Korfball drills

  • Everyone stands at his/her pawn 5 meters from the basket.
  • One player has the ball and shoots.
  • The others engage in the rebound duel-the shooter, too, if necessary.
  • Whoever has the ball then gets to shoot.
  • Who has X goals first?
drawing Rebound - running duel
Duration: 10 minutes.


"From one sideline to the other sideline. We stay on the same line together and keep pace with (player's name)."

Exercises:
  • 2x runs.
  • 2x hopping (swinging arms).
  • 2x knee lifts (up to the half).
  • 2x heels buttocks (up to half).
  • 1x sideways left.
  • 1x sideways right.
  • 1x cross step (switching sides at half).
  • 3x run (speed up a bit each time).
Only the square and not the diamond is used in this form of training. The primary training objectives here are:
  • Keeping space in the box, through running lines in a square
  • Timely replenishment of vacant position, timing running moments.
  • Passing ball at pace to next player.
Note: the square must be smaller because the diamond is not used initially. Player must be at a distance they can throw.

For the exercise, there is an inside and outside square marked by pawns. So players are not allowed to go outside that path and therefore not make the square smaller than that:
  • Player 1 plays to 2 -> runs after own ball at reasonable pace;
  • Player 2 plays directly to 3 -> runs at reasonable pace after own ball;
  • etc.
  • The ball pace goes up slowly.
  • When the children have this under control, the ball goes the other way.
The ball should be passed quickly and passed faster and faster.
Eventually, players should always be able to get to the empty spot just in time, because the pace of the ball is almost faster than that of the players.

Playing tight balls is a requirement here.
drawing Introduction to the square -complementing each other-.
By 3 at a basket.
Step 1:
  • Player Red defends Player Blue.
  • Player Blue has the ball and then throws it to Player White and runs deep and shoots.
Step 2:
  • Follow Step 1 and after Player Blue runs deep, Player White rushes in for a giveaway.
  • Player Blue goes for a pass through Blue.
  • Player Red continues to defend, but allows the through ball.
Take the goal attempts as calmly as possible
drawing Walking Deep Lines
  • The player goes down the speed ladder from the left side to the center. There the ball is ready on the ground,
  • This ball is played inside and then the person who ran the ladder runs around the ladder and cuts inside with speed.
drawing Speed ladder walk-through ball
  • The speed ladder is approximately 7 meters diagonally in front of the basket, on the left side.
  • The player runs the speed ladder sideways facing the basket, gets the ball at the end, rebounds it and deflects for a shot.
Of course, this exercise can also be performed at the back or another side.
drawing Speed ladder shot
  • Player A starts in front of the post with a shot until he/she scores.
  • After a goal to next point.
  • If missing; run back and forth to previous spot and shoot where you missed.
  • Finish the round.
  • This can also be done without running up and down.
drawing Shooting around the pole
  • Take a dodge ball, after which you do not shoot the ball but instead threaten to the basket for a through ball, but still dodge again. 2x the same way.
  • The ball is played in with the outside hand.
  • Score 10x on the left and 10x on the right.
  1. White throws to blue and blue passes to red.
  2. Blue goes for the breakthrough and gets it to red.
  3. Blue shoots and catches himself. White goes to blue's position.
  4. Blue plays the ball to red, who passes to white, then breaks through and gets the ball from white.
  5. Blue and red switch positions and so on.
  6. 20x scoring.
drawing Shot shapes in a triangle
1.Sprint to the hat in front of you, place your foot next to it, make a turn and sprint to the next hat and so around the box. 4x
2. You keep looking in the same direction at all times. You sprint forward, then backward as fast as you can to the first hat.
Then sideways right and back and then sideways left and back. 3x
3. Forward to right, sideways to left and backwards to starting point. 2x clockwise and 2x counterclockwise.
drawing Conditioning exercises with hats
Goal: defend your own basket but score at another. Whoever remains last wins.
Minimum 3 groups of 2.
Maximum 5 groups of 3 or 4 groups of 4.

  • Each group has a basket.
  • Number of balls depends on how many groups. For example, 3 groups 2 balls.
  • Make easier by fewer balls and larger groups.

  1. the back player cuts in to the support as the ball enters the field and gets it played.
  2. the passer simultaneously runs across the support to the rebound and takes over.
  3. the support passes the ball to the diagonal player in the break and takes the shot
  4. If that is not successful, the ball can be passed to the outgoing first rebounder
At that point, there can be doubles/ breakthroughs from both the first and second players and you get opportunities again if the then standing rebounder steps out again or the earlier support makes an action without the ball.
