Korfball drills

• The attacker runs wide left/right and gets the ball on the outside hand.
• Try to catch and play back with one hand.
• On the 4th pass the attacker is going to take a shot.
• Swap after 2 turns.
• Emphasis on solid passes, and acceleration after re-playing.

• Team stands in a row at basket 1.
• Participant 1 starts shooting, then participant 2 starts shooting immediately.
• If participant 2 scores before participant 1 then participant 1 is off and goes to basket 2.
• Participant 2 joins behind.
• If participant 1 scores earlier, she goes to the back.
• Participant 3 joins the shooting. If she shoots before participant 2, then she joins at the back and participant 2 goes to basket 2.
• This game continues on all four baskets until there is a winner on basket 1.

• You may interfere defensively, but not knock the ball away.

• Scoring 40 through balls, the shooter catches the ball himself and 1 of the 2 others comes in for a chance. In case of a 4-pointer, the ball can be caught by another player.
• Score 15 dodge balls. When the ball is caught, the third player immediately makes an evasive move and is played. Timing is important.
• 20 distance shots from about 6-8 meters from the basket, again keep moving until you get the ball.

• This exercise is designed to let the players choose for themselves what they want to improve on.
• Which (improvement) goal, which they have set for themselves, do they want to improve here.
• As a trainer you can steer this by guiding the choice.
• For example: the exercise must have something to do with passing/shooting/attacking/looking etc.

• Set out a parcour of hats (= game board).
• Per pair of players a pylon is needed (or a water bottle/shirt).
• First exercise is the same for everyone, e.g. 20 balls. Then the game begins.
• Dice is the number of hats ahead.
• 1 through 5 are korfball drills, 6 = fitness task
• If you land on the same pylon as another duo, you may give them an extra assignment.
• Examples of korfball exercises:
  • walk-through balls
  • dodge
  • shots
  • penalty throw
  • 2 walk-through balls and then a penalty throw
  • pull-away balls
• Examples of fitness exercises:
  • Squats
  • Push-ups (possibly on knees)
  • Jumping jacks
  • Lunges, first stepping out with the left, then with the right.
  • Burpees

• Divide the team into 2 equal groups
• 4 poles
• Per group 2 poles to defend
• May score on the 2 poles of the other group

A small square around the basket. In this square, 2 players must continuously attack and pass. After each pass the player is in motion.

• 2 Run after passing. After 4 ball touches the shot follows and the other one catches it (shoot to score, not because you are free).
• 3 Crossing after passing.
• After each pass, the thrower crosses with the player who did not receive the ball and they swap positions. After crossing, the ball goes to one of the two and the other one catches it.
• 3/1 Same as above but make sure that, as soon as you receive the ball, you are ready to shoot. If you are in a good position and have caught the ball well, you may shoot, otherwise you play on and the next player shoots.
• 4 All of the above actions but now with a good rebound, but this one does not stay in position.
