Korfball drills

Note the movement of catching with one hand.

Groups of two stand at a distance of 4 metres from each other.

A pole with a hat behind it about 2 meters away.

• There are two people standing near the hat,
  • an attacker and a defender.
• Under the basket is a declarer and in front of the basket is a shooter.
• The attacker has to make sure that he blocks the defender from the hat.
• The archer keeps on shooting (indicated by the declarer) until the defender catches the ball, then the ball is exchanged.

Set-up:

Three poles in a triangle from each other. On the left of each pole a hat and in the middle a hat. Under each pole one person with ball. The rest by the hat in the middle.

Exercise:

Run from the middle to a hat. There you receive the ball from the passer, play it back and make a run through. The person who runs through stands under the post and the bitch goes to the middle to turn.

• There are all groups of 2 made.
• The groups get per pair a ball and have to throw the ball over.
• When they do this, they have to run around the pole, so they are not allowed to pass the ball while standing still.
• Running doesn't matter in this exercise.
• Running is jogging, and they have to keep an eye on their partner.

• The group is divided over the poles in groups of 2 or 3.
• Practicing shooting
  • Which group at a distance of 5 meter will be first to score 6 times.
• Practicing with dunkers
  • Which group will be first to score 12 passes.
• Practicing with short chances
  • Which group will be first to score 9 short chances.
• Practicing penalty throw under hands
  • Which group will be first to score 12 penalty shots under hands.
    
    

• We have poles, cones or caps placed 8 metres apart in a square.
• The team divides itself over the poles, cones or caps.
• Then they sprint 100% for a few seconds.
• They start with:
  • Sprint for 15 seconds.
  • Rest 1 minute.
  • Sprint for 30 seconds.
  • 1 minute rest
  • 45 second sprint.
  • Rest 1 minute.
  • Sprint for 60 seconds.
  • Rest 1 minute.
  • Sprint for 75 seconds.
  • Rest one minute.
  • Sprint for 60 seconds.
  • Rest one minute.
  • 45 seconds of sprinting.
  • Rest 1 minute.
  • 30 seconds sprint.
  • Rest 1 minute.
  • Sprint for 15 seconds.
  • END

• Suicide runs are short sprints meant to improve speed, strength and agility.
• To do a suicide run on a field you lay down four markers.
• See for yourself which distances you use/need.
• Then you tap the first line, run back to the starting point, tap the second line, run back to the starting point etc.
• When you have tapped all four lines you will have a korfball pole at the end of the suicide run where you have to take a penalty throw.
• You can also choose something else.
• Oo you can also choose to run them backwards.
• Divide the people into three groups.

• the chaos game is fun for younger children, but can also be played with older children.

• At the Chaos game the goal is that each child has a ball, and that there are 3 or 4 poles (also depending on the number of players)
• in a row.
• Each player starts at the same pole,
• There is a countdown and then they all start shooting,
• If they score, they may move one pole,
• If they don't score, they remain at the post until they have scored.
• You can decide beforehand whether they should pass each pole 1, 2 or 3 times, depending on the level.
• Variation: you can use cones to mark a circle outside which the players have to shoot,
• They are only allowed to enter the circle to catch the ball.
• The materials below are for 4 people (hat = pawn)

• 1 shooter in front of the basket.
• Underneath the korfball attacker and defender.
• The attacker takes position and the defender makes it difficult.
• Catch the ball under pressure.
• Change after 3 shots.

• Each group has a basket and a ball, the baskets should preferably (but not necessarily) be arranged in a circle or rectangle.
• The number of persons per group is less important (all groups should be about the same size).
• The first assignment for the groups is: make 10 walkthrough ball goals.
• When you are done, the creator of the last goal goes to the trainer to get the next assignment. Which group has completed all assignments first?
• The trainer has a piece of paper with a list of assignments.
• When someone comes to get the next task, first ask him which task he just did (it can vary a lot after a while) and then give the next task.
• List:
  • 10 passing balls,
  • 15 penalty shots,
  • 5 shots from 4 meters,
  • 10 walk-throughs from behind the basket,
  • 10 shots from 3 meters behind the basket.

• All players line up.
• The first two players have a ball.
• Player 1 starts shooting, when he has shot, player 2 may also start.
• If 1 scores before 2, he may go to the back.
• If 2 scores before 1, 1 is out and must go to the side.
• The last two players must start at the same time and score 3 times.
• The one who gets 3 first wins.

• Shooting exercise in which the players are divided into pairs over the posts.
• There is a defender behind the post and an attacker in front at 8 metres.
• All attackers make a shot until he sits.
• The pole that scores the fastest gets a point.
• Immediately after that the attacker and offender switch positions.
• Continue this way until you have 10 points.
