Korfball drills
Catch with 2 hands
Thumbs behind the ball
Fingers spread
Thumb and index finger in triangular shape (to prevent overshoot).
Feet crossed at an angle with a space of about 30 cm (shoulder width or just outside).
Receive the ball with arms almost stretched out.
Squeeze the ball lightly on reception.
Bring the ball up to chest height with your arms bent (to get the speed out of the ball).
Set up two poles facing each other at about 7 meters. The player with the ball stands to the right of the pole, the player without the ball stands to the left of the pole about 1.5 meters in front of the pole. The person with the ball throws to the person without the ball and makes a pass ball. After every pass ball there is a change of roles.
The following run through ball exercise combines practice of the run through ball with fitness training.
The exercise is done on 1 basket, with 4 players and 2 balls. Two players stand under the basket without the ball, one player left in front of the basket with the ball and one player right in front of the basket with the ball.
Player 1 walks up to the middle. He or she chooses a side and gets the ball. Splitter 1 plays the ball inside and makes a through ball. The attacker catches the ball, and fills the empty spot. The person in front without the ball runs through the middle to the basket, and the exercise starts again.
When the exercise is clear, you can choose to make it more about speed. If you choose to do this, the player who throws the ball from the front to the ascending player goes after his ball, and as soon as he or she is in the middle, he or she runs after the person who throws the through ball. As soon as the latter has taken his through ball, the new person runs up and the exercise begins again.
Play a game of 2-on-2 with one attacker under the post. The attackers can play each other but also the free person under the basket, the free person is only attacker and defender. Let the attackers attack for 3 x 45 seconds and then swap the attackers and the defenders. To add an element of competition you can count the goals.
Put 4 hats in a square and 1 hat with a tennis ball in the middle, the distance between the hats is 5 meters.
Start running at an empty hat and take the tennis ball from the middle hat and put it on an empty hat on the outside.
Then run to the middle again and tap the hat in the middle with your hand, Â then run to the hat with the tennis ball and pick it up and put it on the hat in the middle.
