Korfball drills

  • Player 1 starts at 6 meters from the basket.
  • Player 2 stands between player 1 and the basket at 2 metres from player 1.
  • Player 1 starts running for a through ball.
  • Player 2 has to prevent the through ball.
  • So player 2 must bend his knees to be able to move immediately.
  • Also, the player must move immediately when player 1 starts to run.
  • If this is not done, you are too late and you will never catch up with player 1.
  • The goal is to prevent the walkthrough ball.
  • Play 2:2, which pair scores 5 goals first. (We do this 2 times against another pair).
  • 4:4, where in a small space 10x must be played over, without the ball being intercepted or dropped.
  • If this exercise is too easy, you can play the ball within 4 seconds.
  • The most important thing in this exercise is that the players run free, complete in time and keep an overview.
  • This is an exercise in which you can increase the understanding of running free
  • Especially if you speed up the game. (which team will score first 3 times)
  • Place 5 hats around the basket.
  • At 5 different distances from the basket. (max 6 meters, minimal 2 meters)
  • Work with pairs.
  • From each hat you may shoot twice.
  • You always shoot a whole round.
  • Which pair is first to score twice from all hats?
  • You make a round, until you have scored from all spots.
  • You shoot one round and catch the next round.
  • 3 or 4 players.
  • On 8 meters opposite each other.
  • Player 1 of the pair throws the ball to the other side and runs after it.
    • Throw over and run after it.
    • Player gets the ball back.
    • Player swings out of the way and gets the ball back underhand. (all with 1 hand).
    • Player makes half circle jump and plays ball back; player runs to the other side.
    • Player gets ball from number 2 from behind and plays ball to the other side.
  • 3 or 4 teams.
  • Attacker, attacker, defender.
  • Attacker practices different types of shots but now with pressure from a defender.
  • Change after 10 goal attempts. (Each player keeps track of his shot percentage).
    • Attacker (A) shoots from 6 meter on the move.
    • Defender (V) gives light pressure.
    • A makes virtual shot move and takes through ball.
    • V also obstructs pass ball but has to give chance.
    • A has choice between shot and through ball.
    • V cooperates by making a clear choice.
    • If 3 but fumbles after shot or walkthrough ball another chance under the post.
  • Make 2 or 3 teams.
  • Each team gets 10 pawns.
  • The players shoot from their own chosen distances and put a pawn on each spot where they have scored.
  • When one team has finished, the teams change baskets. (Even if the other baskets have not yet placed all 10 pawns).
  • Now the players shoot the pawns away from the other team by scoring from that distance.
  • Winner who shoots away the pawns first.
  • Everyone in a circle or whatever.
  • Pass the ball around by throwing with two hands.
  • Pay special attention to the technique of throwing the ball.
  • When this has been done a few times you can switch styles, so for example with one hand.
  • Or perhaps above the head.
  • Alternate in this.
  • Each player a hoop and a pawn.
  • Player puts the pawn about 5 metres from the hoop.
  • Player turns the hoop and sprints to the pawn.
  • Player must be back before the hoop is finished.
  • If successful, move the pawn one metre away.
  • Who can achieve the greatest distance?
  • Each pair has a ball, a basket and 3 hoops.
  • The pair stands about 10 metres in front of the basket.
  • On a signal, player 1 throws the three hoops and the ball towards the basket.
  • When the ball is thrown, player 2 sprints to the ball and shoots from each hoop until he has scored.
  • Then player 2 takes the hoops and the ball and runs back to the start.
  • Player 2 throws and player 1 shoots.
  • Who finishes first.
  • After that of course a chance for revenge.
  • A pair must make a continuous run of 10 penalty throws.
  • Missing is back to 0.
  • In the time this pair needs the other pairs will do shooting exercises e.g.
    • Distance shot. (counts for 2)
    • Pass.
    • Chance.
  • Then change.
  • Who scores the most?
