Korfball drills

• Stand 4 feet in front of the basket and shoot for one minute.
• Count the number of goals per person.
• Then change persons.

Take 30 passed balls together to get warm

• Player 1 throws to an oncoming player 2,
• This player throws the ball to the cone where he came from, to player 3 and joins the other cone.
• In case of threes, the pair starts without the ball.

• The player with the ball plays the ball with two hands to the player at the other cone, runs after the ball and joins the players at that cone.
• A simple and recognizable exercise.
• Developing speed from the throw is a possible point of attention to keep these exercises attractive for older players.

• In pairs you take turns shooting from a stand of about 6-8 metres.
• You shoot 3x per turn, at least 1 must be hit, otherwise you walk 3x around the basket from the shot point.
• Who is the first to score 10 times.
• The one who does this in the fewest turns is the winner.
  • NB You can also use this exercise to test if there is progress in the shot percentage.

In short:

• Shooting exercise (-game) in which shots are made from different sides of the basket.

Organisation:

• Per basket one pair with one ball, or in case of lack of sufficient baskets 2 pairs with one ball each.
• At each basket, four pawns or other markers:
• 1 in front of and 1 behind the basket and 1 to the left and 1 to the right of the basket, always at about 6 metres distance.
• One of each pair starts under the basket.
• The other one's task is to score a goal as quickly as possible from each cone.
• After that, they will switch functions.
• Which pair will be quickest to complete their 'journey around the world'?

Variation:

• The distances can be made larger or smaller. Or: score 2 goals with each pawn.

Variation:

• Instead of shooting from standstill, you can also shoot from movement, or simply: take evasive balls.

• Filling in positions. In the 3v3 you are constantly filling in the function shot, pass or rebound.
• You can vary endlessly in this exercise.
• Do you play on the breakthrough, on the dodge, on the distance shot or do you look for it in small chances around the basket?
• The assignment can be: score a distance shot, a walk-through ball and a small chance.
• The defenders will change their tactics when one of the shots is ready.

• You are all in a row, the first 2 people get a ball.
• The intention is that the 2nd person in the row score earlier than the first stood.
• If that happens, the person who scored may join at the back and the person who lost may sit on the side.
• Does number 1 score first, he/she joins the back and gives the ball to the next person in line
• then he/she is number 2 and the one who was already busy becomes number 1

3 against 2

• Game over 2 baskets. Play continues until first pair has 3 goals.
• All other pairs stop immediately.
• In case of a tie, the first team to score a tie wins.
• At 0-0 stop.
• Winners to the left losers to the right.

• Make a circle shape of poles.
• Go with 2 under a pole. One stays under the basket and the other takes balls under each pole.
• Do this for 2 rounds and keep score.
• After two rounds the other team does the same and keeps his score.
• After 4 rounds the team with the total number of passed balls wins.

• Make a circle shape of poles.
• Go with a team of 2 under a pole. One stays under the basket and the other takes evasive balls under each pole.
• You do this for 2 rounds and keep score.
• After 2 rounds, the other of the team will do the same and also keep his score.
• After 4 rounds the team with the total number of hit dodge balls wins.

• Doubles,
• running around the circle of pawns.
• At the whistle you have to pass the ball as fast as possible.
• After scoring three times you may switch with the attacker.
• After that you pull away from the ball,
• If you score as declarer, you may remain standing,
• Otherwise you change with the taker.
