Korfball drills for technique passing / attack

  • Shooter with a defender in front of the post. 
  • Passer with defender behind the post. 
  • Passer throws long ball at shooter and takes rebound.
  • Shooter may pass an x on defender rebounder
  • When defender jumps in, rebounder steps out for a breakthrough.

1 post 4 squares around it with pilons

  • Each square has 1 attacker and 2 or more defenders. 
  • Passing and scoring after a diagonal pass. 
  • Interception means substitution 
  • 4 versus 4 
  • Men come into a supportive position to let the men score.
    • Option 1: Positions under the post are filled by 1 lady and 1 man.
    • Option 2: Positions under the post would be filled by 2 ladies.
    • Option 3: Play in 3:1 ratio
  • Ladies would play side by side, one for the breakthrough and the other for the shot.
  • Work in groups of 3
  • Players throw the ball at each other
  • Player A throws to player B. 
  • And player A runs deep
  • Player A shoots the ball into the post
    • Make sure you run straight to the post. 
    • Don't stop running too early and the pass should be good.
  • You can extend the exercise further by passing the ball back to player B who takes a through-ball instead of taking a shot 
  • Pilon 1
    • Tap the ground 6 times and jump up and stretch out all the way. RUN TO POST 1.

  • One rebounder, one defender and one attacker.
  • 30 sec attacks...if attacker can score, he becomes rebounder at the next post.
  • If not, he becomes the defender.
  • Rebounder becomes attacker all the time...
