Korfballexercises for technique general

• At 2,5 meter distance from the post stands a pawn.
• From there the players make an underhand penalty throw.
• First practice a few times and then see who scored 10 first.

Different exercises with the ball:

• Throwing the ball up and catching it again,
• Wrap the ball around your belly,
• Throwing with 1 hand and catching with 2 hands,
• Throwing from front to back or back to front.

After the game, have everyone take 2 penalty throws.

Play a game and pay attention to free running.

There are 3 players per basket with 1 ball. 1 player shoots the ball, the other two stand under the basket and try to catch the ball. The one who first reaches a certain number of points exchanges with the shooter.

This game is played with the whole group.
The group stands behind each other, behind a pawn at 5 meters distance from the pole.
There are two balls, the one in front shoots the ball. The person behind it shoots the ball and if he scores before the person in front of him scores, the person in front of him goes out and so on.

Explain who should stand where, when you get a free ball and show how to do it. Do this on a basket so that everyone can see how to do it and how not to do it

Start line-up
Two groups at the first two pawns.

Exercise
The first one in line runs to the hoop and goes through the hoop from the bottom, so the hoop goes over their head. Then he goes through the defense posture to pawn two and turns around it 4 times. Finally, he runs to pawn 3 and scores before he can run back to pawn 1 and tap the next one in line.

Defensive stance:
Backwards and through the knees with your arm up.

Distance setup:
Hoop from pawn 1: 5 meter.
Pawn 2 from hoop: 5 meter.
Pawn 3 from pawn 2: 5 meter.
Pole from cone 3: 4 meter.

Starting situation

The game is played by 2 teams who play against each other between 2 baskets positioned about 15 metres apart. The two teams consist of four players or at least three players. Larger teams are not recommended due to the limited space available for free running.

Goal of the game

Which team scores the most goals? Try to conquer the ball to attack, try to get in scoring position by playing together and try to score.

Game rules

You are not allowed to run with the ball, you are not allowed to play alone, the ball is not allowed to be taken out of the hands of the opponent or team-mate. Other rules like defensive shooting or cutting can be omitted.

Approach

Divide the group into two parties of equal number of players. The trainer can play along with the side in possession of the ball to make sure the game runs smoothly. The participation of two trainers is stimulating for the players and gives them the opportunity to make corrections during the game.

In the course of the game, rules can be added which lead to the targeted practice of basic skills. Examples are:

• You may only throw with one hand and goal attempts are always made with 2 hands
• Players are assigned special tasks, players who help and players who try to score.

• It can be read from the game what needs to be practised specifically in simplified game elements
