Korfball drills

The attackers are in front of the post, at around 6 m distance. 

The shooter runs in the direction of the post, stops at the penalty spot and turns right. 

At that moment, the passer throws the ball. The shooter makes a dodge ball. 

• The shooter is allowed one step to find his balance. The left leg acts as a playing leg to keep balance.
• The players learn from the examples given. 
• As a trainer you can perform the exercise yourself, in slow motion to show the direction of the balance. 

• Practice this movement to the left as well.

• Variant:

• After the dodgeball, the shooter takes a though-ball. 

• The catcher catches the ball again. 

• Let the shooter move after the dodgeball before passing the though-ball. 

• This can be done in the same direction as the dodgeball, or in the opposite direction. 

• Make sure that you move further away from the post.
  
  
  Variant:

• The dodgeball becomes a feint shot and is converted into a through-ball. 

• Converting the smooth movement of the shot into a pass to the inside requires more control of balance. 

• Throw the ball into the post with one hand.
  
  
  What can you see?

• The coordination of catching the ball and balance is a problem.

• The shooter determines the coordination by a rhythm, sometimes with the help of a hink.

• Shooters find balance on their left leg after a dodgeball to right.

• This makes turning to the post for the shot difficult.

• The dodgeball is an option in the game because a through-ball attempt can be aborted when the defender keeps up well. In time, the dodgeball becomes an independent way to get free.
  
  
  Variant:

• The passer acts as a defender to put pressure on the shooter. 

• After the move to the right, the passer gives the ball and tries to block the shot.

• The shooter goes for the shot.
  
  
  Variant:

• Same, but the shooter has the alternative of throwing the ball to the second passer present in the post area and setting up a though-ball.

• The defender still goes for the block.

• It has already been described how the defender can be phased.

• Throwing to get someone to score
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Practice throwing and releasing on the short and long line. 
• The passer stands away from the post. The shooter stands at the front of the box at the side of the passer. 
• The shooter runs towards the passer (the short line), receives the ball and shoots. 
• The passer becomes the shooter, the shooter runs behind the post, the shooter arrives at the passer's position, after the ball has been thrown to the next passer.

  
  

  
  

  Variant:

• The shooter chooses the long line after making a feint in the direction of the short line or post.

• Both variants can be trained with an opponent close to the shooter, so that the passer learns to estimate when someone is free. 

• Dose the defender. When using a defender, the second passer (who in fact does nothing) can act as the defender. 

• The rotation after the exercise is: passer becomes defender, defender becomes shooter, shooter becomes second passer and second passer becomes passer (after a combination with a player).
  
  
  
  
  

• 3 minute rounds at 50%, 
• 2 min at 70% and
•  last minute at 100%

Warming up.

* Start dribbling from the middle line.

* Place pilons on the right and left and always call out the colour. They have to sprint to that colour.

* Alternate this with jumping, turning and going through the knees.

• One rebounder, one defender and one attacker.
• 30 sec attacks...if attacker can score, he becomes rebounder at the next post.
• If not, he becomes the defender.
• Rebounder becomes attacker all the time...

• 2 x 2 benches on top of each other lengthwise, 15 hoops small, 2 benches in a row
• Hopping over high benches with hands on the bench
• Jumping across low benches
• Jumping into hoop with 2 legs --> hoops further and further apart

• Make pairs with a ball. 
• Keep the hands up with the ball positioned between the hands of the two people, 
• Ball is clamped by the two of them. 
• The pair puts tension on their calves.
• The knee is held high, the calf of the other leg remains under tension, switch knees and keep switching. 
• Until the trainer says that you can start a sprint. 
• The players turn around and sprint to the end of the field.

  
  

• Someone has two colour pilons in his hands.
• The same two colour pilons are to be found on the floor.
• 1 person walks in a straight line to the person holding the two pilons. 
• The person that's holding the pilons, keeps them behind their back. 
• Whenever the the person comes close, he/she shows 1 of the pilons. 
• The colour that's been shown, is the colour to where the person has to sprint.
