Korfball drills

  • Make a square of pawns next to the baskets you have placed.
  • All players gather in that square.
  • Balls at the 2 baskets closest to the square. 2 tickers.
  • As soon as you are tagged, you leave the square and the players can score freely on the baskets.
  • Scored? Then the player can return.
  • Change quickly of tickers.
  • Make 2 teams of 4 players.
  • Hats!
  • Gather between the 4 baskets.
  • The attacking team gets the ball and can choose which basket to attack.
  • This is to encourage them to look for free space.
  • The other team follows, intercepts the ball?
  • Then they choose. Do this the first 5 minutes.
  • Then another variant.
  • Divide all players over 4 teams. Each team gets its own basket and must defend it.
  • If one team has the ball, they choose where to attack.
  • Two baskets facing each other.
  • Under each basket, a declarer with the ball.
  • The players in the middle, divided in 2 groups, line up opposite each other.
  • So that they can see both baskets. One row is attack, the other is defender.
  • The first two players in the row duel each other.
  • The duel starts when one of the attackers lets the ball bounce once.
  • The attacker can decide which basket to attack to.
  • The point of this exercise is to try to get free and score.
  • After one turn the attacker joins behind the defenders and the defender joins behind the attackers.
  • In between the attackers change.

In short: exercises in catching balls that bounce or roll at the right moment. This is to learn how to catch a ball as quickly as possible.

Organisation: One ball per pair.

  • The numbers 1 and 2 of each pair stand next to each other.
  • The trainer throws, rolls or bounces the ball a few metres away.
  • Number 1 and 2 have to get the ball, pick it up and pass it back as fast as possible.
  • The one who does this the fastest wins. After 5 times change.

  • The remaining players take shots, free balls and penalty shots in the meantime
  • while the other two are busy with the reflex training.



  • Warming up
  • 3min back and forth walk
  • 30 sec rest
  • 2 min back and forth walk
  • 30 sec rest
  • 3 min walk
  • Players stand in the field and try to pass the ball to teammates.
  • Defenders defend, but do not actively try to intercept.
  • Goal: Pass with one hand and step next to the opponent.
  • Free running and looking for space.
  • Has the ball been intercepted/failed 3 times? Swap.
  • Passed 8 times? Change.
  • Stand in a circle around a basket (4 children).
  • The child in front of the basket shoots the ball towards the basket, the other three girls must try to catch the ball.
  • The child who catches the ball may then shoot.
  • Goal: practise shooting and catching.
  • make 2 groups
  • the attack takes the ball out to the trainers.
  • When the defence has intercepted the ball, they first pass it back to the trainers.
  • When a goal is scored, the team gets a bonus and can take the ball back out.
  • When attacking, pay attention to good set-ups and the star shape to get free

The team divides into two groups. Then the two groups go on to score a series of all 5.

This includes:

  • 5x Drive-throughs
  • 5x shots
  • 5x free balls
  • 5x penalty shootings
  • 5x small chances
  • You make groups of 2 or 3.
  • You're going to shoot at the basket and when you've scored you shout YO,
  • and then turn with your group to the next pole.
  • So you go through who first has said 5 times YO has won
  • Everyone line up and go into the defensive stance backwards.
  • Left foot forward + left arm forward this you do alternate with right.
