Korfball drills

All players have their own ball. It involves the technique of "hopping" at the through-ball triplet near a basket.

  • Step 1: the children come running up with their own ball and take a through ball right in front of the basket.
  • Step 2: a passer is standing and the players come running up and take the ball from the passer and make a through ball.
  • Step 3: the children come running up and get the ball thrown low and take a through ball.
Step 1:
Each player has their own ball and lines up in a line with other players in a row 6 meters in front of the basket.
The first player in line runs toward the basket and takes a penalty throw with a quick motion. Runs back and joins the back of the line. The next player starts.

Step 2:
Same setup as step 1. Only now a player also stands in support, slightly in front of the penalty throw spot. This one puts the ball on 1 hand. The runner approaches, grabs the ball from the hand and takes a penalty throw.

Step 3:
Same as step 2. Only the declarer throws the ball up a little.

With 4 players:
  • Everyone stands 5 meters from the basket at a cone. Players forming a team put themselves in the diagonal.
  • One player has the ball and shoots.
  • The others engage in the rebound duel-the shooter too, if necessary.
  • Whoever has the ball gets to attack as a team.
  • Maximum of 2 chances.
With 3 players:
  • The player who catches forms a team with the shooter.
  • 2 against 1 to attack.
Turn after each attack.

  • Everyone stands at his/her pawn 5 meters from the basket.
  • One player has the ball and shoots.
  • The others engage in the rebound duel-the shooter, too, if necessary.
  • Whoever has the ball then gets to shoot.
  • Who has X goals first?
drawing Rebound - running duel
  • You lay down 9 hoops or baskets in a square.
  • You divide the team into 2 groups and have them start from a number of meters.
  • Here they are given 3 pawns.
  • The children must walk to the hoops and place their given pawn in one of the hoops to get butter cheese and eggs.

  • When all the pawns have been used up they must move the pawns.
drawing Butter, cheese and eggs
Per 3 or 4 at the basket:
  • Using pawns, divide the attacking area around the basket into 4.
  • There are players in 3 of these 4 areas.
  • If 4 players, set up a rebound.

  • The moment player white passes the ball to player blue, player white moves to the free area. Player blue plays on to player red, and then also starts filling in the free space.
  • Note: do not let players run away too quickly, make sure they remain playable. The idea is that they make a timely attack. Walk towards the ball.
  • Give a signal to shoot, the other 2 will fill in the rebound from space.
  • Then play again and repeat.
- If it goes well, also try it with a defender -> let the pass be given, but then make it more difficult to get free.
- If feasible, you can also implement a support in the exercise.
Let the players think for themselves who best fills this position.

drawing Rebound - running duel
Place 2 poles directly opposite each other.
Under each basket one player with ball and one player without.

  • The player without ball runs clockwise to the cone halfway diagonally across the court.
  • The ball is passed along in the run and passed to the declarer under the other basket.
  • Walk-through ball follows, self-catching.
  • Exercise repeats.

  • Players without ball run straight at each other. After a jump they go sideways to the cone.
  • There they continue without a pointer to the swerve on the other basket.
  • The shot is followed by a follow-through that is self-caught. Then you switch.

  • The player in give-up throws the ball away with backspin. The player without the ball runs to the ball and tries to catch it for the 2nd bounce. Make sure the ball is not thrown too far.
  • After catching, turn and pass to the supplied player, followed by a swerve with a shot.
  • Then run for a through ball at the other post, catching yourself.
drawing Exercise attack
Per 3 players at the basket:

  • With pawns, divide the attacking area around the basket into 4.
  • There are players in 3 of these 4 areas.
  • When player white passes the ball to player blue, player white moves to the free area.
  • Player blue plays through to player red and then also fills the free area.
  • Give a signal on which may shoot. The other 2 go out of space to fill in the rebound.
  • Then play out again and repeat.
If feasible you can also implement a support in your exercise.
Let the players think for themselves who best fills this position.

  • Each pair must try to crack the code. This is a four-digit code where the sequence matters.
  • Each exercise is a number; they can use this number in the code.
  • When they have done 4 exercises, they pass this as the code, in the order in which they did the exercises.
  • The trainer then indicates how many the players got right and how many are in, but not in the right place.
Exercises:
  • 8 walk-through balls
  • 5 rounds of running ladders pp
  • 2 laps around the whole field
  • 5 fallback balls right
  • 5 safety balls left
  • touch post small chance, 8 score
  • 20 penalty throws
  • 6 distance shots 6 m in front of the basket
  • 6 distance shots 5 m behind the basket
  • Players spread out in a box
  • All players, except the ticker, have a ball
  • The ticker tries to tap everyone.
  • If a player is tagged, he or she goes to the posts to score.
  • If successful, the player returns to the box.
  • If a player drops the ball, they are also out.
Variations through different ways of holding the ball.

  • On both sides of the basket are pawns.
  • The shooter stands in front of the basket with the ball.
