Korfball drills

Practice with 4 players the free ball. Use 3 persons for the attack. Person 1 takes the free ball, person 2 and 3 pass. Person 4 defends the free ball on person 1.

1. pass under the basket
2. pass next to basket
3. Attacker moves away from the basket and shoots directly.

• 1 attacker throws the ball to the person in front of the basket then he shoots the ball when he catches the ball under the basket he then goes inside and takes a walkthrough ball finally he takes a short chance.
• Point count:
  • Shot counts 2x
  • Walkthrough counts 1x
  • Short chance counts 1x
• You can play this like this, for example, who is first to the 20 or
• 1min long and then look per basket who has the most points

! Form groups of 2 people per basket

Each group receives three cards. The cards are shuffled beforehand and the numbers 2 to 5 are taken from the packet. With the three cards they receive, the groups must get as close as possible to 31. The values of the numbers and pictures are shown below:

• Six = six
• Seven = seven
• Eight = eight
• Nine = nine
• Ten is ten
• Farmer = ten
• Wife = ten
• King = ten
• Ace = eleven

So nine + jack + queen = 29 points or ace + jack + queen = 31, but you can also get jack + jack = 30.5

When the players have completed a series, they may exchange one of their received cards for a new one, to get closer to 31. The trainer sets a timer and says stop when it rings. The team that is closest to 31 wins.

Series:

1. Pass balls: three goals in a row.
2. Short chance: four goals in total.
3. Distance shot behind the basket: two goals in a row (4/5 meters).
4. Penalty throw: three goals in a row.
5. Around the basket: four goals, one on each side of the basket (3 metres).

! Form two groups. The attacker receives a vest.

This is louging in a korfball way. One person is the attacker, she/he starts with one defender. Within a playing area she/he must try to get free. In front of the box is the attacker. She/he has to make sure the ball gets to the attacker in the box. The other players stand aside. If the attacker receives the ball without the defender intercepting, a defender comes on board.

• Running free
• Throw
• Contact

! Make 3 groups and let the players divide into person 1, 2 and 3. After two rounds, switch one person by.

1.

Form 3 teams near the basket. Person 1 stands 6 metres in front of the basket near the pawn, person 2 stands 6 metres behind the basket near the pawn. Person 3 stands under the basket as catcher. Person 1 starts with e.g. a pass, then goes back to the pawn. Person 2 takes a passing ball in the meantime, as person 3 has caught the ball. This is how you do all the exercises.

Exercises:

• Pass ball
• Pass ball right
• Dodge ball left
• Diverting ball past the basket

2.

The three teams are now positioned differently. The pawns are moved to the side of the basket, where a player stands near both pawns. The other player stands in front of the pawn at 4 metres from the basket. Person 1 and 2 stand near the cones and are playable as a passer. Player 3 stands near the pawns and determines his action. Player 3 must pass at least 2 times before he can take a shot. The shooter stays in front of the basket with the shot.

• First take the shot while person 3 is walking towards the ball, later only walk away from the ball and take the shot.
• If necessary, repeat behind the basket.

3 teams change 1 for 1

# 4 teams swap 2 by 2

- 2 groups of max 4. Distance between 2 groups is +/- 5 mtr

- 2 baskets/rings next to each other at 6 mtr from both groups. In the basket +/- 3 hats/buds etc.

- 1 pylon in a straight line opposite each group at 12 mtr

Each group takes one hat from its own basket, runs around the pylon at 12 mtr and puts the hat in the basket of the opponent. In this way they try to empty their own basket or they try to have less than the other team after e.g. 4 minutes.

VARIATION

- distance between pawns and/or basket

- time

Inshort: practise various forms of the shot in a fun competition format.

Organisation: each group a basket and a ball, the baskets are preferably (but not absolutely necessary) arranged in a circle or rectangle. The number of people 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 will have completed all assignments first?

The trainer walks around the room, encouraging or correcting the players. He has a piece of paper with a list of assignments. When someone comes to get the next assignment, first ask him which assignment he just completed (after a while this can vary considerably) and then give the next one. A list of examples: 10 walk-through balls, 15 penalty shots, 5 shots from 8 meters, 10 walk-through balls from behind the basket, 5 dodges next to the post on the right, 10 penalty shots, 10 shots from 3 meters behind the basket, 5 dodges next to the pair on the left, 10 shots from 6 meters. Everything is possible of course, a lot of momentum comes when the number of goals to be scored is kept small.

Per 2 teams both score a goal. When both score, move to the left to the next basket, regardless if the team next to you has already finished. Who is first back to his own basket and scores again.

2 for 2

• Game over 2 baskets. Play on until first 2 team 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.

1. 5 chances to score from close range, then across the field around the pilot and back. Again 5 chances to score from close range and back and forth around the pilot. Then blow the whistle to signal the substitution (time saving exercise).

2. Take balls from 8m onwards.

3. Take penalty throws (2,5m)

4. Shooting calmly from behind the basket (4m) from pilot to pilot (3m)

5. Shooting on the move at 6m from pilot to pilot (5m)

6. District shot 8m (left and right alternate) always start at the pilot (2m)

7. Turn around the basket for a short chance and start at the pilot (4m).

8. Quick goals

The organisation in the following exercises is that two players face each other. One ball per pair. The distance can be varied, but players should not practice at maximum distance. Do not let the players stand too 'stiff', they must be able to move freely and relaxed.

Exercise 1

Players throw the ball to each other with two hands and catch with two hands. Position at chest height. Pay attention to either throwing or catching, not both at the same time.

Variations: which pair can throw back and forth 25 times the fastest, who can pass the ball over the most without dropping it.

Exercise 2

As exercise 1, but pass the ball a little higher, not so high that you have to jump, so just above your head. Pay special attention to the catch and the position of the thumbs, a little closer together than in exercise 1.

Exercise 3

Like exercise 1, but the ball is played at knee height. Pay special attention to the pins, slightly closer together and pointing to the ground.

Exercise 4

Have the players stand a little closer to each other and bounce the ball over.

Exercise 5

Players alternately throw the ball high, low, with a bounce or at chest height.

Variations

The same exercises can be performed at a greater distance. A nice variation is to have the players start close to each other and after 3 good tosses take a small step further apart. After a while the players

they will get far apart and the maximum distance will be reached. Let players throw at most 3 times at maximum distance, certainly not more or further.

• Push-ups : 5x men's version
• Plank : 20 sec. Pay attention: do not sag in the hips, straight line, elbows under shoulders
• Jump squat 8x with weights
• Super man 10x note: no twisting in the hip, straight line, hands under shoulders, balance
• Seal 8x attention: keep arms and legs just above the ground
• Shoulder shift 5x arms next to body with weight, up to the shoulder, and then above your head and hold it for a while
