Korfball drill: exercise in trios

Suitable for the following techniques: attack shoot

Exercise in trios

In short: practicing the standard forms of shooting with three teams near the basket.

Organisation:
  • Each team has a basket and a ball, the exercises start with one person under the basket (with the ball) and two persons in front of the basket.
  • After the shot, the ball is passed to the next player, who has to catch the next ball and pass it to the next player.
  • After passing the ball, another round of shooting follows.
  • If necessary, the exercise can also be done with four people, the players just get a few less turns.
  • If necessary, use a pylon for each basket.

  1. Play passing balls from about 10 metres in front of the basket.
  2. The same, but now overhead.
  3. As 1., but the ball is played forward from under the basket first.
    1. The shooter returns the ball to the receiver under the basket and runs after it to take the ball.
  4. Shooting from a standstill from a distance of approx. 8 metres (again, after the shot, run to the basket to catch the next ball).
  5. Shooting after a move to the left or right from about 7 meters distance.
  6. Take evasive action on the left (start at the pylon about 10 metres before the basket, at 5 or 6 metres before the basket make a sharp left hook).
  7. As 6., now over the right side.
  8. Take penalty shots.
  9. As 4., but after the distance shot, the shooter takes another walkthrough ball.
  10. The shooter threatens with a walkthrough, but stops very abruptly at about 3 metres before the basket (hoping that the defender will 'shoot through'), gets the ball and finishes the chance.
  11. The shooter makes an evasive move (over left, or right), receives the ball, but instead of shooting, he takes a walkthrough ball.
    1. There are various ways of putting the ball inside
      1. with the 'outside hand' - i.e. in a dodge to the right with a right-handed stretch -,
      2. with a bounce,
      3. by an overhand or an underhand sling throw,
      4. or by transferring the ball to the other hand with a left-handed stretch throw.
    2. There are several factors that determine which method is best, a good korfball player will need to master several ways.
  12. The shooter makes an evasive move, pretends to receive the ball (possibly the attacker makes a feint), but immediately takes a through ball afterwards (so like c., but without the ball).
  13. The shooter takes a walk-through ball, after a few metres he suddenly sidesteps.
    1. However, the dodge is not continued: there will be a walkthrough anyway.
    2. I call it the Lucas move, after Albert Lucas who had a lot of success with it.
  14. Numbers 1 and 2 under the basket, number 3 (who has the ball) in front of it. Number 1 starts away from the basket, receives the ball, makes a half turn and shoots (= starting away from the basket).
    1. Number 2 catches, plays to number 1, takes off, receives the ball back, makes a half turn and shoots.
    2. Number 3 intercepts etc.
  15. The shooter makes an evasive move to the right, receives the ball, but returns it to the receiver under the post and runs straight to the basket himself (i.e. in the direction he just came from).
    1. He receives the ball back and shoots
