line: throwing ball) (Red line is running for a through-ball)

• 4 posts and 4 groups, 
• 2 Balls: aim to think how to run freely when building up. 
• 4 versus 4 with 2 posts: 
  • trying to throw a long ball when building up by running deep, 
  • running free through tempo change.
• Pause a few times to discuss running free and tempo changes;
  • learning to find an angle, 
  • or when the angle is fixed, the long diagonal throw.
• 2 posts and 3 groups, 
  • defending party intercepts,
  • builds up and goes on to attack the box; 
  • Build up starts in defence!

• You put up four poles in a square, 
• in the middle of the four poles you put down a pilon. 
• four children will be passers at the poles and 
• the rest of the children will stand by the pilon in the middle.
• First, you can choose that the attackers have to take through-balls at the poles.
• It doesn't matter which pole, they may run at the same pole a maximum of 2 times in a row. 
• You can choose this, so they have to run a lot.
• The children also have to score twice, the person who does this first may definitely switch positions with a passer, the other may switch as well as soon as they score twice.
• After that you can choose to let the children do free balls, penalty throws, dodge-balls, etc. 

• Put pilons about 6 meters apart. Divide the group into 2. 
• In the case of five, one group of 3 and a group of two. 
• The goal is to keep the ball in the middle between the pilons at all times. 
• As soon as a player receives the ball, the player must be at the centre of the other side. 
• After you have passed the ball, you join the back row on the opposite side. 
• NB: Nobody stands still and tries to see what happens at all times
  • Do not arrive too early or too late. 
  • Throwing while moving. 
  • After five minutes switch side (left hand).

• Make pairs, at each post a pair.
• We are now going to use the posts lengthwise, namely one player of the pair attacks the post opposite to him or her.
• One player of the opposite post does the same.
• How does this work?
• Of each pair there is a number 1 and a number 2.
• Number 1 is going to defend his post for a minute and a half against the other number 1 of the post opposite to him.
• When the number 1 of a post has had a chance, the other number will attack and so there will be a change of function (and of post, because everyone is defending his own post).
• So there is always a change of function if the attacker has lost the ball.
• As a player, you are attacking as well as defending for a minute and a half

At a distance of +/- 15 meters from each other, make two compartments with 4 pilons of 1.5 x 1.5 meters.

Make two teams with an equal number of players. 

• Each team has its own compartment.
• The other team tries to conquer the other team's square.
• This happens when 1 striker is standing in the opponent's square and the ball is played by a team-mate.
• They get 1 point. No other players are allowed in the box.
• When the defence intercepts the ball, they may immediately start the attack on the opponent's square.

Variation:

• on time
• with points
• of both teams 1 player is allowed in the box
• no limit on the number of defendants in box
• no limit on the number of attackers in box
• customize size of box
• distance between boxes

• Put 3 pilons in a triangle. 
• At pilon 1 and 3, there's one person. 
• Person at pilon 1 has a ball, person at pilon 3 runs to pilon 2 and runs back. 
• Person at pilon 1 throws the ball when he or she arrives at the pilon, then the person at pilon 1 runs to pilon 2 and back again and gets the ball when he/she arrives at pilon 1 again. And so on.

• 2 people at each post and a ball at both posts. 
• Throw the ball to the other side and run after it, makes a run.
• The others who are facing each other do the same. 
• You make a run with the second person at the same time. The one who passed first throws the ball to the other side and runs for it. That's how roles are switched.
• The passing is important because there is a fairly large area between the passer and the one who has to run.
  
  

• One ball per groups of two/three. 
• The players pass until they reach a post. 
• At the post both players may shoot once. 
• Then they have to pass again to another post. 
• All groups just cross each other. 
• Whichever team to achieve 15 goals first wins(optional).

• 4 children are standing next to each other, about 5 meters apart.
• 1 child is going to do the exercise:
• Receives the ball at the first pilon, returns it to the player on the other side, and moves on to the second pilon and so on. 
• At the back pilon he returns with a full sprint.
• Then switch, everyone moves a place, number 5 does the exercise now. 
• Everybody has their turn. Possibly everyone could go 2-3x.

Piggy in the middle: 

• You're all standing in a circle and there's one piggy in the middle.
• Briefly repeat how to throw with two hands and how to throw with one hand. 
• During this exercise the throwing will be looked at, the good catching will be discussed later on. 

Variations: easy to difficult

1. throwing with 2 hands

2. throwing with 2 hands (with tag)

3. Throwing with 2 hands (with a tag and several piggies)

4. Throwing with 2 hands (but throwing with 1 hand is also allowed)

5. throwing with 1 hand 

6. throwing with 1 hand (with tag)

7.throwing with 1 hand (with a tag and several piggies)

Based on how goed the exercise is performed you can perform the variations in the exercise. 

How do you throw with one hand?

• It's important that the ball is on your hand behind your ear,
• your left foot is in front (if you're right-handed), 
• the ball goes past your ear towards the front, 
• the body weight goes from the back leg to the front and the wrist is folded, 
• after stretching it.

Let's practice: 

• the kids stand on a line and all have a ball. 
• Everybody throws with 1 hand (their favourite hand) and tries to throw as good as possible with that hand. 
• No distance has been agreed to yet.
• Later on, pilons are added so the children really have to throw a certain distance with the ball.

Variation: it is also possible to throw with the other hand

1. Repeat this with two hands

2. Throw with your favourite hand

3. Throw with your other hand
