Korfball drills

  • 2 against 3 on 1 basket where when the trio scores, they can keep attacking and the defender changes with two other players when they let a goal through.
  • (Trainer always makes a pair and/or trio on the sideline).
  • A goal may only be scored by a shot and the goal may not be scored from closer than three metres.
  • Set up a square around the basket, in which no shots may be made.
  • Play 4 against 4 in which they must perform the above exercise 5 + 6, the defense may not predefend on the support there must be 1 shot allowed.
  • After 1 shot 4-0 and again. Change task after 1,5 min.
  • Poles in a square.
  • Under each pole stands a lady.
  • Two gentlemen are going to defend the other two gentlemen.
  • The attackers must try to take a through ball on any pole.
  • The defenders' task is to make it as difficult as possible for the attackers.
  • Goal: Learning to take a walkthrough ball with a defender.
  • In a game we are often hindered by the opponent when taking a walkthrough ball.
  • But in training you are usually not hindered, hence these exercises.
  • The match is played in a section of 20 by 20 metres.
  • If possible, make the playing field a little smaller.
  • Two pairs (the pairs from the last part of exercise 1) are going to play against each other between two baskets.
  • Which pair scores the most in 4 minutes against the other pair?
  • After 4 minutes rest for a moment and then again for 4 minutes against another pair.
  • Two squares are going to play against each other between four baskets, one square defending two baskets and the other square defending the other two.
  • Which pair shoots the most against the other pair?
  • A goal may only be scored by means of a deep line (run through from deep) or by what was trained in the previous drill.
  • Two persons per post (lady/lord).
  • One near the pile at 3 meter, one player near the pile and one under the basket.

The ball is thrown from the basket, the player at the pile shoots from a backwards movement.

  • It is the same as water-and-fire but in a korfball form.
  • On the taggers' side are 5 poles.
  • On the attackers' side are 10 balls.
  • The attacking side must try to score 2 goals on all the poles.
  • Then this pole is free and may not be used.
  • But the tappers may tap the attackers.
  • If a ticker taps an attacker, he is out.
  • If he does not tap an attacker, the attacker is out.
  • If an attacker is tagged when he just scored, all players who were tagged off are allowed to play again.
  • If two players score on the same goalpost, all attackers are free again.
  • When someone has scored, that ball is out of the game, so there are less and less balls and poles left, which makes it easier for the taggers and harder for the attackers.
  • If all attackers or all tappers are finished then we turn the functions around.
  • This game was invented by a boy on my team.
  • He always wants to do water-and-fire, but we think we can better do another game that has to do with korfball, so throwing, catching, shooting etc. So he came up with this idea and I did. So he came up with this idea and I must say, it is hard to explain, but it looks very nice.
  • The children learn to shoot further than they normally do, because they don't want to be tapped.
  • They also learn to move as soon as they shoot, because there might be a ticker behind them.
  • Boxes together, two players (men/ladies these are A(anvaller) and V(erdefender) in front of the picture) in the left corner in front of the basket.
  • One player left (left behind the basket) next to it and one player right (right behind the basket) next to it.
  • In the pair is an attacker and a defender.
  • The attacker has the ball, places it next to him (left or right) and takes the rebound.
  • The defender is going to make the rebound difficult but gives it away initially (this one defends in front).
  • The player who does not get the ball fills the place of the attacker/rebounder.
  • The two players in front of the basket take a shot after one or two doubles.
    Who will get the most rebounds out of the five shots?
  • 4 baskets in a square, one pair of the same sex next to a basket.
  • The baskets are spaced 16 metres apart.
  • The pairs of ladies and gentlemen face each other at a basket.
  • There is one runner (shooter) and one server.
  • The runner walks towards the opposite basket, the runners circle each other at the height of the centre, to score at their own basket: (changing function after an exercise)
  • The player under the basket moves away, receives the ball (if the set-up is right, he receives the ball a bit diagonally), the player in front of the basket comes alongside and shoots.
  • Same as above, only now the player in front of the basket gets next to it again and makes a through ball from the space without the ball.
  • Same, only now no through ball is made, but there is a threat for the through ball and the player without the ball runs long (away from the puller and parallel to the basket) and makes the shot.
  • Same, only now the shooter runs long again, and after running the long line comes through for the walkthrough ball without the ball.
