Korfball drills for technique shoot / score / shot

In short: practicing various shooting variants in a fun competition form.

  • Organization: per group a basket and a ball, the baskets are preferably (but not necessary) arranged in a circle or rectangle.
  • The number of persons per group is less important (but all groups are about the same size).
  • The first assignment for the groups is: score 10 goals.
  • When you have completed this assignment, the person who scored the last goal runs to the trainer to pick up the next assignment.
  • Which group completed all assignments first?
  • The trainer walks around, encouraging, or correcting.
  • He has a piece of paper with him with a row of assignments on it.
  • When someone comes to pick up the next assignment, first ask which one has just been done (this can vary considerably over time) and then hand out the next assignment.
  • An example list: 10 walk-through balls, 15 penalty shots, 5 8-meter shots, 10 walk-through balls from behind the basket, 5 dodge balls next to the pole, 10 6-meter shots.
  • Everything is possible of course, a lot of momentum is gained if the number of goals to be scored is kept small.
  • 10 walk-through balls
  • 20 small oppertunities
  • 6 remote shots
  • 10 penalty throws
  • 1 backwards


  • 4 against 4.
  • Pay attention to the basic set-up, to the ball pace and to the movement of the players, so that there is not just one attacker moving.
  • Make the game more surprising by moving the ball, pulling the ball away, throwing it deep, etc.

You will play matches with even numbers, but instead of earning points by scoring, you can also earn points by catching the ball.

  • Goal is worth 1 point
  • Catching the ball after a shot(rebounding) 2 points
  • Put four caps around the basket at a distance of 4 meters.
  • 1 in front 2 on either side of the basket and 1 behind the basket.
  • The players at the front/back are 1 team and the player on either side of the basket are 1 team.


Option 1:

  • A shot is taken by a random player all 4 players try to grab the rebound.


Option 2:

  • There is shot by a random player all 4 player try to grab the rebound.
  • Once the ball is caught by a player he has 2 choices: He shoots the ball directly at the basket himself or he places the ball directly on his teammate and he takes the shot.
  • The players stand on their toes and then tap the ground with their heels.
  • They repeat this 30 times, doing this exercise twice.
  • The ball is in front of the basket.
  • The player at the pylon throws the ball to the basket for a through ball.
  • You have to run and throw at the same time.
  • 4 Baskets in a row (5 metres apart), a pylon 10 metres in front of the basket, pairs with 1 ball per basket.
  • 1 player in front of the basket with the ball near the pylon.
  • (Change every goal).
  • A goal may only be scored by means of a deep line (run through from deep) or by what was trained in the previous drill.
  • In each section there are two couples, a lady and a gentleman.
  • In each pair a good (least bad) attacker must be represented.
  • When one of the couples cuts in front of the pass, the other one takes the rebound by cutting over the block. The other pair must then be able to shoot through the 1v1 duel.
  • 1 to 1, four players of equal strength at a post.
  • Each player attacks for one minute or switches when two goals are scored.
  • Everyone is allowed to attack twice, whereby the following is allowed at the separate turns:
  • 1st turn: only shoot
  • 2nd turn: everything is allowed, including the walkthrough ball.
  • Two people per post.
  • One on the penalty spot, one under the basket.
  • The ball is thrown by the person under the basket and the person in front of the basket shoots quickly.
  • If you shoot 50% you can keep shooting.
  • This for 8 minutes.
  • Pairs together on 1 basket.
  • One person in front of the basket at 2,5 to 3 metres, one player in front of the basket at 6 metres.
