Korfball drills

  • Make a kind of tennis court with pawns, where there are 3 squares (the middle square is 'the net', this is about one meter wide).
  • In the two outermost squares stands a player.
  • The two players take turns with the ball.
  • They have to bounce the ball in the middle square, and try to bounce the ball in the other player's square.
  • In between they catch the ball, so you are not allowed to tap it!
  • Place a pawn at 2m, 3m, 4m, 6m and 8m distance from the basket.
  • Pairs at the basket, at each pawn shoot three times.
  • When you score a goal or after three missed shots you switch.
  • When you have scored, move one pawn further.
  • Which team reaches the 8m pawn first?

Each exercise is done for 1 minute per pair. When the minute is full, the exercise is completed.

  • Sideways to the top hat and then forward to the next top hat, then forward with backward cross pass through the rope ladder.
  • Sideways through the ladder, then a sprint to hat, backwards to next hat and skating through the ladder, holding each jump for 3 seconds.
  • Sprinting to the top of the flower, keeping your face one way.
  • Sitting down put the ball behind your head on the ground, feet stay off the ground. Sit and throw to the other.
  • 2 feet in the ladder, 2 feet right beside the ladder, slant right forward, 2 feet beside the ladder and then two feet left beside it, left hop, with 2 feet in each step, right hop
drawing strength and stability
  • Ball is in front of red. white moves up and down making it look like she is going to get the ball from red.
  • Blue sprints aside from the post and gets the ball from red.
  • Red sprints to the post to take the catch.
  • White comes to the spot of red, gets the ball and shoots.
  • Red catches and gives the ball to white and sprints out sideways.

drawing shot on the move from space
  • Passing position and rebounder under the basket, attacker in front: (if with 4, a defender will run on the long line and give passive pressure).
    • Declarer plays a moving striker, who comes out with the ball.
    • Outgoing attacker gets the ball back.
    • Attacker runs long and shoots. (Pay attention that you run clearly in 2 lines, often there is a tendency to run in 1 line).
    • After the shot, fall inside for a walkthrough ball with one hand.
  • Shot inside is 2 points, pass ball is 1 point.
  • Goal is to score 20 points.
  • When reaching 10 points, change direction.
  • Crucial is the passing, and the 'attacking' of the ball by the shooter.
  • Two of you are responsible for a good pass.
  • Series consists of 3 chances:
    • Start from free throw.
    • Then get the ball on a running action in front. (outer hand)
    • After transferring the ball to the other hand (wide steps) you pass to the ball carrier again.
    • Continue for a shot behind the basket.
  • Which team will score 20 times first?
  • Shooter at about 4 meters in front of the basket, 2 declarers each with a ball and each at one side of the post at +/- 3 meters:
    • Shooter runs wide and gets the ball on the outside hand, plays it back to the attacker with that hand.
    • Then he/she runs wide to the height of the other attacker, and again receives the ball on the outside hand.
    • Pass the ball again.
    • Then run wide again to the first spacer, and this time, you shoot when receiving the ball.
    • Repeat by starting again at the other initiator.
  • Turn after 2 shots.
  • You notice that you start shooting on both the left and right side.
  • Which basket scores first 15x.
  • 2 cones 5 to 6 metres from the basket, and the same distance wide apart.
  • Attacker under the basket with the ball (possibly rebounder).
  • Shooter in the middle of the 2 cones.
  • Lateral movement towards the cone.
  • Play by declarer.
  • When declarer shouts 'YES', he can shoot.
  • If declarer calls 'NO', you have to pass back and start over to the other cone where everything will be repeated.
  • Change every 2 shots.
  • Per basket 15x scoring.
  • Take turns taking 5 chances:
    • Shot from movement on right leg in front of the basket. (competition distance)
    • Idem on left leg.
    • Then take a through ball.
    • Take a short shot behind the basket.
    • Finish with a penalty throw.
  • The goal is to individually score at least 3 out of 5 chances (you finish the assignment despite everything).
  • Everyone has to succeed in this, if not we repeat the exercise and they get a running lane at the end.
  • If someone succeeds in scoring 5 out of 5, he/she can free one person who doesn't have 3 out of 5.
  • Exercise is done a maximum of 4 times (suicide with max 4 turnovers).
  • About 3 exercises with defender at 80%. (allow chance).
  • About 10 walk-throughs.
  • About 10 short chances (2-3m) on the move.
  • About 10 shots (5-6 m) on the move.
