Korfball drills
- Ladies and gentlemen each at a post, two shooters in front of the basket at 7 metres.
- One rebounder and one defender under the basket.
- Two pawns at the side of the basket at 4 metres.
- The rebounder has to sprint away to touch one of the pawns and run back to the basket to get the rebound.
- The defender has to follow the rebounder to the pile, also touching the pile and trying to make it easy for the rebounder.
- The rebounder gets to run away five times? Who catches the most of the five times? The rebounder or the defender?
- Pairs of players at the basket.
- Free ball 1 and 2 practice with defenders.
- Wanna know which ones?
- Who scores the most from 5 free balls taken? (1 and 2 = 10 free balls taken each)
- Shooting from a neighborhood ball from 7 yards with two attackers under the basket each with a ball.
- Which player scores the most in two minutes?
- Players stand in different groups at the pole and get a shooting assignment.
- E.g. score 3 times in a row without missing from 5 metres.
- The player who has done this can come to the middle and say higher or lower with his row of cards.
- This exercise is repeated until someone has finished his row of cards.
- In case of a wrong guess, the card is replaced by a spare card.
- The teacher sets out three areas of approximately equal size with pawns.
- It is best to use the volleyball lines (see map).
- There are three sections (see map):
- Left: barons square (losers square)
- Centre: princes section (neutral section)
- Right: king of the court (winner section)
- All students stand in the middle section.
- With a signal from the teacher the game starts.
- All pupils have to try to tap/strike the ball of another pupil out of the box.
- If you succeed you move one square to the right.
- If your ball is knocked away you move up one square to the left.
- If you hit/tap someone's ball out of the box on the right you score a point.
- If your ball is knocked out of the winner's box you lose all your points.
- If your ball is knocked out of the left box nothing happens and you stay standing.
- When the teacher gives the final signal the person with the most points is king of the court and he/she has won.
Party with the whole group
Variation:
- With different tasks for the attackers or defenders.
- For example:
- forward defence
- only forwards
- paying attention to extra running into space and shooting from here.
- 1 declarer throws the ball to the person in front of the basket
- he then makes a shot when the ball is caught
- under the basket he then goes inside
- and takes a walkthrough ball
- finally, he takes a short chance
- you can play this like this, for example, who is the first to the 20
- There are three players standing at a pole.
- Player 1 starts with the ball and throws to 2, 3 runs first short and then long, then gets the ball from player 2 and shoots.
- Player 1 catches and throws to player 2, player 2 throws to 3 and then player 1 runs the long line.
- This is how the process repeats itself.
Variations:
- Instead of shooting, player 1 cuts in and throws number 3 in and comes for the through ball
- Same as above, but then player 3 does not take a walkthrough ball but pulls player 1 away and takes a short chance
- There are 3 posts placed in a triangle, pointing to the centre of the triangle.
- The defenders try to prevent the attacker from scoring.
- Do this until the attacker has scored twice or 1 minute has passed and then turn around.
- Let the children divide themselves over 3 poles.
- More poles if there are many children
- One person may start shooting from 1 meter if the basket is hit within 2 attempts, the player may continue shooting from 2 meters.
- If they can't hit the basket in two attempts, it's the next player's turn.
- In this way we can see which children can shoot from far and less far.
- You can also see which children are stronger in their arms, so that you can pay attention to that next time you make groups.
- With the weight through the knees and up again.
- Do this 10 times and then shoot 5 times at 3 meters from the pole.
- Then we pick up the weight again and move our arms along the body and then forward with our arm stretched.
- Next, we move forward with stretched arm.
- We do this also 10 times and then shoot 5 times at 5 meter.
- Then finally we move with stretched arms to the side 10 times.
- Then we shoot 5x at the pole at 7 meter.
- Get in 2 teams and stand in a row opposite each other and bring the pawns together to the other side.
- You do this by first lifting your one hand and take the pawn and put it between your 2 hands.
- Then you lift your other hand and put the pawn next to your hand.
- From there, the next person does exactly the same until the pawn reaches the other side.
- In total, 8 pawns must reach the other side.
