Korfball drills

  • Half of the group is attacker, blue, and the other half is defender, red.
  • The attackers stand on the sideline and the defenders stand about 1 meter in front of them.
  • The attackers run forward and try to get past the defender at half speed.
  • The defender follows the attacker's every move while running backwards with them.
  • Once across, the attackers and defenders switch roles.
drawing Defensively running backwards
Building up to offensive positions to fall back on when creativity fails for a while.
Blue = static starting positions

Setup:
  • Pass deep from front field
  • Pass laterally into backfield + rebound run in
  • Pass deep from backfield + run in support
  • Pass passed to incoming support + attacking action by both strikers
  • Support plays free striker + runs out into space
  • Offloaded striker shoots
Once static has been mastered, move to dynamic. Agreement is that support follows immediately after rebound. The rest can be filled in freely with the variations below:
  • Support runs around the block instead of cutting into it.
  • Support does not shoot, but plays shadow striker to shoot. 7a.
  • Offloaded striker does not shoot, but plays run-out striker to shoot. 7b.
  • Played run-out support does not shoot, but shadow striker runs into support and takes over function + attack action strikers and shoot. 8.
  • Played run-out support does not shoot, striker runs into support and takes over function + shadow striker connects with run-out support + strikers attack action and shoot. 9.
  • ... innumerable variations to think of

  • Player 3 runs to the post.
  • Player 4 goes over block, player 3 to the pointer.
  • Player 1 throws the ball to player 2.

Everyone takes 2 penalty throws.
  • If you miss, you have to run across the width of the field with the whole team.
  • If you miss 2 times, you must run back and forth with the whole team.
drawing Penalty throws
  • Divide the group into groups of 3.
  • Give each group 5 jars in 5 different colors.
  • 1 player goes to work -red, 1 player indicates -blue, 1 player coaches -white.
  • Player red starts running action from pot to pot in slalom and takes a run-in.
  • Player white coaches player red and indicates which jar player red should go back and start again, again in slalom.
  • If player red scores from a color pot, player white takes the pot away.
  • Exercise continues until every color pot is scored.
drawing Warming up with color jars
  • Player 1 stands by the pawn
  • Player 2 comes to offer next to player 1 and doubles once
  • Player 2 then runs deep
  • Player 1 goes after his own ball and makes a handover
  • Player 2 takes a through ball
  • Exchange after X chances
  • Scoring a total of X goals
drawing Passing, running with through ball and deep line
  • There are 4 pawns in a square well around the basket.
  • There is already someone imaginary standing as a rebound, so there are 3 men in the front field at a pawn.
  • The players must always connect so that there is someone playable on 2 sides.
  • After 3/4 passes someone is sent deep and the 3rd person comes in front of the rebound and a through ball is taken.
  • Player 1 keeps moving in the meantime and gets the ball to shoot.
drawing 3-1 to chance
  • Players stand in a large circle.
  • The ball must always be passed to the neighbor.
  • The direction of passing can be clockwise or counterclockwise.
  • More and more balls are added.
  • When the ball hits the ground, players must walk to the edge of the field and back again before being allowed to continue.
  • The ball must be thrown with the left hand to the left and with the right hand to the right.
  • If it is too easy, one-handed catching is possible if necessary.
drawing Warming up - passing
Attacker uses feints to get past the defender.
  • There are 6 players between the pawns.
  • There must be 1 hole per row of pawns.
  • The other players try to use feints to find the hole.
  • The defenders may only defend widthwise and try to tap the attackers.
  • If you get tapped, you have to start over.
  • If the attackers reach the other side, they get 1 point.
  • After 5 points, the game is switched.
  • The game can be made easier by adding fewer defenders.
drawing Feint attack
  • Player 1 is the declarer, player 2 is the outlier.
  • Player 1 stands with the ball under the post.
