Korfball drills

  • You divide the square in four by the basket.
  • You put 1 child in each section.
  • Let every child make a diagonal movement.
  • So towards the basket and then make the movement towards the other compartment.
  • Run
  • Stairs
  • Run
  • Sprint
  • Through the hoops
  • Run


  • two teams side by side,
  • whoever gets 5 goals first gets to vote the other one off
  • A pair has 1 ball.
  • One person throws the ball in the air
  • and the other tries to catch it as high in the air as possible.

In brief:

  • 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 left and 1 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 from every pawn as quickly as possible.
  • After that, they will switch functions.
  • Which pair will be quickest to finish 'the trip around the world'?
  • The penalty throw can be practiced immediately in its entirety.
  • The pressure of having to score at the penalty box can be imitated in different ways:
    • Scoring ten in a row, counting again if missed.
    • Which group will have the highest number of penalty throw, score 2 points and miss 1 point,
    • who is the first to have 20 points,
    • which player scores the most in 10 attempts.
  • This exercise is all about technique.
  • Also in the game only the technique is decisive whether or not a player scores.
  • There is no time factor or defender.
  • Set up the exercises so that it is not the time that is important, but the efficiency.
  • 6 players, each under one post and the remaining players are going to run on/out/take short chances.
  • First to the middle where there is a cap and then to a pole that is free.
  • 2 players at 1 pole.
  • Player 1 throws to player 2 comes next to him and shoots.
  • Player 2 runs to the pole to catch the ball at once throws out to player 1 comes alongside and shoots. Etc.
  • This game is played with 2 people.
  • You are opposite each other.
  • If you win with rock paper scissors then you must try to run away from the other if you are at a certain line you are safe.
  • If you lose, you must try to tap the one who runs away.

In short: practice various forms of the shot in a fun competition format.

Organisation:

  • Each group has a basket and a ball, the baskets should preferably (but not necessarily) be arranged in a circle or rectangle.
  • The number of people per group is less important (all groups should be about the same size).


The first assignment for the groups is:

  • score 10 goals with a walkthrough.
  • When you are done, the creator of the last goal goes to the trainer to get the next assignment.
  • Which group will have completed all assignments first?


The trainer walks around in the mean time,

  • giving encouragement or correcting here and there.
  • He has a piece of paper with a list of assignments.
  • When someone comes to get the next assignment, first ask him which assignment he just did (it can vary a lot after a while) and then give the next one.
  • A sample list:
    • 10 passing balls,
    • 15 penalty shots,
    • 10 shots from 5 meters,
    • 10 through balls from behind the basket,
    • 5 dodge balls next to the post,
    • 5 shots from 4 meters behind the basket,
    • 5 small chances with 1 hand.
    • Everything is possible of course, a lot of momentum comes when the number of goals to be scored is kept small.
  • 3 lines a few meters apart.
  • Each line has a name (apple pear or banana).
  • The children start on a line.
  • Trainer calls out a fruit and the children must run to that line as fast as they can.

In brief:

  • Practicing various forms of the shot in a fun competition format.


Organisation:

  • Each group has a basket and a ball, the baskets are next to each other.
  • The first assignment for the groups is: score 10 goals.
  • In the meantime the trainer walks around all over the place, giving encouragement or correcting here and there.
  • He has a piece of paper with a list of instructions.
  • If someone comes to get the next assignment, first ask which assignment has just been completed (this can vary considerably over time) and then give the next assignment.


Tasks:

  • Make 10 goals, in front of the basket.
  • Throw over 15 times with 2 hands.
  • Scoring 8 goals, behind the basket
  • Pass the ball 15 times with 1 hand.
