Korfballexercises for seniors

• Training condition with 4 teams
• You stay with your team on your own side.
• Leaders change sides so that everyone stays in motion.
• The intention is that the exercise is done with high intensity.
• Start in front of the pawns. After pion 5 in sprint to the first basket.
• Rebound sprints to the second basket.
• Rebounder second basket joins again with the pawns.
• Count the scores per team
• Count out loud with your team, to keep the competition element in it.
• Round 1:
  • Score 20 balls. (pawn exercises = slalom)
• Round 2:
  • 10 shots 3-4m scoring. (Pawn exercise = 2 pawns forward, 1 pawn backwards)
• Round 3:
  • Score 20 short chances behind the post. The sprinter is indicated and he plays back to the rebounder who stepped out from under the post (pawn exercise = hopping over the pawns).
• Round 4:
  • Scoring 10 shots 4-5m. (Pawn exercise = skating over the pawns, holding landing).
• Round 5:
  • Score 10 evasive balls. (pawn exercise jumping up at pawns 1, 3 and 5 and squat at 2 3n 4)

• With two or three teams at the basket.
• We take turns to shoot 4x.
• We start with a pull away ball at the basket (max 3m)
• Then a distance shot.
• After the distance shot we take a dodge ball
• And finally a walk through ball.
• The walk-through is caught and the next one starts.
• Score per pair 40 points. Distance shot counts for 2, the rest for 1.

A small square around the basket. In this square, 2 players must continuously attack and pass. After each pass the player is in motion.

• 2 Run after passing. After 4 ball touches the shot follows and the other one catches it (shoot to score, not because you are free).
• 3 Crossing after passing.
• After each pass, the thrower crosses with the player who did not receive the ball and they swap positions. After crossing, the ball goes to one of the two and the other one catches it.
• 3/1 Same as above but make sure that, as soon as you receive the ball, you are ready to shoot. If you are in a good position and have caught the ball well, you may shoot, otherwise you play on and the next player shoots.
• 4 All of the above actions but now with a good rebound, but this one does not stay in position.

  • The player in front of the basket comes next to him.
  • And makes a shot.
• Same as above
  • Only now the player in front of the basket comes alongside again.
  • And makes a through ball from the space without the ball.
• Same thing,
  • Only now there is no walkthrough,
  • But there is a threat for the walkthrough.

  • And takes the shot.
• same,
