Korfball drills for technique shoot / score / shot

• Per pair at a basket.
• Start with 2 distance shots and score pp then get an assignment card from the trainer.
• Add up the points on the cards.

• Pairs,
• running around the circle of pawns.
• When you hear a 'YES' you have to pass the ball as fast as possible.
• After scoring three times you may switch with the attacker.
• After that with pulling away under the pole of the declarer,
• If you score as declarer you may remain standing,
• Otherwise you change with the taker.

In brief:

• Shooting exercise (-game) in which shots are made from different sides of the basket.

Organisation:

• Per basket one pair with one ball, or in case of lack of sufficient baskets 2 pairs with one ball each.
• At each basket four pawns or other markers:
  • 1 in front of and 1 behind the basket and
  • 1 left and 1 right of the basket,
  • always at about 6 metres distance.
• One of each pair starts under the basket.
• The other one's task is to score a goal from every pawn as quickly as possible.
• After that, they will switch functions.
• Which pair will be quickest to finish 'the trip around the world'?

• The penalty throw can be practiced immediately in its entirety.
• The pressure of having to score at the penalty box can be imitated in different ways:
  • Scoring ten in a row, counting again if missed.
  • Which group will have the highest number of penalty throw, score 2 points and miss 1 point,
  • who is the first to have 20 points,
  • which player scores the most in 10 attempts.
• This exercise is all about technique.
• Also in the game only the technique is decisive whether or not a player scores.
• There is no time factor or defender.
• Set up the exercises so that it is not the time that is important, but the efficiency.

• 6 players, each under one post and the remaining players are going to run on/out/take short chances.
• First to the middle where there is a cap and then to a pole that is free.

• 2 players at 1 pole.
• Player 1 throws to player 2 comes next to him and shoots.
• Player 2 runs to the pole to catch the ball at once throws out to player 1 comes alongside and shoots. Etc.

• 2 players at 1 pole.
• Player 1 throws the ball on player 2 runs towards player 2, makes a diagonal move and runs into the depth.
• Player 2 catches the ball, throws at player 1 and runs in depth, so away from player 1.
• Etc.

• In front of the pole first move to the left get the ball (catch with left hand), throw back with left hand.
• Move to the right (catch with right hand), throw back with right hand.
• Again to the left and shoot. One player does this until he or she has scored 3 times and then change.

In short: practice various forms of the shot in a fun competition format.

Organisation:

• Each group has a basket and a ball, the baskets should preferably (but not necessarily) be arranged in a circle or rectangle.
• The number of people per group is less important (all groups should be about the same size).

The first assignment for the groups is:

• score 10 goals with a walkthrough.
• When you are done, the creator of the last goal goes to the trainer to get the next assignment.
• Which group will have completed all assignments first?

The trainer walks around in the mean time,

• giving encouragement or correcting here and there.
• He has a piece of paper with a list of assignments.
• When someone comes to get the next assignment, first ask him which assignment he just did (it can vary a lot after a while) and then give the next one.
• A sample list:
  • 10 passing balls,
  • 15 penalty shots,
  • 10 shots from 5 meters,
  • 10 through balls from behind the basket,
  • 5 dodge balls next to the post,
  • 5 shots from 4 meters behind the basket,
  • 5 small chances with 1 hand.
  • Everything is possible of course, a lot of momentum comes when the number of goals to be scored is kept small.

Between two posts

• Player starts to run and halfway he gets the ball from trainer 1,
• Immediately passes to trainer 2 and runs to the basket.
• There he gets the ball from trainer 2 and tries to score with a shot.
• tries to score with a shot.

In brief:

• Practicing various forms of the shot in a fun competition format.

Organisation:

• Each group has a basket and a ball, the baskets are next to each other.
• The first assignment for the groups is: score 10 goals.
• In the meantime the trainer walks around all over the place, giving encouragement or correcting here and there.
• He has a piece of paper with a list of instructions.
• If someone comes to get the next assignment, first ask which assignment has just been completed (this can vary considerably over time) and then give the next assignment.

Tasks:

• Make 10 goals, in front of the basket.
• Throw over 15 times with 2 hands.
• Scoring 8 goals, behind the basket
• Pass the ball 15 times with 1 hand.

• Make two or more groups depending on the size of the group.
• 3 pawns per group
• When a player scores he/she may take a pawn from another group. The first player to get all or a certain number of pawns.
