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.
drawing Running rebound
  • 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
drawing Chasing square
  • The blue player has the ball and places it on the red player who runs to a hat
  • The red player catches the ball with one hand and plays it back with the outer hand to the adjacent hat
  • He/she now catches the ball with the other hand and plays it back to blue. He/she does this at all six hats
  • Then he/she taps the blue player and goes for a through ball indicated from behind
  • After 5x change of position
  • The 2-team that scores the first ... scores goals, wins.
Putting the hats further apart requires more running and throwing.
With a time limit, the intensity can be increased.

drawing left and right handed catching and throwing with through ball
  • The baskets are in a triangle about 10 meters apart.
  • From the basket you run to the next basket and you get the ball indicated from the basket opposite the running line.
  • In the drawing example, blue indicates white, white indicates red and red indicates blue.
  • Which 3-team scores 20x first ?
  • The first player runs, the second player indicates, the third catches and indicates the next again. and so on.
drawing Walk-through ball chaos
  • Score 15 through balls without missing
  • Red plays to white and runs away diagonally to the back.
  • White plays back to red who shoots.
  • Blue catches, who then plays the ball back to white.
  • White plays through to red and blue pulls away diagonally at the posts, gets the ball from red and makes a shot.
  • White catches off, plays to red, and so on.

  • Score 15 swerve balls, keeping all 3 moving all the time. When the ball appears to be in possession of the rebounder, the next shooter steps away.
  • score 20 distance shots from movement and do this from all sides.
drawing Shot variations with triples
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
  • The focus in this exercise is angles running, many players run in corners, making it easy for opponents to keep up.
  • The idea in this exercise is to force angular running lines. A lot of explosiveness is required from the players, so the exercise is quite tough.
  • Place 4 markers in front of the basket, angled towards the basket about 3/4 meters away. A declarer stands under the basket and player goes x number of goals/minutes/actions running lines using the markers.
    • Multiple combinations are possible. Should there be a third player, he/she can rest or possibly do a strength exercise such as Jumping-jacks, sit-ups, planking.

  • Start pawn behind -> forward -> left -> right -> player comes to shot.
  • Start pawn in the back -> forward -> to the right -> to the left -> player makes a shot
  • Start pawn in the back -> forward -> to the right -> to the left -> to the right -> player reaches shot
  • Start pawn in the back -> forward -> to the left -> to the right -> to the left -> player reaches shot
  • Start pawn in front -> To the back -> To the left -> To the right -> Player makes a shot

  • You can possibly extend the exercise with a long line, through a marker 3/4 meters behind the basket. After a running combination, above, the player runs to the back and takes a shot. Mirrored is also possible.
drawing Explosive swerve
  • We work in threesomes
  • Two players under the post and one halfway up the box.
  • Play the ball forward and sprint after it.
  • The player in front throws the ball to the second player under the post and runs sideways.
  • The ball is placed on the running player and he/she shoots.
  • Under the post is caught and the shooter there becomes second player.
  • We score 10x left turn and 10x right turn.
  • The pace of the exercise should be high to reach competition level.
drawing Shot after lateral movement
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.
