Korfball drills
- 4 v 4 on badminton court with post in middle
- Practice the passing exercise but now have choice of which way, still need to make contact first
- If you have a shot, take it, if not pass to someone else, include long diagonal, emphasise contact first
- If there is a shot going up and you are nearest, get to post to collect, shooter to follow shot in
- After a shot, reset and go again, swap roles after three shots or five minutes which ever comes first
- Timing of pass - do not go straight to the end, need to build this up one piece at a time, several moving parts to master individually
- Make contact, step out, pass into space, receiver watches and moves to receive at last moment. Defenders remain static, but arms in motion. Reset and pass back the other way. After two minutes swap attackers and defenders, Are you getting better at timing reception of pass?
- Repeat exercise but now defenders lose use of arms but can move bodies to make this more of a challenge, same reset and repeat and change after two minutes
- Final variation, defenders now try to stop pass and stop reception, same reset and repeat and change after two minutes
