Korfball drill: running training

Organisation: The players all line up on one side of the pitch.

Before starting these exercises, first perform a good warming-up (see above) with stretching exercises. The sequence was demonstrated by Margriet Poiesz (who is both an athletics and korfball coach) during one of the in-service training sessions of the North district of the NKTV

Steigerungen: running to the other side, whereby the pace is gradually increased to near-sprint speed

Skipping: a form of knee lifting at a very high tempo. The torso is in running position and is certainly not hanging back. The feet are reaching for the ground. This exercise focuses on the front swing phase.

Heels / buttocks or heel strike in high tempo (exercise for the back swing phase). The knees hang down, the trunk is in the walking position

Walk to the other side with long jumps (exercise for the back swing phase). Pay attention to a powerful, long push off. In this exercise, the feet also touch the ground, as it were.
