Korfball drills for technique defense

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.

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

• 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.

• There are 3 posts placed in a triangle, pointing to the centre of the triangle.
• The defenders try to prevent the attacker from scoring.
• Do this until the attacker has scored twice or 1 minute has passed and then turn around.

Objective:

• To teach the children to follow their direct opponent at all times,
• The defender always remains between the post and the girl.

Organisation:

• The children stand in pairs near a basket.
• One of the two is defender, the other attacker.
• The attacker makes movements around the basket (towards, away from, left, right, etc.).
• The defender constantly makes sure she stays in the right place between the basket and the girl.
• After a few minutes, switch. Changing pairs.

• One rebounder, one defender and one attacker.
• 30 sec attacks...if attacker can score, he becomes rebounder at the next post.
• If not, he becomes the defender.
• Rebounder becomes attacker all the time...

• In a square there are 3 defending players and 1 attacking player.
• The attacker tries to get a pylon, the defenders try to prevent that by working together.
• So the defenders will have to move a lot between the pylons to beat the attacker.
• Everyone is 3x attacker.
• Always after 1 round with the four of you evaluate how best to get the attacker out of position.

• There is not 1 good strategy.
• Which agreements do you make?
• How smart is the attacker?
• Do you dare to let go?

• All line up with your back to the middle.
• In defensive stance to the opposite side.
• Back and forth 2x.
• Then another time and alternate with other leg in front.

• In pairs.
• One player is the runner and the other is the defender.
• Slow pace where runner runs forward and defender runs backward in defensive stance.
• Pick up pace.
• With feints.

• Mention in advance that they should play around and then set up a support and rebound.
• Also mention that the support stays until a follow-through or shot comes. Because if the ball is spent for a shot and the defender gets to it in time then the ball can be played back on the support.
  • The support remains until the defender gets in front of the support to avoid the returning pass
• Thus, the defenders must learn that after a spent pass is returned immediately in front of the support.

• Children learning to walk lines

• Attacker and defender ready for the post. Offender under the post with ball.
• Defender moves up post.
• Play 1 x 1 until attacker has scored 1 time. Defender always tries to be there.
• The post of the defender who got the goal against gets penalty.
• Defender goes back to own post.
• Passing
