Korfball drills

1. Place four pawns in a 7x7m square and let three players play together. One player is the hunter who wants to intercept. Play for 30 seconds, the interception is a point. Release them by either running towards or away from the ball, depending on their position. This depends on the position relative to the hunter, the distance to the ball and the available space to play in (feasible throwing distance and free space). Stop the game to suggest where to run. Teach the ball handler not to throw if the pass is risky (better no pass than a wrong pass). Sometimes a curve ball is needed, sometimes a tight pass. A mock pass can sometimes be useful. Slowing down, speeding up the running pace and changes in direction are the means of free running.

Exercise:
When the cubs can shoot, throw and catch, they can play a korfball game.

Join in with the ball-carrying side yourself to keep things going a bit and in the meantime, give instructions and encourage them.

Exercise:
Pairs, not too far apart, 1 ball per pair. Throw the ball over with your preferred hand (let them catch it with 2 hands). Pay attention to the following

- right leg in front (right throw=left leg in front, left throw=right leg in front)

- Hold the ball on the hand with spread fingers

- Start by holding the ball as far back as possible.

- Throw the ball with after pointing

- Step forward while throwing

Make 5 rows of hats, each row has its own colour.

Have the players jog between the hats. After about 10 seconds call out a color and the players must sprint to the hats with the correct color. The last player to reach the hat gets a penalty point. At 5 penalty points the player has to do 5 push-ups and then starts again at 0 penalty points.

Player 1 stands 3-4 m from player 2.

Player 1 throws with his right hand to the right hand of player 2.Â

Player 2 does the same (right to right).

Place the hats in a square with about 5 m between them.

Two players are the catchers, the rest move inside the square.

The 2 scapegoats can tap the other players with the ball. The catchers are not allowed to walk with the ball.

By throwing over the ball the taggers can tap the other players.

If you are tapped or outside the square you are finished and may leave the square.

Variation:

When players are out, they belong to the taggers instead of being out of the box.
