Korfball drills

1 attacker and 1 defender in front of the post.

Attacker starts 5-6 m from the post, attacker gets 3 goal attempts to score a goal.

If he succeeds, he switches to the passer and the defender stays. If he succeeds, the attacker becomes the defender, the passer becomes the attacker and the defender becomes the passer.

Player 1 starts at 7 m in front of the post, player 2 signals 1-2 m in front of the post.

Player 1 takes the walkthrough and moves to 7 m behind the post. Player 2 catches the ball and passes at 1-2 m behind the post.

Player 1 takes a walkthrough ball from behind the post and catches his own ball, player 2 moves to 7 m in front of the post and repeats the exercise.

  • There are 4 pilons in front of the post. 
  • 2 pilons of the same colour
  • These pilons are in a square. 
  • 1 player is under the post and 2 players are between the pilons. 
  • The 2 players between the pilons start with a light dribble towards the post.  
  • The player under the post names the colour of 1 of the 2 colours of pilons. 
  • The following actions are possible:
    1. The players run to the back 2 pilons turn around and sprint to the post and the first one takes a through ball. 
    2. The players run to the first two pilons and tap them and run back to the post and the first one takes a through ball.

  • 1 post less than number of shooters. 
  • As long as music is playing, players run in circles. 
  • When the music stops, they can take goal attempts. 
  • On each post a maximum of 2 attempts may be made. 
  • As soon as this is done. The attackers put the ball on the ground. 
  • Who scores first....
    • through balls
    • feint
    • shots
  • 2 posts facing each other.
  • Shooter with defender. 
  • May pass 1x before defender steps in. 
  • Then defender jumps in or allows shot. 
  • When a goal is scored, at a good rebound or at good step out, rebounder becomes attacker otherwise, the defender becomes attacker. 
  • This happens on the opposite post.
  • 3 people at the post. 
  • 1 versus 1 with shot, walk-through and short chance to score. 
  • After 30 sec, 1 of the attackers becomes the new defender. 
  • The attacker remains the same. 
  • This way the defender can close a full box for 30 sec and the attacker is well challenged.

You try to get to the highest level in the 1-1 as fast as possible. When you reach a level you will go straight on with another defender.
