Korfball drills for technique condition / strength

  • In threes or twos to the basket.
  • There is constantly 1 person working for 1 minute, ideally 2 people for the rebound.
  • There are pawns/slip dots in a square around the basket, about 4 meters apart.

  • Player 1 starts at the first pawn, walks in for a through ball.
  • Then walks out to the second pawn and takes the shot there.
  • Goes to the third pawn and makes another through ball there etc.
  • After 1 minute it is the next player's turn.
drawing Conditioning Exercise
  • The focus in this exercise is angles running, many players run in corners, making it easy for opponents to keep up.
  • The idea in this exercise is to force angular running lines. A lot of explosiveness is required from the players, so the exercise is quite tough.
  • Place 4 markers in front of the basket, angled towards the basket about 3/4 meters away. A declarer stands under the basket and player goes x number of goals/minutes/actions running lines using the markers.
    • Multiple combinations are possible. Should there be a third player, he/she can rest or possibly do a strength exercise such as Jumping-jacks, sit-ups, planking.

  • Start pawn behind -> forward -> left -> right -> player comes to shot.
  • Start pawn in the back -> forward -> to the right -> to the left -> player makes a shot
  • Start pawn in the back -> forward -> to the right -> to the left -> to the right -> player reaches shot
  • Start pawn in the back -> forward -> to the left -> to the right -> to the left -> player reaches shot
  • Start pawn in front -> To the back -> To the left -> To the right -> Player makes a shot

  • You can possibly extend the exercise with a long line, through a marker 3/4 meters behind the basket. After a running combination, above, the player runs to the back and takes a shot. Mirrored is also possible.
drawing Explosive swerve
  • We work in threesomes
  • Two players under the post and one halfway up the box.
  • Play the ball forward and sprint after it.
  • The player in front throws the ball to the second player under the post and runs sideways.
  • The ball is placed on the running player and he/she shoots.
  • Under the post is caught and the shooter there becomes second player.
  • We score 10x left turn and 10x right turn.
  • The pace of the exercise should be high to reach competition level.
drawing Shot after lateral movement
  • Declarant at the pole with ball.
  • Place the hurdles in front of the pole such that the nearest hurdle is 3 meters from the pole
  • Jump over the first hurdle and sideways over hurdles 2 and 3, then make a swerve to the side
  • Get the ball and score 10x right and 10x left
drawing Hurdles with fallback ball
Work with 2- or 3-person teams:
  • The second player starts when the first is at the second speed ladder.
  • With 3-pairs, there is always a rest until the third is at the 2nd speed ladder.
  • 2 speed ladders are 10 meters apart.
Exercise:
  • You go left sideways through the speed ladder, knees up.
  • Then you sprint to the other speed ladder.
  • There you go right sideways through it, knees up.
  • Slowly backward back to the starting point.
  • Everyone does this 5x.
The other players take swerve balls until it's their turn.
drawing Speed ladder sprint
  • Make 2-person teams
  • 1 player is shooter and the other player stands under the basket to trap.
  • They shoot 2 times and then switch.
  • When the shooter scores, they may take a cap from the middle.
  • When the caps in the middle run out, the player may take them from the other 2-times.
  • Whoever has the most caps at the end has won.
Setup:
