Korfball drills

• There are three players standing at a pole.
• Player 1 starts with the ball and throws to 2, 3 runs first short and then long, then gets the ball from player 2 and shoots.
• Player 1 catches and throws to player 2, player 2 throws to 3 and then player 1 runs the long line.
• This is how the process repeats itself.

Variations:

• Instead of shooting, player 1 cuts in and throws number 3 in and comes for the through ball
• Same as above, but then player 3 does not take a walkthrough ball but pulls player 1 away and takes a short chance

• You start with 3 players at a pole.
• Number 1 runs aside, gets the ball and shoots, then the one under the post (player 3) catches the ball.
• At that moment player 2 has to cut in front of player 1 and run for the second chance.
• Continue this way until one of the two has made three.
• The loser changes places with the one under the basket, a winner may stay at the basket a maximum of 3 times.

• Pionnon at 2.5, 4 and 6 meter, first pawn hits 1 point, 3 and 5 points on the next one.
• Shooter may choose where to shoot from. first 40 points
• Passing balls from every pawn, always behind the post. Order of scoring 1-2-3-2-1
• 1 pawn on the side, 3 meter next to the other 3. shoot from the move and hit the first 2 pawns, then change.

• You have the team form a circle around the trainer.
• They have to keep moving; when they are called left, they turn left and sprint away.
• When the call is to the right, they turn right and sprint away

• You have an attacker at 5 meters in front of the basket who is going to shoot on the move.
• Underneath the basket there is a declarator and a rebounder.
• After having played the ball, the attacker leaves the room.
• The attacker shoots as soon as he has the ball and runs immediately to catch it himself.
• The attacker only has a point when he catches the ball himself.
• The rebounder has a point when he catches the ball.

In teams of four, two attackers and two defenders.

• Player 1 with the ball throws it to player 2.
• Player 1 comes next to player 2
• Player 2 throws the ball back and runs deep
• Player 1 throws the ball to player 2
• Player 1 goes right in for catch and player 2 shoots.

In short: exercise with the emphasis on turning away from the opponent.

Organisation: Each team of five or four players has a ball and an area of about 20 by 20 metres. The players are numbered.

a ) Number 1 is attacking, number 2 is defending and numbers 3, 4 and 5 are playing together with the attacking player. Everybody can move freely through the area. The attacker always gets the ball back from numbers 3, 4 and 5. The defender's task is to intercept the ball. Can the attacker manage not to lose the ball a single time? The ball may not fall on the ground either! After about 30 seconds the players change tasks: number 3 attacks, number 4 defends, etc. until everyone has been attacker and defender once.

If necessary, extend the task next time:

b ) As a., but give the instruction that the attacker always has to turn away from her defender: that way she can both pass and receive the ball back easily. I call this: 'cutting and turning', others call it 'keeping your opponent on your back'.

c ) As a., but now the team-mates 3, 4 and 5 stand still in a triangle with a distance of about 15 metres. This makes it more difficult for the attacker.

d ) It becomes even more difficult if the attacker is instructed to pass the ball to the other players in a fixed order. She now has to run in circles, so that the defender knows exactly where the ball will go, or where the attacker wants to run to. Many balls will now be intercepted, or at least touched.

e ) Again part c. Show that the attacker has an easier time of it now because of the freedom of choice By turning away from her opponent, she creates a sea of space for herself!

• You have two mats in the room, two teams have to defend each a mat of their own.
• But before they can attack, one of the two teams must complete a task. The team that finishes first gets the ball and may attack.
• The other teams may only move once their team member has also completed the task.
• You are not allowed to run with the ball, so you have to pass.

Variations:

• The normal through ball.
  The through ball is made in one move and is fully extended.
  
  
  
• The bounce pass ball.
  The walk-through ball is indicated by a bounce.
  
  
  
• The turnover ball from the back of the basket.

• Group per basket
• 5 stop shots
• 4 back 3 meter
• 6 times frontside 4 meter
• 2 times front side 5 meters
• 4 stop shots back side
