Korfball drills

• 4 teams at a pole, ball is played around (not too long) until someone goes for the catch.
• by this movement there is a hole in the 4-0,
• That hole is filled by a player who will then take a shot.
• After the rebounder has caught the first shot, he/she will immediately look for a free team-mate at the back of the game.
• this is how 'the second chance' is created.
• rebounder stays standing and catches the ball again, plays it off and moves away from the post himself.
• It is important in this exercise that all four players are on the move,
• When the first player takes a shot, the player at the back of the net must already be freeing themselves and getting ready to take the second shot.

• 1 declarer throws the ball to the person in front of the basket
• he then makes 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
  • you can play this like this, for example, who is the first to the 20

• The children make 15 runs in 5 minutes with the whole group.
• When this doesn't happen there will be a consequence!

• The children shoot from 4 meters,
• With the whole group they make 10 in 5 minutes.
• If this does not happen there is a consequence!

Variant A.

• Make groups of as equal numbers as possible and divide them over baskets with some space between them.
• Let the next player in line take a penalty throw.
• Let them all take the penalty throw at the same time at your indication (with or without whistle), this simulates the pressure that is present in a competition environment.
• The group that scores 5 penalty throws first gets a bonus life (see variant B).
• You can repeat this variant a few times (depending on the size of the group).

Variant B.

• You now move on to shooting; the pressure to score a penalty throw increases.
• Starting position is the same as variant A, however, the player who misses the penalty throw is now out.
  • Unless a bonus life previously earned by the group is used.
• That means the group shrinks.
• The last two groups with 1 person left, will compete against each other on 1 central basket.
• The players who were shot earlier form a (large) circle around the scene.
• The remaining players take turns to score a penalty throw; the one who manages to score two penalty throws before his opponent manages to score at all, gets the honorary title of king (or queen ) of the week.
  • At x-moment you can deliberately introduce some disturbing elements, such as loud music, or an extra ball in the field to get the players out of their concentration. Explain clearly what the purpose of this is.

• Group per basket
• 5 stop shots
• 4 back 3 meter
• 6 front side 4 meter
• 5 penalty shots

• One person shoots
• the rest run in circles.
• Don't stop until you've scored twice,
• then change.

• Number of players per pole is not important.
• Players will shoot from 5 to 6 meters according to age.
• If they throw in the basket consecutively, they may double the score.
• At 2 I throw in, then it's 3, then I throw in again, then it's 6 and so on.
• If a player scores, he also has to keep throwing.
• This is played with seniors usually to 3000 or 5000

• Two or three players start shooting from 3 to 4 meters,
• when they're all in, they move to the left side of the basket.
• There they have to shoot again in two or three or...before they go to the next point.
• In this way the players get all the points (wind directions) around the pole.

• 2 at the post;
• 1 takes 10 short chances and 5 penalties, these must be hit!
• The other one walks between the pillar (or line) back and forth until the other one is ready, then changes function,
• this one does the same as far as the shot is concerned.

The exercise starts in the 4-0 formation.

• The ball is passed from player 1 to player 2, after which player 1 fills the rebound-position.
• Player 3 fills the gap left by player 1 by connecting to the front.
• This creates space for player 4 to connect behind the basket.
• With this the 3-1 is realised, players 2,3 and 4 form a triangle around the basket.

The next step is to make a pass, so towards the 2-2.

• Player 2 passes the ball to player 3, and player 4 passes to him.
• Timing is very important here.
• Player 4, the attacker, must pass to the attacker just in time.
• If he is too early, his defender can pass to him, if he is too late the defender of player 3 can recover his defensive position.
• The perfect timing is therefore that player 3 can pass the ball as soon as he receives it, and that player 4 is not waiting for the ball.

• As soon as player 4 with the ball is in the passing position, both shooters, players 2 and 3, have to make an action to get a shot.
• This can be a dodging move or a wide move.
• The initiator, player 4, chooses a shooter (in the video player 2) and passes the ball to the shooter.
• The shooter takes a shot, and the rebounder, player 1, catches the ball.
• The player who did not make the shot (in the video, player 3) keeps moving and gets the ball as soon as he is caught by player 1, and still makes the shot.
• This can be called the bonus shot. Why is this shot important?
• It forces both players to keep moving, and they get a reward in the form of a shot. Player 1 catches the ball again, and the exercise is over.

Everyone turns one spot and the exercise can start again.

• With a 2 or 3 team at the basket.
  • You put four hats around the basket.
• Player A starts shooting until he has scored once on all 4 sides,
• Then player B starts shooting until he has scored on all 4 sides.
  • who finishes first.
• If you have 1 trio, then one of the children in the pair has to shoot again.
