Korfball drills

1 declarer and 1 attacker

The attacker draws away from under the basket diagonally and gets the ball passed to him by the attacker, the attacker hits the ball. The attacker runs to the basket again, touches the post and pulls away diagonally to the other side of the post and shoots again.

Do this for 1 minute and count the goals, the declarer catches the ball each time and passes it to the forehead of the attacker.

Game form of 2 attackers, 2 defenders and 1 attacker.

Let the two attackers attack for 1 minute and they may play together with the attacker but also with the other attacker. Count the number of goals per person and rotate after 1 minute. The attacker who scores the most goals is the winner of the game.

Walk straight to the basket.

Place your right foot slightly to one side, bend your knees and then step out to the left.

Make a 90-degree angle to the left.

When throwing the ball to the net, make a cross pass and then come out on the outside leg.

Take the ball with spread fingers, so that you can shoot directly.

The cross passes with one leg in front of the other. At the same time you turn your body towards the basket.

Make a pass to the side or slightly backwards and turn the body further in, so that the body is facing the basket.

Attention !

Your shoulders are straight towards the basket.

Your feet are straight towards the basket.

You process the shot like we discussed in the previous section on shot from stand.

Legs side by side, slightly spread, about 1 foot between both feet (so the archer stands firm and balanced).

Fingers spread, thumbs and index finger in a triangle.

Ball in front of your face, looking just over the ball.

Shoulders straight to the basket.

Feet straight to the basket.

Body straight to the basket.

Elbows outwards, approx. 15 cm from the body.

Knees and then jump straight up (the power of the shot comes from the legs).

Extend your arms in the direction of the basket.

Shoot the ball in an arc towards the basket.

Point the ball in the direction of the basket.

 • Come back to the same place with both legs as you kick off.

Keep watching and pointing the ball until it hits the basket (to improve your next shot).

Catch with 1 hand

Thumb and fingers spread, make sure hand is relaxed.

Receiving the ball, passing the body.

Turn your body (to get the speed out of the ball).

Bend your knees slightly (to reduce speed and maintain control 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.

Stand in pairs facing each other, about 5 metres apart

Stand on your left leg and throw the ball with your left hand to the left of your team-mate. Both throw and catch with one hand. Do this 15 times with the left hand and then 15 times with the right hand. After this, switch to standing on the right leg and repeat the exercise.

Make 5 rows of hats, each row has its own colour.

Have the players jog between the hats. After about 10 seconds call out a color and the players must sprint to the hats with the correct color. The last player to reach the hat gets a penalty point. At 5 penalty points the player has to do 5 push-ups and then starts again at 0 penalty points.

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.

You run through all the hats and then give the tennis ball to the next runner who does the same.

Player 1 at 2.5 m from the post, player 2 at pass-on position (whichever player 1 likes best)
