Korfball drills

• All players line up.
• The first two players have a ball.
• Player 1 starts shooting, when he has shot, player 2 may also start.
• If 1 scores before 2, he may go to the back.
• If 2 scores before 1, 1 is out and must go to the side.
• The last two players must start at the same time and score 3 times.
• The one who gets 3 first wins.

• Player 1 is at 1 meter in front of the post and player 2 is in the catch.
• Player 1 gets two chances to score from 1 meter.
• If he succeeds, he can take a step back. There he gets another two chances to score.
• If he misses twice in a row it is player 2's turn.

Let's see who comes furthest.

• For one minute, one player is working
• That player stands at about 3/4 meter in front of the basket
• The receiver stands with the ball under the basket.
• The active player gets the ball and shoots, and then immediately walks to the back of the basket to shoot at 3/4 meter.
• Then shoot in front of the basket again, then to the back of the basket etc.
• After one minute, the active player changes from catch to shoot.

• All players stand in a circle.
• Player A throws the ball to player B, and then runs to player B's spot.
• Player B throws the ball to player C, and stands on the spot of player C.

Start in a small circle (close to each other) and make the circle bigger and bigger.

Can be done in 2 groups, which group can stand furthest apart without making mistakes?

• Put out a square of 20 by 20 with hats.
• In the middle put balls (1 less than the number of players)
• The players walk in circles around the hats
• At the whistle they run in and try to get a ball

When you have a ball you can try to shoot (penalty throw - distance) and if you score you have a point, at every new round one ball less in the middle. The players who don't get the ball keep running.

• Form 3 teams at the basket
• Person 1 stands 3 to 4 meters in front of the basket near the pawn.
• Person 2 will stand 3 to 4 meters behind the basket near the pawn.
• Person 3 stands under the basket as catcher
  
  
• Person 1 starts shooting, person 3 catches the ball and throws it to person 2.
• Person 2 shoots, person 1 catches and throws to person 3. Always change.
  
  

Exercises with distance shot, penalty throw and walkthrough.

Place a number of cones/caps 2 to 3 metres apart. Make two rows of cones and divide the team into two groups.

The exercise is quite simple. One pawn sprints and one pawn knees high. Go behind each other

Exercises:

1) Doubles: 2 players facing each other, 1 player walks from left to right, the other throws the ball, always playing on the outside hand. Catch ball, return same hand, walk to the other side. Change function after a few times.

2) As 1 but player takes ball over, i.e. catch right hand, pass to left hand and play with it, walk to left, catch with left hand, pass to right hand and play with it etc. footwork

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).

Pawns set up at 1,3,5 metres

The first assignment for the groups is: make 10 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. Here's an example: 10 walk-through balls, 15 penalty shots, 5 shots from 8 meters, 10 walk-through balls from behind the basket, 5 dodgeballs next to the post, 10 shots from 6 meters. Everything is possible of course, a lot of momentum comes from keeping the number of goals to be scored small.

Tasks:

• 6 scores from 2,5 meter in front of the basket
• 6 scores from 1 meter in front of the basket
• 6 scores from 6 meter in front of the basket
• 6 scores from 2,5 meter behind the basket
• 6 scores from 1 meter behind the basket
• 6 scores from 6 meters behind the basket

Inshort: simple catching and throwing exercise with a lot of running for foursome.

Organisation: The four players form a square (distance about 10 metres, depending on the level), one of the four has a ball. If there are people left over, one or more foursomes can be formed and stand in a pentagon. Almost all parts of the exercise described above can be practised in this form of organisation.

The procedure is as follows:

Player A throws the ball to B, runs after him, gets the ball back and throws to C. He gets the ball back, plays to D, gets the ball back and throws to B over quite a distance, and finally takes his original place again. In the meantime B has already started his round. When everyone in every foursome has had 3 turns the next exercise comes.

Variations:

1. The players walk the other way.
2. The attackers move slightly to and fro.
3. Which foursome will finish fastest? (everyone has to walk three times).
   • Make sure that the distances do not suddenly get smaller!

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. 10 goals (whoever is the fastest) first team to win twice
2. 10 penalty shots in a row
3. shot 3 times in a row.
