Korfball drills

  • If you are tagged, give the ticker a hand and start ticking, until you get a big swing.
  • The catcher is allowed to bounce the ball.
  • If he wants to tag someone, he has to throw the ball to that person.
  • If he hits the ball, he is out.
  • Men and women separately by a basket, 1 defender, 1 attacker, 2 attackers.
  • The attacker changes players after 20 seconds in the 1 vs. 1 duel and thus faces a fresh attacker.
  • In one turn the attacker will face all three men or women.
  • Attention: this is a very heavy exercise!
  • Baskets in a square, gentlemen first under the basket with the ball.
  • Ladies in the middle.
  • After a shot or a walkthrough ball, the players must always go through the middle to the next post (players are not allowed to hit the same post twice).
  • The ticker tries to tap someone.
  • If he taps someone on the shoulder, the person has to hold his shoulder and start tapping.
  • Before you get tapped, you have to name a TV show.
  • Then you're free.
  • If you are tapped, you must stand with your legs spread and then the others can crawl under you.
  • Then you are free again.

In short:

  • Shooting exercise (-game) in which shots are made from different sides of the basket.


Organisation:

  • Per basket one pair with one ball, or in case of lack of sufficient baskets 2 pairs with one ball each.
  • At each basket, four pawns or other markers:
  • 1 in front of and 1 behind the basket and 1 to the left and 1 to the right of the basket, always at about 6 metres distance.
  • One of each pair starts under the basket.
  • The other one's task is to score a goal as quickly as possible from each cone.
  • After that, they will switch functions.
  • Which pair will be quickest to complete their 'journey around the world'?


Variation:

  • The distances can be made larger or smaller. Or: score 2 goals with each pawn.


Variation:

  • Instead of shooting from standstill, you can also shoot from movement, or simply: take evasive balls.
  • Players stand in different groups at the pole and get a shooting assignment.
  • E.g. score 3 times in a row without missing from 5 metres.
  • The player who has done this can come to the middle and say higher or lower with his row of cards.
  • This exercise is repeated until someone has finished his row of cards.
  • In case of a wrong guess, the card is replaced by a spare card.


  • Walking from line to line, trunk straight and with every step the knee should touch the ground.
  • This is done with a ball above the head and arms outstretched.
  • For more powerful athletes, this can be done with a heavier ball...
  • Stand with both feet on the Stability Trainer, halfway round,
    • Place it preferably 3 to 4 meters from the basket.
  • Now try to score as many goals as possible within a certain amount of time.
  • Sit on the floor with a ball in your hands.
  • Tuck your legs in so that you only have contact with the ground with your rear end
  • Now tap the ball from left to right as far as possible within a given time...
