Korfball drills for technique attack / score

  • 4 defenders stand at the post and look at their opponent who stands at a hat. (Hats in the corners of the box)
  • From the centre line, the ball is placed in a corner.
  • The foursome in the corners try to score as quickly as possible and use the (temporary) overtal situation.
  • The defender of the player who gets the ball makes a circle from the basket before he may defend.
  • The three other defenders try to prevent scoring.
  • Be careful not to infringe, as there is always a lady free. (This exercise is about insight and overview).
  • Variant on shot movement triangle
    • Instead of a shot
    • Start rebounding away for a short chance
    • Front player remains in play-off position
    • Indicates position of rebound (1/5)
  • Variant 2:
    • Frontline player runs one back (space)
    • Ball diagonal and throwing player comes next to it
drawing Variant of triangle shot movement
  • You have two attackers on the side in the middle between two baskets.
  • The attacker must try to score with the help of the two players.
  • At an interception, the defender becomes the attacker.
  • When a goal is scored, the attacker gets a bonus and is allowed to keep attacking, only now he has to attack the other basket.
  • When three goals have been scored, the winning attacker is rested and exchanged with a declarer.

In short: practicing various shooting variants in a fun competition form.

  • Organization: per group a basket and a ball, the baskets are preferably (but not necessary) arranged in a circle or rectangle.
  • The number of persons per group is less important (but all groups are about the same size).
  • The first assignment for the groups is: score 10 goals.
  • When you have completed this assignment, the person who scored the last goal runs to the trainer to pick up the next assignment.
  • Which group completed all assignments first?
  • The trainer walks around, encouraging, or correcting.
  • He has a piece of paper with him with a row of assignments on it.
  • When someone comes to pick up the next assignment, first ask which one has just been done (this can vary considerably over time) and then hand out the next assignment.
  • An example list: 10 walk-through balls, 15 penalty shots, 5 8-meter shots, 10 walk-through balls from behind the basket, 5 dodge balls next to the pole, 10 6-meter shots.
  • Everything is possible of course, a lot of momentum is gained if the number of goals to be scored is kept small.
  • 10 walk-through balls
  • 20 small oppertunities
  • 6 remote shots
  • 10 penalty throws
  • 1 backwards


  • 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.
  • 3 baskets
  • 1 attacker
  • 2 defenders
  • And per basket one attacker with ball
  • Score as many goals as possible within 1 minute

You will play matches with even numbers, but instead of earning points by scoring, you can also earn points by catching the ball.

  • Goal is worth 1 point
  • Catching the ball after a shot(rebounding) 2 points
  • Number 1 is going to take penalties until 10 have been scored.
  • In the meantime number 2 does running exercises.
  • As soon as number 1 has scored 10, there is a change of function.
  • Formation 2 on the line, 1 left 1 right in the field.
  • Release ball whereby 2 on the line go towards the basket and left and right on the line pick up the ball.
  • Long ball and score
  • 1 declarer
  • 1 Attacker
  • 1 defender


  • In front of the basket, attacker and defender walk towards each other.
  • Attacker decides when to start for the walkthrough.

Progressive series of exercises: 1.1

  • Start in normal diamond position.
  • Person(1) on top gives to Person (2) side field.
  • Then Person (1) runs to the rebound.
  • While persons (3,4) walk towards person (2),
  • who plays one of them and this one gets open space to shoot.

attack-exercise-11-construction-

  • Put four caps around the basket at a distance of 4 meters.
  • 1 in front 2 on either side of the basket and 1 behind the basket.
  • The players at the front/back are 1 team and the player on either side of the basket are 1 team.


Option 1:

  • A shot is taken by a random player all 4 players try to grab the rebound.


Option 2:

  • There is shot by a random player all 4 player try to grab the rebound.
  • Once the ball is caught by a player he has 2 choices: He shoots the ball directly at the basket himself or he places the ball directly on his teammate and he takes the shot.
