Korfball drills

  • Stand with the team in a circle with one person in the middle.
  • From the outside the ball is played inwards.
  • When you pass, you run after the ball.
  • From the centre, run after the ball to the outside again
  • The ball must not hit the ground and is played around as quickly as possible
  • If it does get to the ground, the person who threw the ball will take a penalty throw
  • The rest of the team plays on

Variation:

  • Alternating the preferred hand with the non-preferred hand
  • Reduce or extend the distance to the centre.
  • fast balls or airballs.
  • with multiple balls






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

  • Organization: per group a basket and a ball, the baskets are preferably (but not necessary) arranged in a circle or rectangle.
  • The number of persons per group is less important (but all groups are about the same size).
  • The first assignment for the groups is: 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 assignments first?
  • The trainer walks around, encouraging, or correcting.
  • He has a piece of paper with him with a row of assignments on it.
  • When someone comes to pick up the next assignment, first ask which one has just been done (this can vary considerably over time) and then hand out the next assignment.
  • An example list: 10 walk-through balls, 15 penalty shots, 5 8-meter shots, 10 walk-through balls from behind the basket, 5 dodge balls next to the pole, 10 6-meter shots.
  • Everything is possible of course, a lot of momentum is gained if the number of goals to be scored is kept small.
  • 10 walk-through balls
  • 20 small oppertunities
  • 6 remote shots
  • 10 penalty throws
  • 1 backwards


  • There is one scapegoat without the ball and two players without the ball.
  • The ball is thrown over in a good position, who has the ball can be tapped without the ball.
  • The ball may be held for a maximum of ten seconds.
  • If the ticker has intercepted a ball, then that ball goes out of the game.
  • Are you tapped you go to the side when no 2 comes on the side does no 1 again.
  • Practicing throwing and releasing on the short and long line.
  • The declarer stands far from the basket. The archer stands in front of the box at the side of the declarer.
  • The archer walks up to the declarer (the short line), receives the ball and shoots.
  • The declarer becomes a shooter, the shooter walks to behind the basket, the catcher arrives at the position of the declarer, after the ball is thrown to the next declarer.


Variant:

  • The shooter chooses the long line after feinting towards the short line or basket.


  • Both variations can be trained with the opponent near the shooter, so that the declarer learns to judge when someone is free.
  • Dose the defender. When using a defender, the 2nd declarer (who in fact does nothing) can act as a defender.
  • The rotation after the exercise is: declarer becomes defender, defender becomes gunner, gunner becomes catcher and catcher becomes declarer (after a combination with a player).
  • Practicing throwing and releasing on the short and long line.
  • The declarer stands far from the basket. The archer stands in front of the box at the side of the declarer.
  • The archer walks up to the declarer (the short line), receives the ball and shoots.
  • The declarer becomes a shooter, the shooter walks to behind the basket, the catcher arrives at the position of the declarer, after the ball is thrown to the next declarer.


Variant:

  • The shooter chooses the long line after feinting towards the short line or basket.


  • Both variations can be trained with the opponent near the shooter, so that the declarer learns to judge when someone is free.
  • Dose the defender. When using a defender, the 2nd declarer (who in fact does nothing) can act as a defender.
  • The rotation after the exercise is: declarer becomes defender, defender becomes gunner, gunner becomes catcher and catcher becomes declarer (after a combination with a player).
  • Two players stand 7 metres in front of the basket and 8 metres apart.
  • A player with the ball under the basket and a receiver slightly behind the basket.
  • A player in front of the basket takes the through ball indicated from space, after the other player in front of the basket 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 handler learns that the shooter can only take a walkthrough ball if the throw is prepared calmly, thrown in front of the shooter and the ball is placed at the right height.
  • Walking pace and walking distance of the archer can be controlled by the throwing pace, ball path and ball pace.
  • 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 through ball is different because the body is turned to receive the ball, lead to unclean actions. Stay attentive to this.
  • The speed of action should be increased.


Variation:

  • As exercise 12, but the declarer throws the ball to a shooter who swings out to a position diagonally behind the basket.
  • There is a ball through the middle where the declarer from the space in game situation must take into account two opponents, his direct opponent and the opponent of the shooter, after all he is not far from the ball line.


Variant:

  • The shooter makes a feint and plays the ball through to the player under the basket who signals a through ball.
  • A defender behind the post, a declarator with the ball under the basket and a number of attackers at 3 metres in front of the basket.
  • The learning curve of the dodge ball is covered in these and following exercises.
  • The shooter at 3 meter receives the ball, his starting position is the same as for the shot from a standing position, a small spread.
  • Move the right leg slightly backwards, find the balance on that right leg by slightly pushing the left leg back.
  • From this balance, shoot at the basket.
  • Practise shooting on the right leg a few times, then shooting on the left leg.
  • Shooter becomes catcher, catcher becomes declarer and declarer rejoins the attackers.


Variation:

  • As previous exercise, but the ball is not thrown until the shooter crosses the left foot in front of the right foot (on a swerve to the right).
  • The archer has to find the rhythm of the pass to the right, receiving the ball, balancing on the right leg and stretching arms and legs properly for the aimed shot.
  • Foursome per basket
  • Attacker, catcher, shooter, worker
  • Ball starts at the declarator, plays the ball to the worker, who stands left in front of the basket near a pawn, shooter starts right in front of the basket but runs out to the pawn to the right, receives the ball and shoots.
  • Changeover shooter --> receiver --> handler --> worker --> shooter
  • In pairs, carry the ball across the field by throwing it into the run of the other player.
  • Variation with 1 defender, with 2 defenders.
  • You make 2 teams and you play with them butter cheese and eggs.
  • You have to put a ribbon with your color on the caps who has three in a row first wins.
  • If you are out of ribbons you can move your own color.


  • Player goes into pump-up position, with the ball in front of him.
  • Player leans on his left or right arm, with the other arm he will spin the ball around his supported arm, so 15, 20, 25,...depending on how good the player's condition is....

At the sound of the whistle the players have to do a task.

PART 1: HOOPS / POTS / BALLS

  • The last one to arrive and not finding a group to stand with does a small exercise.

    • 10x stretch jump,
