Korfballexercises for seniors

• Place 5 hats around the basket.
• At 5 different distances from the basket. (max 6 meters, minimal 2 meters)
• Work with pairs.
• From each hat you may shoot twice.
• You always shoot a whole round.
• Which pair is first to score twice from all hats?
• You make a round, until you have scored from all spots.
• You shoot one round and catch the next round.

• 3 or 4 players.
• On 8 meters opposite each other.
• Player 1 of the pair throws the ball to the other side and runs after it.
  • Throw over and run after it.
  • Player gets the ball back.
  • Player swings out of the way and gets the ball back underhand. (all with 1 hand).
  • Player makes half circle jump and plays ball back; player runs to the other side.
  • Player gets ball from number 2 from behind and plays ball to the other side.

• 3 or 4 teams.
• Attacker, attacker, defender.
• Attacker practices different types of shots but now with pressure from a defender.
• Change after 10 goal attempts. (Each player keeps track of his shot percentage).
  • Attacker (A) shoots from 6 meter on the move.
  • Defender (V) gives light pressure.
  • A makes virtual shot move and takes through ball.
  • V also obstructs pass ball but has to give chance.
  • A has choice between shot and through ball.
  • V cooperates by making a clear choice.
  • If 3 but fumbles after shot or walkthrough ball another chance under the post.

• Make 2 or 3 teams.
• Each team gets 10 pawns.
• The players shoot from their own chosen distances and put a pawn on each spot where they have scored.
• When one team has finished, the teams change baskets. (Even if the other baskets have not yet placed all 10 pawns).
• Now the players shoot the pawns away from the other team by scoring from that distance.
• Winner who shoots away the pawns first.

• Make 2 rows of players.
• Players walk towards each other and pass the ball.
• Shorten the passing distance until the ball is hanging still in the air.
• The passing is then more like a short tap.

Objective:

• From 4-0 position to take action.

Rules:

• You play around and create an attack opportunity in front of the basket.
• After the first action, start the second action.
• After second action, return to 4-0 position.
• Everyone stays in motion.

Actions to practice:

• Player 1 catches a shot or makes sure she is away from a pass, can score via diversion after a missed pass.
• Player 4 makes a run through after a pass through.

• Players run/dribble around a set square. (poles/pawns, sufficient distance from each other).
• Players are given a list of commands in advance, with a corresponding number.
• The trainer calls out a number randomly, players carry out the assignment.
• You can adjust the number of missions and the missions themselves.
• Example of assignments.
  • Tapping the ground.
  • Jump in the air.
  • Sprint to the next pole.
  • 1 burpee.
  • Backwards as if you are defending until the next pole/pawn.

• Players play 4-0 around the post.
• Player 1 takes the catch immediately after a pass.
• The next player to pass the ball takes the pass, but is "defended in front" and cannot avoid it.
• The player goes behind the post, the "defender" stays in front of the post, the player behind the post pulls away, gets the ball and shoots.
• Ball is caught, played out and the exercise is done again.
• This can be done with or without defenders.
• With defenders, the defenders must over-defend and stay in front of the post when the player moves backwards.
• Without defenders, make sure that attackers keep making the correct movements and do not immediately move backwards to move away, but only when they have been "pre-defended

Objective:

Set up attacks in overtime situations

Rules:

• Make sure the offense always has 1 more person than the defense (3-2, 4-3, 4-2 etc.)
• Gives the offense a task:
  • E.g. score within 5 passes, score after setting up an action, score from the rebound.
• Gives the defense a task:
  • E.g. intercept the ball within 5 passes, defend in front.
• Decide if you can go for a defensive goal.
• Indicate with cones where the lines are.
• Agree when offense switches with defense:
  • After X minutes, after X goals, after X interceptions.

• 4 against 4 on 1 pole.
• The attacking team consults before each attack.
• They have to agree on a plan for the next attack.
• Who fills what position, what tactics (e.g. attacking in 3-1 or continuing to 2-2), do we move the ball to the back or do we attack in front with 2 people etc.
• Encourage them to have a basic plan.
• Let them think of alternatives if something doesn't work out.
• It is not the intention that they do not go for the ball after a goal attempt
• The goal is to score, so they should also try to get the ball when a goal attempt goes wrong
• Variation
• Give the defence an order and see if the attack picks it up and adapts.

• Each player a hoop and a pawn.
• Player puts the pawn about 5 metres from the hoop.
• Player turns the hoop and sprints to the pawn.
• Player must be back before the hoop is finished.
• If successful, move the pawn one metre away.
• Who can achieve the greatest distance?

• Each pair has a ball, a basket and 3 hoops.
• The pair stands about 10 metres in front of the basket.
• On a signal, player 1 throws the three hoops and the ball towards the basket.
• When the ball is thrown, player 2 sprints to the ball and shoots from each hoop until he has scored.
• Then player 2 takes the hoops and the ball and runs back to the start.
• Player 2 throws and player 1 shoots.
• Who finishes first.
• After that of course a chance for revenge.
