Korfball drills

• For one minute, one player is working
• That player stands at about 3/4 meter in front of the basket
• The receiver stands with the ball under the basket.
• The active player gets the ball and shoots, and then immediately walks to the back of the basket to shoot at 3/4 meter.
• Then shoot in front of the basket again, then to the back of the basket etc.
• After one minute, the active player changes from catch to shoot.

Start line-up
Two groups at the first two pawns.

Exercise
The first one in line runs to the basket lying on the ground and goes through it, so the basket goes over their head. Then he runs through the defence posture to pawn two and turns around it 4 times. Finally, he runs to pawn 3 and tries to score (3 attempts) before he can run back to pawn 1 and hit the next one in line.

Defensive stance:
Backwards and through the knees with your arm up.

Distance setup:
Hoop from pawn 1: 5 meters.
Pawn 2 from hoop: 5 meter.
Pawn 3 from pawn 2: 5 meter.
Pole from pawn 3: 4 meters.

Put a basket in front of each pair. Make sure they are lined up and that there is space on both sides for them to run through. Place a pawn at both sides at 8-9 metres.

• One of you starts under the basket with the ball, the other near the pawn.
• You run to the basket, get the ball and make a pass.
• Then you run to the next pawn to make another pass ball.

Continue until someone has scored a certain number or work with a time limit.
When this is the case, the declarer and the taker switch.

The handler must of course make sure that he has caught the ball again in time to signal the next pass.

At each basket stands one pair with ball. The shooter stands at 3 or 4 metres in front of the basket and there is a catcher under the basket. The ball starts under the basket.

• The pairs try to score 3 goals as soon as possible.
• As soon as one of the shooters has scored 3 goals, the team shouts YES.
• This means that all other pairs switch functions.

Scoring three goals earns your team 1 point. The game goes on, who has 3 points first.

• All players stand in a circle.
• Player A throws the ball to player B, and then runs to player B's spot.
• Player B throws the ball to player C, and stands on the spot of player C.

Start in a small circle (close to each other) and make the circle bigger and bigger.

Can be done in 2 groups, which group can stand furthest apart without making mistakes?

• The trainer sets up two (parallel) rows of an equal number of players evenly spaced apart.
• Both rows face a basket.
• The ball starts with a player under the basket.
• The person in charge plays a short pass to the first in line in front of him, the receiver catches the ball and turns around to pass it to the next in line.
• When the ball has reached the last player in line, he passes it back to the player 2 spaces ahead of him, etc., until the ball has reached the player in front of the basket, who takes a short shot.
• The shooter then takes the place of the declarer who then closes in behind as quickly as possible.

Variant:

• When the ball has reached the last in line (farthest from the basket), the declarer comes to support (high, depending on distance).
• The last player in line passes the ball to the attacker and starts a sprint for a walkthrough.
• The player is allowed 1 rebound attempt.
• A scored walkthrough ball is worth 3 points, a short shot 1 point.

The team that scores the most points wins. The teams learn to discover that the BALANCE between pace and precision is important. Those with pace are likely to get more chances, but those in a hurry pass inaccurately and may not finish the chances, requiring even more time. A fun game with a competitive element!

Inshort: exercises in catching balls that bounce or roll at the right moment.

Organisation: each team has a ball and a basket.

• Three teams,
• the declarator stands in the middle under the basket.
• He rolls the ball a few metres away.
• As soon as the ball is loose, the other two may run.
• Who has the ball first, can make a turnaround or an attack with a pass?
• After 3 substitutions.

• Put a pole in the middle and divide your team in 2 groups.
• One group starts on the left, the other on the right (the right group (A) starts with the ball).

• Throw the ball to player B who stands left and walk directly to the basket for a walkthrough ball.
• You get this ball from the space of player B.
• Player B is going to catch.

As an alternative:

• You can start the ball at Player B.
• Throw to Player A and walk to the basket for support.
• Player A throws the ball to Player B and runs on for a walkthrough.
• See above but then Player A gets the ball for a walkthrough but does not take it but plays to Player B for a short chance. (Player B must then pull away).

Make two pairs.

• Start both at the front of the basket.
• Player A throws to player B and immediately runs a long line.
• Player B passes to the long line and goes to catch.
• Player A shoots, Player B catches.
  
  

Things to coach for:

• Make sure players are deflecting the long line toward the basket.
• Coach on throwing the long ball, make sure it is tight and arrives well.
• Try to shoot quickly so that your opponent is not right in front of you.

You can alternate this exercise by

• Don't let Player B catch the ball, but cut in for support.
• Let player A catch the ball first, throw it back immediately and then run the long line.
• Have Player B catch and then pull away for a short chance under the basket.

Divide your team into two teams.

You will stand by a basket per pair and follow exercises that your trainer indicates.

Exercises can be:

• 3 laps of passing balls (catch your own ball) (depending on the number of baskets you can make more or less laps)
• 3 laps in out shot (pass to the outside)
• 3 laps of short chance
• 3 laps pass balls late (take overhead)
• 15 dots per person (per 2 on 1 basket)
• 10 free balls per person (per pair on 1 basket)
• 10x shot from standstill
• 10x shot from movement (try on 1 leg)

Start line-up
Two groups at the first two pawns.

Exercise

• The first in line runs to the hoop and goes through the hoop from the bottom, so the hoop goes over their heads.
• Then he runs through the defence posture to pawn two and circles this in 4 circles.
• Finally, he runs to pawn 3 and scores before he can run back to pawn 1 and tap the next one in line.

Set-up distance:

Hoop from pawn 1: 5 meters.

Pawn 2 from the hoop: 5 meter.

Pawn 3 from pawn 2: 5 meter.

Pole from pawn 3: 4 meter.

• Put out a square of 20 by 20 with hats.
• In the middle put balls (1 less than the number of players)
• The players walk in circles around the hats
• At the whistle they run in and try to get a ball

When you have a ball you can try to shoot (penalty throw - distance) and if you score you have a point, at every new round one ball less in the middle. The players who don't get the ball keep running.
