Korfball drills

• Make a kind of tennis court with pawns, where there are 3 squares (the middle square is 'the net', this is about one meter wide).
• In the two outermost squares stands a player.
• The two players take turns with the ball.
• They have to bounce the ball in the middle square, and try to bounce the ball in the other player's square.
• In between they catch the ball, so you are not allowed to tap it!

• Make two rows at 10 metres opposite each other and about 3 metres apart.
• The players face each other one by one.
• Face each other with both hands and do not drop the ball.
• Make a series as high as possible in 1 minute.
• Play with the outer hand on the outer hand of your opponent, with one hand throw and catch (right), make a series as high as possible without dropping the ball.
• Play with the outside hand on the outside hand of your opponent, with one hand throw and catch (left), make a series as high as possible without dropping the ball.
• Run into each other, jump and catch and throw the ball in the air with two hands.

• Make two rows at 10 metres opposite each other and about 3 metres apart.
• The players face each other one by one.
• Face each other with both hands and do not drop the ball.
• Make a series as high as possible in 1 minute.
• Play with the outer hand on the outer hand of your opponent, with one hand throw and catch (right), make a series as high as possible without dropping the ball.
• Play with the outside hand on the outside hand of your opponent, with one hand throw and catch (left), make a series as high as possible without dropping the ball.
• Run into each other, jump and catch and throw the ball with two hands in the jump.

• Make up 2/3 teams and do the following assignments:
  • Pass balls
  • Dropping balls (short distance)
  • Penalty throw
  • Distance shots (minimum 6 meters)
• Do all this for 2 minutes per person per task and write down the number of points you have scored.

• The handler stands 3 meters next to the post.
• The handler passes the ball when asked to do so by putting his hands forward.
• The taker catches the ball himself.
• The handler becomes the shooter and the shooter becomes the handler. score 10 goals pp

• The ball is played to a moving lady at about 4 meters.
• The person passing on determines whether the ball is placed to the left or to the right of the lady.
• The passing must be tight and at eye level of the shooter. score 10x pp
• Next, a defender comes to stand in front of the take-off lady.
• Now you see that, if you do not keep the ball up, it will be difficult for the receiver to see it
• So if you hold the ball up high, she can see which way you are going to pass and can therefore react properly
• If she does not get free, check the position of the defender, make sure you are playable and the person taking the ball steps outagain
• Again with the defender, but now you pretend to throw.
• For the receiver, this is the signal that she must come for the breakthrough. score 10x pp

• We play 4:4 with a catch under the post until the first shot is made.
• After that the catch comes from the space.
• The receiver stands, with regard to the shooter, at the side of the post. (So pass from the space).

This is an isolated drill to practice dynamic rebounding.

• Players have to estimate from the movement where the ball will end up and grab it as fast as possible.
• The ball starts under the basket and is thrown to the player in front of the post.
• He shoots.
• The player in front of the post runs to the cap and back and tries to catch the ball within 1 bounce.
• When the rebounder has succeeded in catching the ball after at most one bounce, he can shoot again.
• Move the cap further away.
• Challenge players to catch the ball without a bounce.

• You will do this task in pairs.
• Use a basket for each pair.

• Put 4 hats around the basket in a square about 1.5 meters from the basket. (the basket is in the middle)
• Stand in between the 2 hats in front of the basket.
• Shoot to score.
• The person under the basket names a colour and you tap on that colour.
• Go back between the 2 hats in front of the basket.
• If you have scored, you don't have to run to a colour.
• Do this until someone has scored 5.

• Players learn not to throw a ball to the passer and then wait for the ball to be caught, but to run after it immediately.
• The ball is thrown to the basket.
• Immediately after throwing the ball, run after it to the basket.
• Goal is to be past the line before the ball is caught.
• Then get the ball back and shoot.
• The line makes the assignment concrete.
• Depending on the team, this may or may not be necessary.
• Variation 1:
  • The ball starts under the basket, is outplayed and immediately thrown back.
• Variation 2:
  • Working with an opponent.
  • This opponent does not run with the ball to the basket (because that would not work in an exercise where the breakthrough is the only option), but does ensure that the attacker has to run around something.

• Plays with 4 players around the post.
• One player takes the attack. Next player to pass the ball takes the pass.
• Ball is passed to the forward, forward passes to the player who gave him/her the ball.
• Player takes a shot.
• It is important to keep a high ball tempo, to fill in quickly, to fill in the right persons and to throw in the right hand.

Rules explain:

• The person taking it stands with 1 foot exactly behind the dot and the other foot stands behind the perpendicular line on the center line, from the dot.
• Everyone stands outside the imaginary line.
• Attackers stand 2.5 metres from each other.
• Defenders stand 2.5 metres from the dot, but do not have to.
• When person with ball moves, defenders may enter circle, attackers only when ball has been touched by person or is outside circle.
• Persons under the post have their feet on the same side of the post.
• An attacker or defender may not place his foot between those of the opponent.
• Defender always stands between attacker and post, except under the post when attacker is against the post.

Everyone stands in base position.

Learn variations:

• Play ball back to the person who took it out.
• The person who takes the ball decides by looking at the defenders if he passes to the side or under the basket.
• Ball is played to player moving away under the basket.
