Korfball drills

  • Triplets under the basket
  • No. 1 shoots from under the basket
  • No. 2 catches the ball and shoots from under the basket (there where she/he catches the ball)
  • No. 3 catches the ball .........
  • Nr. 1 catches the ball ......... etc.
  • Whichever team has scored 30 goals first.
  • Option, when the ball falls to the ground 1 point deducted from the goal score, less than 0 is not possible.
  • One shooter.
  • Two catchers.
  • Two balls.
  • The shooter shoots from an easy distance.
  • Because two balls are used, the pace of shooting is high.
  • The goal is not to get sloppy but to keep shooting technically and to "automate" the shot.
  • You can vary with locations or types of shot (short/distance/shot-through) and so on.
  • The trainer calls an exercise with the number of goals
  • Example:
    • 10 shots
    • 10 passes
    • 5 penalty shots
    • 4 free balls
  • The players have to complete these exercises in pairs as quickly as possible.
  • When they are ready they sit down on the designated bench.
    • 1st - no task
    • 2nd - 2 x push-ups
    • 3rd - 4 x push-ups
    • 3rd - 6 x push-ups
    • etc.
  • In this exercise you have two helpers, each with a ball and a shooter.
  • Around the pole there are pawns of different colours.
  • The shooter then makes an action towards that colour and shoots.
  • After X goals, the players change roles.
  • Attention:
    • The player must be turned in to shoot
    • The player must always look at the ball
    • Quickly take the shot
  • For fitness this is a good exercise:
  • The group has to line up and you let them start dribbling slowly.
  • As soon as the trainer blows the whistle, the last one in line should run forward.
  • Do this until everyone has run and then let them finish the circle.
  • With groups together.
  • The first of the groups will walk around the room, walk to the basket and make a shot from 4 meters.
  • As soon as this one is seated, walk to the next one.
  • Number 2 also makes a round, walks to the basket and makes a through ball, the third a short chance behind the basket, the fourth a shot behind the basket.
  • Then all 4 players take a staff throw and sit down.
  • Who is first with the whole group at their basket has won
  • 4 against 4.
  • Pay attention to the basic set-up, to the ball pace and to the movement of the players, so that there is not just one attacker moving.
  • Make the game more surprising by moving the ball, pulling the ball away, throwing it deep, etc.
  • There is one scapegoat without the ball and two players without the ball.
  • The ball is thrown over in a good position, who has the ball can be tapped without the ball.
  • The ball may be held for a maximum of ten seconds.
  • If the ticker has intercepted a ball, then that ball goes out of the game.
  • Are you tapped you go to the side when no 2 comes on the side does no 1 again.
  • In two groups you are going to shoot.
  • 1 person is going to shoot, 1 catch, 1 hoop
  • The person is going to shoot
  • At every goal the person who takes the hoop, takes a hoop and puts it over the shooter.
  • The shooter has to stand there until someone has scored.
  • This way you keep on turning.
  • When there are no more hoops you change from basket.
  • Who has the most after 5 minutes, has won.
  • Practicing throwing and releasing on the short and long line.
  • The declarer stands far from the basket. The archer stands in front of the box at the side of the declarer.
  • The archer walks up to the declarer (the short line), receives the ball and shoots.
  • The declarer becomes a shooter, the shooter walks to behind the basket, the catcher arrives at the position of the declarer, after the ball is thrown to the next declarer.


Variant:

  • The shooter chooses the long line after feinting towards the short line or basket.


  • Both variations can be trained with the opponent near the shooter, so that the declarer learns to judge when someone is free.
  • Dose the defender. When using a defender, the 2nd declarer (who in fact does nothing) can act as a defender.
  • The rotation after the exercise is: declarer becomes defender, defender becomes gunner, gunner becomes catcher and catcher becomes declarer (after a combination with a player).
  • Practicing throwing and releasing on the short and long line.
  • The declarer stands far from the basket. The archer stands in front of the box at the side of the declarer.
  • The archer walks up to the declarer (the short line), receives the ball and shoots.
  • The declarer becomes a shooter, the shooter walks to behind the basket, the catcher arrives at the position of the declarer, after the ball is thrown to the next declarer.

  • Two players stand 7 metres in front of the basket and 8 metres apart.
  • A player with the ball under the basket and a receiver slightly behind the basket.
  • A player in front of the basket takes the through ball indicated from space, after the other player in front of the basket has received the ball.
  • The ball is caught by the receiver.
    • A1 becomes A2,
    • A2 becomes A3,
    • A3 becomes A4 and
    • A4 becomes A1.


What can you see?

  • The handler learns that the shooter can only take a walkthrough ball if the throw is prepared calmly, thrown in front of the shooter and the ball is placed at the right height.
  • Walking pace and walking distance of the archer can be controlled by the throwing pace, ball path and ball pace.
  • Learning to control problems such as timing requires a lot of repetition and sometimes adjustment of the distances used.
  • The problems for the shooter, the starting position of the through ball is different because the body is turned to receive the ball, lead to unclean actions. Stay attentive to this.
  • The speed of action should be increased.


Variation:

  • As exercise 12, but the declarer throws the ball to a shooter who swings out to a position diagonally behind the basket.
  • There is a ball through the middle where the declarer from the space in game situation must take into account two opponents, his direct opponent and the opponent of the shooter, after all he is not far from the ball line.


Variant:

  • The shooter makes a feint and plays the ball through to the player under the basket who signals a through ball.
