Korfball drills

You play the old fashioned game of loafing. You play in the formation shown below. One pylon is always empty. The attackers have to occupy the empty pylon by running free. In the middle stands the loafer. He tries to intercept the ball by making a smart move. It is not allowed to cross at an angle.

Note the movement of catching with one hand.

Groups of two stand at a distance of 4 metres from each other.

• There are all groups of 2 made.
• The groups get per pair a ball and have to throw the ball over.
• When they do this, they have to run around the pole, so they are not allowed to pass the ball while standing still.
• Running doesn't matter in this exercise.
• Running is jogging, and they have to keep an eye on their partner.

• The group is divided over the poles in groups of 2 or 3.
• Practicing shooting
  • Which group at a distance of 5 meter will be first to score 6 times.
• Practicing with dunkers
  • Which group will be first to score 12 passes.
• Practicing with short chances
  • Which group will be first to score 9 short chances.
• Practicing penalty throw under hands
  • Which group will be first to score 12 penalty shots under hands.
    
    

• We have poles, cones or caps placed 8 metres apart in a square.
• The team divides itself over the poles, cones or caps.
• Then they sprint 100% for a few seconds.
• They start with:
  • Sprint for 15 seconds.
  • Rest 1 minute.
  • Sprint for 30 seconds.
  • 1 minute rest
  • 45 second sprint.
  • Rest 1 minute.

  • END

• the chaos game is fun for younger children, but can also be played with older children.

• At the Chaos game the goal is that each child has a ball, and that there are 3 or 4 poles (also depending on the number of players)
• in a row.
• Each player starts at the same pole,
• There is a countdown and then they all start shooting,
• If they score, they may move one pole,
• If they don't score, they remain at the post until they have scored.
• You can decide beforehand whether they should pass each pole 1, 2 or 3 times, depending on the level.
• Variation: you can use cones to mark a circle outside which the players have to shoot,
• They are only allowed to enter the circle to catch the ball.
• The materials below are for 4 people (hat = pawn)

• 2 teams of 3 players.
• One team throws to each other by running free.
• Defenders try to intercept.

• 1 shooter in front of the basket.
• Underneath the korfball attacker and defender.
• The attacker takes position and the defender makes it difficult.
• Catch the ball under pressure.
• Change after 3 shots.

• Each group has a basket and a ball, the baskets should preferably (but not necessarily) be arranged in a circle or rectangle.
• The number of persons per group is less important (all groups should be about the same size).
• The first assignment for the groups is: make 10 walkthrough ball goals.
• When you are done, the creator of the last goal goes to the trainer to get the next assignment. Which group has completed all assignments first?
• The trainer has a piece of paper with a list of assignments.
• When someone comes to get the next task, first ask him which task he just did (it can vary a lot after a while) and then give the next task.
• List:
  • 10 passing balls,
  • 15 penalty shots,
  • 5 shots from 4 meters,
  • 10 walk-throughs from behind the basket,
  • 10 shots from 3 meters behind the basket.

• All players line up.
• The first two players have a ball.
• Player 1 starts shooting, when he has shot, player 2 may also start.
• If 1 scores before 2, he may go to the back.
• If 2 scores before 1, 1 is out and must go to the side.
• The last two players must start at the same time and score 3 times.
• The one who gets 3 first wins.

• The children stand in a square around the pole.
• They pass the ball around by walking in and out and coming up next to the person with the ball.

Variation

• The person in the middle stands as a catcher and the person behind the post as a passer.
• The two in front start moving, the ball is thrown out or passed.

• The children choose their own distance,
• at least 4 metres, to shoot.
• They walk in and out and practice to shoot on 1 leg.

• First we practice this, after about 5 minutes, they will compete against each other who is the first to score 5 times.
• It must be shooting on the move.
