Korfball drills for technique shoot / score / shot

  • Set out a parcour of hats (= game board).
  • Per pair of players a pylon is needed (or a water bottle/shirt).
  • First exercise is the same for everyone, e.g. 20 balls. Then the game begins.
  • Dice is the number of hats ahead.
  • 1 through 5 are korfball drills, 6 = fitness task
  • If you land on the same pylon as another duo, you may give them an extra assignment.
  • Examples of korfball exercises:
    • walk-through balls
    • dodge
    • shots
    • penalty throw
    • 2 walk-through balls and then a penalty throw
    • pull-away balls
  • Examples of fitness exercises:
    • Squats
    • Push-ups (possibly on knees)
    • Jumping jacks
    • Lunges, first stepping out with the left, then with the right.
    • Burpees


  • 1 pole
  • All players in a row at a good distance, not too close.
  • The first one starts shooting, when he has shot the 2nd may shoot.
  • If you score before the player behind you scores, give the ball to the next player and join the back of the row.
  • If the player behind you scores before you score, you're out. Both balls go to the next 2 in line.

Work with 3 teams

  • Score 10 goals after a move to the left. (run from front to side until about 5 metres next to the basket)
  • Score 10 goals after a move to the right. (run from side or back to right to about 5 metres from the basket)
  • Score 20 distance shots >/ 7 meters.
  • Score 10 sprint through balls.
  • Score 10 walk-throughs with running defender.
  • Score 10 penalty shots without missing.
  • The ball is played into the support.
  • The taker feints to the left and pulls away to the right.
  • She receives the ball and shoots from that sideways movement.
  • The shot is caught by the third lady
    • She passes to the first attacker, who has run forward
    • Who plays in and pulls away to the left, after feinting.
  • The first shooter makes the catch.
Make 20 goals per team of 3
drawing Distance shot after sideways pull.
Divide the group into different teams. Use playing cards and redistribute after each task. Winning team earns one point each:

  • Shot at 4 meter from movement: score 10x
  • Knock on wood: score 15x
  • Shot on the move 4 meter behind the basket: score 8x
  • Penalty throw: score 15x
  • Shot from movement 6 meter: score 7x
  • Shot through with 1 hand: score 12x
  • Penalty throw behind the basket: score 12x
  • Free throws: score 8x
  • Shot (2p), run-through (1p), short-handed shot (1p): score 20 points
  • Swerve and run-through: both inbound is 1p. score 8 points
  1. Under each post is a declarer with the ball. In front of each post stands a shooter.
  2. The shooters in front of the basket keep shooting until one of the shooters has scored two goals.
  3. When one shooter has scored two goals, all shooters move to the next post.
  4. All shooters add to the number of goals they have scored. When 1 shooter has scored 4 goals, everyone rotates again.
  5. The first shooter to score 10 goals wins.
Change-over: There is a change-over when one shooter has scored 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 goals.
Afterwards the shooters become attackers and vice versa.
Let the winners, completed with the other highest scores, play a final.
drawing Shotgun order changing declarants
Per basket 2 teams of 2: (mark shot distance with cones)
  • Per team a declarator/rebounder and shooter
  • The aim is to score 5 times as shooter, then you earn 1 point for your team
  • When 1 of the 2 teams has a point, both teams switch functions and start again with the goal to score 5x
  • The team which has 3 points first, wins
Pay attention to the basic technique of the shot. Important to execute well. Often players have the tendency to shoot fast under time pressure.
drawing Shotgun
  • 1 shooter and 2 or 3 attackers, each with a ball.
  • Shooter is bombarded with balls and shoots as fast as possible.
  • After 90 sec switch
