Step 1:
Each player has their own ball and lines up in a line with other players in a row 6 meters in front of the basket.
The first player in line runs toward the basket and takes a penalty throw with a quick motion. Runs back and joins the back of the line. The next player starts.

Step 2:
Same setup as step 1. Only now a player also stands in support, slightly in front of the penalty throw spot. This one puts the ball on 1 hand. The runner approaches, grabs the ball from the hand and takes a penalty throw.
Step 3:
Same as step 2. Only the declarer throws the ball up a little.
- Two courses with four pairs. 1 duo starts on the side.
- You play two against two. When the ball is intercepted the other duo takes a shot from the middle.
- If you score through a shot, it is worth one point. A through ball is worth two points.
- When a goal is scored, the scoring team leaves the field and a new pair enters the field. The pair that scored the goal may start.
Attention points attacker:
- Choose an alternating running pace.
- Try to look for your defender's backside.
Points of attention defender:
- Predefend!
- Try to intercept the pass.
Games are played on a small korfball court, divided into two squares, with 1 ball and a total of 4 pairs per square.
- Team blue starts attacking and may not go behind the dotted line, which is in line with the post.
- Team red starts defending and may go anywhere in the box
- Team white may be used as a focal point for team blue and engage in the rebound duel with team red. They are not allowed to get past the dotted line. Caught balls are played back out to the attacking team.
- Team blue scores? Then the ball is played as quickly as possible to team orange, who have the same function as team white in the starting situation.
- Team blue switches places/functions with team white. Team white then becomes the offense in the other box and team red remains defense.
- Interception team red? Then the ball is played to team orange as quickly as possible. Team red becomes attack in the other box and team white defends.
Goal: as a player to free your fellow players after a long line.
- The pole is the central point.
- The playing field is divided into 4 squares.
- If the player can pass to someone diagonally, do so after long runs.
Points:
- Scoring from pass wide = 1p
- Scoring from diagonal = 2p
- Hitting basket from diagonal = 1p
- Passer without a defender
- Attacker without defender
- Both with defender; 2 against 2

- Stand in front of the speed ladder and step into the ladder, always keeping one foot in the ladder and one foot outside the ladder.

- 4 v 4 on badminton court with a post in the middle
- Practice passing discipline, starting with contact but now can go either side or long diagonal
- If you have a shot, take it, if not pass it on
- Others pay attention, looking for a shot, in order to come in for a collect
- If no shot looks likely, go out again
- After each shot, reset and start again
- Switch roles after 3 shots or 5 minutes whichever comes first
- Posts down the centre of the hall
- One player under the post with a ball
- A player on either side of the post
- Feeder passes out to one player

- 4 v 4 on badminton court with post in the middle
- Same passing drill but now can go in other directions including long diagonal, must make contact prior to pass
- If you have a shot - take it, other attackers to watch and if shot is on, get to collect, shooter also follows in

- 4 v 4 on badminton court with post in middle
- Practice the passing exercise but now have choice of which way, still need to make contact first
- If you have a shot, take it, if not pass to someone else, include long diagonal, emphasise contact first
- If there is a shot going up and you are nearest, get to post to collect, shooter to follow shot in
- After a shot, reset and go again, swap roles after three shots or five minutes which ever comes first
- Timing of pass - do not go straight to the end, need to build this up one piece at a time, several moving parts to master individually
- Make contact, step out, pass into space, receiver watches and moves to receive at last moment. Defenders remain static, but arms in motion. Reset and pass back the other way. After two minutes swap attackers and defenders, Are you getting better at timing reception of pass?
- Repeat exercise but now defenders lose use of arms but can move bodies to make this more of a challenge, same reset and repeat and change after two minutes
- Final variation, defenders now try to stop pass and stop reception, same reset and repeat and change after two minutes
