Korfball drills

In short: exercises in catching balls that bounce or roll at the right moment. This is to learn how to catch a ball as quickly as possible.

Organisation: One ball per pair.

  • The numbers 1 and 2 of each pair stand next to each other.
  • The trainer throws, rolls or bounces the ball a few metres away.
  • Number 1 and 2 have to get the ball, pick it up and pass it back as fast as possible.
  • The one who does this the fastest wins. After 5 times change.



  • you have three kids per post.
    • 1 is the attacker,
    • 1 is the defender and
    • 1 is the attacker, 1 is the defender and 1 is the attacker/catcher.
  • The attacker should try to score and the
  • defender must prevent this.
  • change when the attacker has scored.

  • The remaining players take shots, free balls and penalty shots in the meantime
  • while the other two are busy with the reflex training.



4 baskets, 3 players at a basket.

  • There is one person under the basket, one attacker far in front of the basket and one attacker also far in front of the basket.
  • The attacker runs without the ball towards the basket, the attacker throws the ball towards the running attacker.
  • The trick is to throw the ball in time for the attacker to catch it and then make a walkthrough.
  • To keep the tempo up, the players keep changing.
  • Attacker goes under the basket, attacker becomes attacker and person under the basket becomes attacker.


Points of attention:

  • Change pace, do not only run but also surprise your opponent.
  • Blocking, in the line of your defender.
  • Movement of the body upwards, not forwards.
  • The participants walk one after the other around the lines in a line.
  • The person at the front of the line can do whatever he wants for example: heels buttocks, sprints, lifting knees etc.
  • When the trainer calls 'yes', the person at the back of the line starts running as fast as they can and can then choose what they want to do.
  • It must be something other than normal running/jogging, it may be sprinting.
  • Warming up
  • 3min back and forth walk
  • 30 sec rest
  • 2 min back and forth walk
  • 30 sec rest
  • 3 min walk
  • Player 1 throws
  • Player 2 runs deep
  • Player 3 defends
  • 1 starting pawn
  • make 2 groups
  • the attack takes the ball out to the trainers.
  • When the defence has intercepted the ball, they first pass it back to the trainers.
  • When a goal is scored, the team gets a bonus and can take the ball back out.
  • When attacking, pay attention to good set-ups and the star shape to get free

The team divides into two groups. Then the two groups go on to score a series of all 5.

This includes:

  • 5x Drive-throughs
  • 5x shots
  • 5x free balls
  • 5x penalty shootings
  • 5x small chances
  • The whole group walks around the yellow lines of the field in a line.
  • When the trainer calls 'yes', the person at the back of the line starts to run in front of the line as fast as possible.
  • The children do this by pulling a sprint.


Options:

  • The children run after each other around the yellow lines in a line.
  • The person at the front of the line can do what he wants for example: heels buttocks, sprinting, lifting knees etc.
  • When the trainer calls 'yes' the person at the back of the row starts to walk as fast as possible to the front of the row and can choose what he wants to do. It must be something other than normal running/jogging, it may be sprinting.
  • At pawn 1
    • touch the groundtap the ground, jump up and stretch all the way. We do this ten times.
    • RUN TO THE FIRST POST.
  • Pole 1
    • then you take a shot at pole 1
    • RUN TO THE SECOND POLE.
  • Pole 2
    • 5 sit ups.
    • RUN TO POLE 2.
  • Pole 2
    • Take a run through at pole 2.
  • We do this 5 times
  • but each time change under the pole.
  • You make groups of 2 or 3.
  • You're going to shoot at the basket and when you've scored you shout YO,
  • and then turn with your group to the next pole.
  • So you go through who first has said 5 times YO has won
