Korfballexercises for technique passing / attack
- The player with the ball has a defender trying to intercept the ball.
- The attacker plays with the 3 others and with as little running as possible tries to pass the ball with the 3 helpers for 1 minute.
- The ball may be in the hands of a player for max 3 seconds.
- the back player cuts in to the support as the ball enters the field and gets it played.
- the passer simultaneously runs across the support to the rebound and takes over.
- the support passes the ball to the diagonal player in the break and takes the shot
- If that is not successful, the ball can be passed to the outgoing first rebounder
At that point, there can be doubles/ breakthroughs from both the first and second players and you get opportunities again if the then standing rebounder steps out again or the earlier support makes an action without the ball.
- The first ball is played deep from the front pocket.
- Then the other front comes in and passes the ball.
- The first passer runs across the block to the catch.
- The adjuster runs on the ball side for a through ball to the post.
Alternatively, the ball is played back directly for the distance shot. - The player under the post steps out as soon as the rebound is taken over from the front and ensures that the player with the ball has two points of attack.
- Blue player with ball plays the ball to outrunning player under the post.
- Then this one runs with it himself, gets the ball back and shoots.

- Again, the players switch positions.

Play 2 against 2 on 1 basket
Difficulty of this task is that there are few options to work towards a chance.
Difficulty of this task is that there are few options to work towards a chance.
Free running and passing are therefore of utmost importance.
Let the players help think about what the best options are.
The attackers stay in the field of play and play until a goal is scored or an interception is made.
Ball out of the field of play is also an interception.
Because of the high intensity, build in some more rest.

Versatile match exercise 4 against 4
- Make 2 teams of 4 players maximum.
If you have more players than 8, make 2 pairs and change quickly after each or after 2 goals. - Team 1 starts attacking at 1 basket, team 2 defends.
If team 1 scores, they may continue attacking, but start again at the starting pawn.
If team 2 intercepts the ball they have 1 shot opportunity to try to score on basket 2 or 3.
If the defence scores after 1 shot, they become the new offence team and may start at the starting pawn, to attack basket 1. - Which team has scored the 5 goals first? You can vary this.
- Change when there are more than 8 players: after 1 or 2 goals quickly change.
- This exercise is designed to let the players choose for themselves what they want to improve on.
- Which (improvement) goal, which they have set for themselves, do they want to improve here.
- As a trainer you can steer this by guiding the choice.
- For example: the exercise must have something to do with passing/shooting/attacking/looking etc.
