Korfball drills

  • Playing 2 against 2 on 1 post.
  • The aim is to increase the speed of the players and to get them to engage in the duel under the post.
  • poles in a rectangle,
  • players run from pole to pole and make walk-throughs.
  • If you miss you switch, if you hit you continue.
  • Who is the first to score x number of goals?
  • Variation
    • dodge balls, short chances, stop 4m and shot etc.


  • two teams side by side,
  • whoever gets 5 goals first gets to vote the other one off
  • A pair has 1 ball.
  • One person throws the ball in the air
  • and the other tries to catch it as high in the air as possible.

Number of players per basket: 3

Exercise:

  • 2 Players stand under the basket with a ball.
  • You have 1 shooter.
  • The shooter keeps shooting for 1,5 minute while being indicated by two people.
  • To get the shooter to shoot as many times as possible, it is important to catch the ball quickly and to indicate quickly.
  • The ball is not allowed to touch the ground or the shooter loses a point.
  • 1 declarer throws the ball to the person in front of the basket then he takes a shot when the ball is caught under the basket he then goes inside and takes a walkthrough ball finally he takes a short chance afterwards.


Important: Tightplacement and quick release so that the ball can be walked on immediately.

  • Point count:
    • Shot counts 2x
    • Walkthrough counts 1x
    • Short chance counts 1x
  • Per pair at a basket.
  • Start with 2 distance shots and score pp then get an assignment card from the trainer.
  • Add up the points on the cards.
  • player 1 and 2 stand opposite each other at about 3 meters.
  • player 3 stands about 3 meters next to player 2.
  • player 1 throws the ball with one hand to player 2.
  • Player 3 must try to get the ball out of the way.
  • Now it is important to throw well and on time otherwise player 3/defender can take the ball.

In brief:

  • Shooting exercise (-game) in which shots are made from different sides of the basket.


Organisation:

  • Per basket one pair with one ball, or in case of lack of sufficient baskets 2 pairs with one ball each.
  • At each basket four pawns or other markers:
    • 1 in front of and 1 behind the basket and
    • 1 left and 1 right of the basket,
    • always at about 6 metres distance.
  • One of each pair starts under the basket.
  • The other one's task is to score a goal from every pawn as quickly as possible.
  • After that, they will switch functions.
  • Which pair will be quickest to finish 'the trip around the world'?
  • The penalty throw can be practiced immediately in its entirety.
  • The pressure of having to score at the penalty box can be imitated in different ways:
    • Scoring ten in a row, counting again if missed.
    • Which group will have the highest number of penalty throw, score 2 points and miss 1 point,
    • who is the first to have 20 points,
    • which player scores the most in 10 attempts.
  • This exercise is all about technique.
  • Also in the game only the technique is decisive whether or not a player scores.
  • There is no time factor or defender.
  • Set up the exercises so that it is not the time that is important, but the efficiency.
  • 6 players, each under one post and the remaining players are going to run on/out/take short chances.
  • First to the middle where there is a cap and then to a pole that is free.
  • 2 players at 1 pole.
  • Player 1 throws to player 2 comes next to him and shoots.
  • Player 2 runs to the pole to catch the ball at once throws out to player 1 comes alongside and shoots. Etc.
