Korfball drills

• You make a box, with an attacker in it, 
• the attacker must keep moving in the box, while a defender is following. 
• The other player is standing outside the box. 
• The attacker starts with the ball in his/her hands and throws it to someone on the side and the person on the side throws it back to the attacker and then throws it back to someone else standing on the side. 
• The defender tries to take the ball. 
• When the defender takes the ball, he throws it back you will try again
• The attacker always tries to run free and the defender tries to intercept the ball

• make 2 groups 
• the attack takes the ball from the trainers.
• When the defence has intercepted the ball, they  return it to the trainers. 
• When they have scored, the team gets a bonus and is allowed to take the ball back.
• 1 of the young trainers can act as referee to gain experience

2 children stand near a post. 1 attacker and 1 defender.

• The attacker may move around the post, towards the post and away from the post.
• The defender always stays with his back to the post and follows the defender.
• At a given moment, the attacker is given the ball by the trainer. The defender must then move directly towards the attacker and raise his hands.

In short: practicing various shooting variations in a fun competition form.

Organization: per group a post and a ball, the posts are preferably (but not necessary) arranged in a circle or rectangle. The number of people per group is less important (but all groups are about the same size).

• The first task for the groups is to score 10 goals. 
• When you have completed this assignment, the person who scored the last goal runs to the trainer to pick up the next assignment. 
• Which group completed all the assignments first?
• In the meantime, the trainer walks around encouraging or correcting where necessary. 
• He has a piece of paper with him with a row of assignments on it. When someone gets to get the next assignment, first ask which one has just been completed (this can vary quite a bit over time) and then give the next assignment. 
• An example list: 5 walk-through balls, 5 penalty throws, 5 4-meter shots, 5 walk-through balls from behind the post, 5 shots behind the post.

• Two players stand 7 meters in front of the post and eight meters apart. 
• A player with the ball under the post and a receiver slightly behind the post. 
• One player in front of the post takes the through-ball that is passed, after the other player in front of the post has received the ball.
• The ball is caught by the receiver. 
  • A1 becomes A2, 
  • A2 becomes A3, 
  • A3 becomes A4 and 
  • A4 becomes A1.

What can you see?

• The passer learns that the shooter can only take a through-ball if the throwing is calmly prepared, is thrown in front of the shooter and the ball is passed at the right height.
• The speed and trajectory of the shooter can be regulated by the speed of throwing, ball trajectory and ball speed.
• Learning to control problems such as timing requires a lot of repetition and sometimes adjustment of the distances used.
• The problems for the shooter, the starting position of the ball is different because the body is twisted for ball reception, lead to impure actions. Stay attentive to this.
• The action speed must be increased.
  
  
  Variant:
• Just like exercise 12, but the passer throws the ball to a shooter who dodges to a position diagonally behind the post. 
• There is a ball through the centre where the passer must consider two opponents, his direct opponent and the shooter's opponent, as they are not far from the ball line.
  
  
  Variant:
• The marksman makes a feint shot and passes the ball to the player below the post indicating a through-ball.

Create a box with an attacker inside.

• The attacker has to keep moving in the box while a defender is running.
• Someone always plays the ball.
• The defender looks at the ball and tries to catch it
• Every time the attacker catches the ball, someone enters the box.
• When the defender picks up the ball, he throws it back and tries again

• The ball is thrown in a circle.
• A child starts behind the person standing next to the person with the ball.
• The ball must be overtaken.
• The rest has to make sure that the ball is thrown over.

• Put 3 pilons in a triangle. 
• At pilon 1 and 3, there's one person. 
• Person at pilon 1 has a ball, person at pilon 3 runs to pilon 2 and runs back. 
• Person at pilon 1 throws the ball when he or she arrives at the pilon, then the person at pilon 1 runs to pilon 2 and back again and gets the ball when he/she arrives at pilon 1 again. And so on.

• One ball per groups of two/three. 
• The players pass until they reach a post. 
• At the post both players may shoot once. 
• Then they have to pass again to another post. 
• All groups just cross each other. 
• Whichever team to achieve 15 goals first wins(optional).

• 4 children are standing next to each other, about 5 meters apart.
• 1 child is going to do the exercise:
• Receives the ball at the first pilon, returns it to the player on the other side, and moves on to the second pilon and so on. 
• At the back pilon he returns with a full sprint.
• Then switch, everyone moves a place, number 5 does the exercise now. 
• Everybody has their turn. Possibly everyone could go 2-3x.

Piggy in the middle: 

• You're all standing in a circle and there's one piggy in the middle.
• Briefly repeat how to throw with two hands and how to throw with one hand. 
• During this exercise the throwing will be looked at, the good catching will be discussed later on. 

Variations: easy to difficult

1. throwing with 2 hands

2. throwing with 2 hands (with tag)

3. Throwing with 2 hands (with a tag and several piggies)

4. Throwing with 2 hands (but throwing with 1 hand is also allowed)

5. throwing with 1 hand 

6. throwing with 1 hand (with tag)

7.throwing with 1 hand (with a tag and several piggies)

Based on how goed the exercise is performed you can perform the variations in the exercise. 

How do you throw with one hand?

• It's important that the ball is on your hand behind your ear,
• your left foot is in front (if you're right-handed), 
• the ball goes past your ear towards the front, 
• the body weight goes from the back leg to the front and the wrist is folded, 
• after stretching it.

Let's practice: 

• the kids stand on a line and all have a ball. 
• Everybody throws with 1 hand (their favourite hand) and tries to throw as good as possible with that hand. 
• No distance has been agreed to yet.
• Later on, pilons are added so the children really have to throw a certain distance with the ball.

Variation: it is also possible to throw with the other hand

1. Repeat this with two hands

2. Throw with your favourite hand

3. Throw with your other hand
