Korfball drills
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- Attacker and defender ready for the post. Offender under the post with ball.
- Defender moves up post.
- Play 1 x 1 until attacker has scored 1 time. Defender always tries to be there.
- The post of the defender who got the goal against gets penalty.
- Defender goes back to own post.
- Passing
- Start with 1 leg in the ladder, other leg in the ladder and then next to it the legs alternately out. Rhythm in-in_out-out.
- A defender walks backwards in the opposite direction. After the ladder, take a through ball.
- Jump forward over the hurdle with both legs and then sideways over the other hurdles, make a sideways move to the right, get the ball and score.
- Go through the speed ladder with a ski move, at the end get the ball and shoot directly.
- 2 hat forward, 1 hat back, make a run-through move, get the ball and play the declarer, who steps out.
- 5 sprint back and forth between the two hats 2x, make a penalty throw.
We work with 3 or 4 teams and each exercise lasts 4 minutes.
- Declarant at the pole with ball.
- Place the hurdles in front of the pole such that the nearest hurdle is 3 meters from the pole
- Jump over the first hurdle and sideways over hurdles 2 and 3, then make a swerve to the side
- Get the ball and score 10x right and 10x left
- Work with 3 or 4 teams per basket.
- The players move in and out continuously from 5 meters.
- The player with the ball chooses 1 of the outrunning people and throws the ball in tight.
- The player who gets the ball shoots, the declarer catches off.
- The ball is played out and the others make in/out moves again. Now another is played on, who shoots immediately.
Goal of the exercise is: continuous movement, being ready to shoot and tight passing.
3 per basket
- 1 shooter and 2 rebounders behind or to the side of the basket at 3 or 4 meters depending on level
- Of the 2 rebounders, 1 is attacker, 1 is defender: the one closest to the basket is the defender
- Shooter in front of the basket calls "yes", at that moment both rebounders may move towards the basket to take the correct position.
- 5 rounds, then switch positions.
Points of attention:
Pay attention to lining up attacker/defender in rebound, properly blocking out opponent
Pay attention to lining up attacker/defender in rebound, properly blocking out opponent
Variations:
- The one with the most rebounds starts shooting.
- Shooter goes to intercept and may pass to offensive rebounder for short chance if shot is wrong
3-counts per pole. Rebound, follow-through, shooter.
- The shooter gets the ball played to her and shoots from about 6 yards out on motion
- As soon as the passer thinks the ball can be caught, she goes for the breakthrough and takes a through ball
- After the follow-through ball, the shooter, keeping her player busy, i.e. on the move, is played to and shoots
- As soon as the passer thinks the ball can be caught, she goes for the breakthrough and takes a follow-through ball
- After 3 shots, there is a change of positions - shooter becomes rebounder, rebounder becomes passer and passer becomes shooter.
- Which 3-team scores 25x first?
- Pairs with ball, multiple baskets.
- Red player runs in gets the ball, white player runs past him/her and gets the ball back.
- Red player then runs to the basket for a through ball.
- Then to the second post, with the same ball handling.
- The second pair starts when the first pair has passed the first post.
- Score 30 through balls per pair.
- The ball is in front of the post by white.
- The red player runs out, gets the ball and shoots directly.
- Red catches off, plays to white and runs out, gets the ball and shoots.
- Blue catches off, plays to white, runs out, gets the ball back and shoots.
- etc.
- After 5 shots, everyone changes positions. Everyone 3 times declarer.
Work with 3 or 4-person teams:
- Make 15 through balls without missing
- 20 distance shots on the move, maximum 2 shots in a row.
- 15 dodge balls with double effort, so pass back and dodge again, the server gives light pressure on the shot.
- 20 step-off balls behind the basket, indicating from a breakthrough, then the rebounder steps off and shoots. Step on time, not too early.
- 15 penalty throws without missing. Take them alternately.
- 20 shots from standstill at 3/4 yards; grab the focus.
