- Next, you will encounter three hurdles that increase from low to high. Jump over these hurdles.
- On the way, take a small bag from the bucket. Which team can get all the bags to the other side first and then sprint as a team to the other side first? The final sprint can only begin once the last bag is in place!
Objective

- Run at the right moment, namely when the shot is taken, to be in the correct position for the rebound.
Execution

- Inside the circle, there are several balls, one fewer than the number of players.
- When the trainer shouts "YES", the players grab a ball as quickly as possible.
- The player who scores two goals first wins.
- The player without a ball continues running until someone finishes shooting.
Running-in Shot and Shot
- Work in groups of three or pairs at the korf.
- One person works for 2 minutes, two people for the rebound.
- Cones are placed in a square around the korf, at a distance of 4 metres.
- Player 1 starts at the first cone, runs inside for a running-in shot.
- Then proceed to the second cone for a shot.
- Go to the third cone for a running-in shot, and so on.
- After 1 minute, the player switches.
- Take feint shots for 2 minutes.
- Two feeders, each with a ball.
- After 2 minutes, one of the others becomes the shooter.
- Who among the trio is the best shooter? Optionally, a second turn to improve.
- Players stand in pairs, 12 metres apart.
- Throw the ball across to the other side and sprint after the ball.
- Repeat 10 times per person.
Setup
- Divide the players into two teams.
- Create two zones around the korf for shots from the outside.
- Each game requires 3 or 4 balls.
- Shooters stand outside the zone and each team has a rebounder inside the zone with the opponent's shooters.
- The shooters attempt to shoot from outside the zone to score a certain number of goals as quickly as possible.
- Rebounders catch the ball and pass it to their teammates in the other zone.
- The team that first reaches the agreed number of goals wins.
- Rebounders may not leave the zone, and shooters may not enter it.
- The rebounder must quickly assess where the balls are coming and efficiently pass them to teammates.
Explanation
- Divide the group into pairs. Each pair has a ball and a basket with four cones.
- Set up the field as shown in the diagram.
- Player 1 starts at the cone in front of the basket, player 2 is the passer.
- Player 1 begins with a lateral line and then accelerates sharply for the running-in shot.
- After the running-in shot, player 1 stays near the basket, moving for a short chance.
- Finally, player 1 makes a deep line for the distance shot.
- Afterwards, player 1 switches with player 2.
- Make it competitive by assigning points to the different goals.
- Running-in shot and short chance count for 1 point, the distance shot for 2 points.
- Three successful attempts in one turn gives 5 points.
- Failing to score results in a deduction of 1 point.
- Who scores 25 points first and which post has both players reaching 25 points first?
