Korfball drills
Shooting game where they get to take a card when they have scored.
- Each playing card shows a "color": clubs, spades, hearts or diamonds.
- Each color represents a fitness exercise:
- Hearts: Push-ups
- Spades: Squat
- Clubs: Burpee
- Diamonds: Lunges
- Once they have picked a card, they must first perform the corresponding exercise.
- They do this the number of times the card indicates.
- For example, Hearts 4 = push up 4 times.
- Then they may continue shooting again.
- The group with the most cards has won.
- On both sides of the basket are pawns.
- The shooter stands in front of the basket with the ball.
- The other players stand under the basket to duel for the rebound.
- After each shot, one player catches the ball.
- This player must first tap a pawn and then may catch again.
- The shooter shoots as soon as he has the ball.
- Pairs at the basket
- Pawns placed in a square with a distance of 5 meters from the basket
- Number 1 runs a pattern where shots are made at each pawn
- Number 2 runs the same pattern and tries to score more than number 1
- In case of a tie take turns shooting from pawn to preference until someone scores and the other misses
Put at least half the baskets of the number of players participating.
- One player with ball stands under each basket
- The remaining players stand in the middle between the set up baskets
- Have the players walk to a basket and pull a hook and then shoot it
- If the shot is on a normal basket the player gets 1 point
- Is the shot in at a shooter's basket then you get 2 points
- If the player has scored, he walks to the center and chooses another basket to shoot at.
- If the player did not score then you switch with the passer.
- Play to your own choice of points
To make the run-throughs a little more fun, we'll make it a contest!
- You put a number of baskets in a circle with one passer on each occasion.
- There are also more players than baskets in the middle
- Every run through counts for 1 point
- If you score a run-through, you take your turn
- If you miss the follow-through, you and the server swap positions
- The first player to score 6 points wins. Number of points to be determined on what the players can do.
variation:
- you can do different sizes of baskets and give them a different score
- for example an archer basket counts for 2 points
Objective:
- A combination of moving, passing and shooting
- An easy exercise to teach a pull away ball
Description:
- The player at the post pulls away, gets the ball and shoots.
Directions you can give:- all in quick succession
- good tight pass
- do not pull away right behind the post, difficult for a good pass
- The passer goes to catch the ball and there is a change of position
Variation:
- The catcher may shoot 1 more time himself if he/she catches the ball without colliding
You stand in pairs on a pole
- 1 in front of basket at shot distance
- 1 player is rebounder/forward
The rebounder gives a pass to the attacker standing at shot distance.
- if the rebounder can catch the ball without it colliding he may shoot
- if the ball bounces first, the shooter can continue playing
- this way all players play against each other to score 5 points for the fastest score.
- Attacker and defender ready for the post. Offender under the post with ball.
- Defender moves up post.
- Play 1 x 1 until attacker has scored 1 time. Defender always tries to be there.
- The post of the defender who got the goal against gets penalty.
- Defender goes back to own post.
- Passing
- 2 players in front of the basket
- Player 1 plays the ball to player 2
- Player 1 immediately goes after the ball to set up a pointer
- Possibly with defender and feint
- Also possible with rebound
3 per basket
- 1 shooter and 2 rebounders behind or to the side of the basket at 3 or 4 meters depending on level
- Of the 2 rebounders, 1 is attacker, 1 is defender: the one closest to the basket is the defender
- Shooter in front of the basket calls "yes", at that moment both rebounders may move towards the basket to take the correct position.
- 5 rounds, then switch positions.
Points of attention:
Pay attention to lining up attacker/defender in rebound, properly blocking out opponent
Pay attention to lining up attacker/defender in rebound, properly blocking out opponent
Variations:
- The one with the most rebounds starts shooting.
- Shooter goes to intercept and may pass to offensive rebounder for short chance if shot is wrong
- Player blue must get the ball to one of the 4 pawns.
- Player red must pre-defend.
- Player red must close ball line.
- Divide into two teams.
- Make two boxes around the basket so that good shots can be made from outside.
- Need 3 or 4 balls per game.
- Shooters stand outside the box and one rebounder per team stands in the box near the opponent's shooters.
Exercise:
- The shooters start shooting from outside the box to get to X number of goals as fast as possible.
- The rebounders catch the ball and play it to their fellow players in the other box.
- Which team will have scored X number of goals first.
Rules:
- Rebounders are not allowed outside the box, shooters not in it.
- The rebounder's job is to estimate as quickly as possible where all the balls are coming and how to get them to your teammates as quickly as possible.
