Korfball drills

  • All 4 corners are occupied, ball starts left.
  • Turn around once, when ball is back with 1st player, player 3 goes for support.
  • Ball goes inside, player 4 resolves (rebound).
  • Player 1 crosses with player 2 and player 1 makes a shot.
  • Player 2 stays in motion and takes a short chance, after which player 1 finishes with a through ball.


It is important that the rebound does not take too long, that the crossing is tight and the passing is good.

2 men and 2 women per pole.
Under the post, one is the defending side and one is the attacking side.

  • The offensive side takes the catching position, the defensive side tries to rebound.
  • The two people in front take turns shooting.
  • The rebounders change positions every shot.
  • Whoever gets 3 rebounds first gets a point.
  • Then switch roles (shooters<>rebounders).


Who gets 5 points first?

Poles in a circle around the centre spot, about 10 metres away (reasonable walking distance).
Under each pole, 1 person with ball.
Rest in the middle.

  • On a free post take a walkthrough ball.
  • Every 3 goals you change places at the basket.
  • After each walkthrough, return to the middle.
  • If necessary, vary with substitutions/short chances, etc.

Divide the total group into equal teams of 2, 3 or 4
.Each team has 1 pole as their "Home Base".

  • We start with 1 ball.
  • Teams will attack each other's baskets.
  • If a basket is scored on, that team is out.
  • Continue until there is only one basket left. They win this game.
  • At will put extra balls in the game for tempo.
  • At pawn 1
    • touch the groundtap the ground, jump up and stretch all the way. We do this ten times.
    • RUN TO THE FIRST POLE.
  • Pole 1
    • Then you take a dodge at pole 1.
    • RUN TO POLE 2.
  • Pole 2
    • 5 sit ups.
    • RUN TO POLE 2.
  • Pole 2
    • Take a run through at pole 2.
  • We do this 5 times
  • but each time change under the pole.
  • Two players facing each other at a distance of 4 meters.
  • Player 1 throws the ball, not too hard not too dear,
  • on the preferred hand of player 2
  • and player 2 tries to catch it with one hand.
  • Then player 2 does the same as player 1
  • and player 1 tries to catch with 1 hand as well.

Variations:

  • The normal through ball.
    The through ball is made in one move and is fully extended.


  • The bounce pass ball.
    The walk-through ball is indicated by a bounce.


  • The prematurely declared through ball.
    The through ball is taken by floating in the air.



  • 1 forward under the post,
  • 1 attacker and
  • 1 defender in front of the post.
    • Attacker starts 5-6 m from the post,
    • attacker gets 3 goal attempts to score a goal.
    • If he fails to do so, he stays put and gets another defender.
    • This is rotated until the attacker scores.
  • The players take 10 runs from the back of the post.
  • The coach has a number in his mind and that is how many times the players must score.
  • If not, there is a consequence.
  • This is done per person and not as a team.
  • All players have to shoot 10 times from the back.
  • The coach has a number in his mind and that is how many times the players must score.
  • If not, there is a consequence.
  • This is done individually and not as a team.
  • The players are divided over two posts.
  • Per pole they take 15 short chances (about 2 meters).
  • The trainer has a number in his head and if the players have not scored as often there is a consequence.

This is done in team context

  • We're gonna bowl as a group.
  • We stand in two rows facing each other.
  • We start as follows:pass with two hands, catch with two hands.
    1. Throw over with your good hand, catch with both hands.
    2. Pass with your right hand, catch with your right hand.
    3. Pass with wrong hand, catch with both hands.
    4. Throw over with the wrong hand and catch with the right hand.
  • The whole team has to catch and throw the ball well,
    • If this doesn't happen and the ball falls on the ground 5 times. There is a consequence for this exercise.
