Korfballexercise: journey around the world shooting game

Objective

• Shooting exercise where shots are taken from different sides of the korf.

Organisation

• Per korf, one pair with a ball, or if there are not enough korfs, two pairs each with a ball.
• At each korf, place four cones or other markers: one in front, one behind, one to the left, and one to the right of the korf, each approximately 6 meters away.
• From each pair, one player starts under the korf. The other player scores a goal from each marker. Then they switch roles.
• Which pair completes the 'journey around the world' the fastest?

Variations

• The distances can be adjusted as desired, or two goals can be made from each marker.
• Instead of shooting from a standstill, shots can be taken on the move, or dodge shots can be used.
• Two pairs work per korf. The two shooters must score twice together at each marker, regardless of who scores the goals.
• Roles are switched after four times two goals.

Execution

• The exercise encourages shooting from different positions around the korf.
• It is important to shoot accurately, especially since shooting from the side or back is different due to the angle of the korf.
• Players may be noisy at first but quickly become focused and significantly improve their shooting skills.
