Korfball drill: quadruplets, one fixed pointer to the side

Inshort: catching and throwing in groups of four, with the focus on processing balls played from the side.

Organisation: see figure. The numbers 1 have a ball. After 1 or 2 minutes swap functions.

For beginning attackers: the ball must be placed in front of the runners.

a ) Number 1 plays to number 4 and runs in a straight line to number 3. Note that beginners tend to sneak towards number 4. Number 4 puts the ball back when number 1 is at the same height as he is, so that number 1 gets the ball from the side. Number 1 catches the ball and passes to number 3 who takes over (ball to number 4, run in the direction of number 2, receive ball back, pass ball to number 2 etc.).

b ) The declarators roll the ball, the runners must pick it up as quickly as possible (as it were) and pass it on.

c ) Handlers must pass the ball on high: the ball must be caught in the jump, and played on as soon as possible after coming down.

d ) Like c., but who can catch the ball in the jump and play it?
