Korfballexercises for technique shoot / score / shot

• Accurate shooting and building stamina.

• Start by sprinting up and down the width of the hall 5 times as quickly as possible.
• Then shoot 10 times from within 2 meters and count how many times you score.
• Alternate shots, so each person shoots 5 times.
• If you score 5 or more times (half of your number of single sprints), you may sprint up and down one less time, thus 4 times.
• Then shoot again and count how many times you score.
• If this is half or more of the number of times you have sprinted, you may reduce the sprints by one again.

• There are three players per korf with one ball.
• One player shoots the ball.
• The other two players stand under the korf and both try to catch the ball.
• The player who first reaches a certain number of points swaps with the shooter.

• There is a pair at each korfball post. The number of posts depends on the size of the group.

• Everyone starts by scoring twice on the korfball post.
• After scoring twice, they move to the next post.
• It may happen that there are two pairs at one post, as not everyone needs to rotate.
• The pairs only rotate when they have scored twice themselves.
• Place a marker in front of the post at a suitable distance for your team.

Objective

• Shooting exercise where shots are taken from different sides of the korf.

Organisation

• Per korf, one pair with a ball, or if there are not enough korfs, two pairs each with a ball.
• At each korf, place four cones or other markers: one in front, one behind, one to the left, and one to the right of the korf, each approximately 6 meters away.
• From each pair, one player starts under the korf. The other player scores a goal from each marker. Then they switch roles.
• Which pair completes the 'journey around the world' the fastest?

Variations

• The distances can be adjusted as desired, or two goals can be made from each marker.
• Instead of shooting from a standstill, shots can be taken on the move, or dodge shots can be used.
• Two pairs work per korf. The two shooters must score twice together at each marker, regardless of who scores the goals.
• Roles are switched after four times two goals.

Execution

• The exercise encourages shooting from different positions around the korf.
• It is important to shoot accurately, especially since shooting from the side or back is different due to the angle of the korf.
• Players may be noisy at first but quickly become focused and significantly improve their shooting skills.

• One player is active and stands approximately 3-4 metres in front of the post.
• The rebound player stands with the ball under the post.
• The active player receives the ball, shoots, and immediately runs to the back of the post.
• There, the player shoots again from a distance of 3-4 metres.
• Repeat the process by continuously moving from the front to the back of the post.
• After one minute, switch roles between the rebound and active player.

• Score 5 goals.

• The rebounder under the post competes against the shooter in front of the post.
• Which of the two players scores 5 goals first?
• The rebounder starts as the passer so that the shooter must shoot while moving outside the 6-meter area.
• The rebounder may only shoot if he or she catches the ball in one motion without a goal being scored.
• If someone scores 5 goals, switch roles.
• We play the best of 3 matches. At 2-0, it is finished.

• Increase or decrease the shooting distance to adjust the difficulty.
• Play with the number of goals they must achieve.
• To challenge the rebounder, they can start a few meters from the post.

• Score goals quickly enough, or you will lose the match.
• The rebounder must try to catch the ball in one motion.

In Brief: Practicing various shooting techniques from a supporting position.

• Organisation: Two players per korf: one fixed person under the korf and one in front. Switch after approximately 1 minute.

• Execution:
• a) The passer stands about 6 meters in front of the korf, the shooter begins under the korf. The shooter starts diagonally backwards, receives the ball and shoots immediately. The passer catches the ball.
• b) As in a, but the shooter feints a shot, causing the defender to jump in, and follows with an 'underhand pull shot' from about 5 meters diagonally behind the korf. The passer catches the ball.
• c) The shooter has a defender. The defender determines the opportunity: reacts too late (shot follows) or follows aggressively (opportunity for the pull shot).
• d) As in b, but the shooter moves sideways and makes a turn of almost 180 degrees towards the korf to take the pull shot. Can also start from a standstill.
• e) As in d, with a defender on the shooter. The defender rushes in aggressively.
• f) The shooter stands half a meter in front of the korf, defender between shooter and post. The shooter throws the ball with two hands backwards into the korf.
• g) The shooter stands half a meter behind the korf, with the defender in front. The shooter makes a feint throw, then shoots as soon as the defender turns around.
• h) The passer deliberately shoots over the korf. The shooter under the korf catches the ball and shoots immediately in one smooth motion.
• i) As in h, but now the person under the korf shoots directly from a jump.
• j) The passer shoots over the korf. The catcher lets the ball go over them, runs after it, and shoots with a half turn.

• Stay with your team on your own side of the field.
• Feeders rotate so that everyone keeps moving.
• The exercise should be performed with high intensity.
• Start at the cones. After cone 5, sprint to the first korf.
• The rebounder then sprints to the second korf and rejoins at the cones.
• Count the scores per team out loud to maintain the competitive element.

• Score 20 running-in shots.
• Cone exercises: slalom.

• Score 10 shots from 3-4 metres.
• Cone exercises: 2 cones forward, 1 cone backward.

• Score 20 short chances behind the post.
• The sprinter is indicated and passes back to the stepping-out rebounder under the post.
• Cone exercises: hopping over the cones.

• Score 10 shots from 4-5 metres.
• Cone exercises: jump skating over the cones, hold the landing briefly.

• Score 10 evasive shots.
• Cone exercises: jump at cones 1, 3, and 5 and squat at 2 and 4.

• 1 feeder under the post
• 1 attacker in front of the post
• 1 defender in front of the post

• The attacker starts 5-6 metres from the post.
• The attacker gets 3 attempts to score.
• If the attacker does not score, they remain and receive a different defender.
• Substitutions occur until the attacker scores.

• Form groups of 2 people per korf. Each group receives three playing cards. The playing cards are shuffled in advance, and the numbers 2 through 5 are removed from the deck.
• With the three received playing cards, the groups must try to get as close as possible to 31. The value of the cards is as follows: Six = six, Seven = seven, Eight = eight, Nine = nine, Ten = ten, Jack = ten, Queen = ten, King = ten, Ace = eleven.
• Examples: nine + jack + queen = 29 points or ace + jack + queen = 31, jack + jack + jack = 30.5.
• If the players have completed a series, they may exchange one of their cards for a new one to get closer to 31.
• The trainer sets a timer and says "stop" when it goes off. The team that is then closest to 31 wins.

• Running-in shots: three goals in a row.
• Short chance: four goals in total.
• Distance shot behind the korf: two goals in a row (4/5 meters).
• Penalty shots: three goals in a row.
• Round the korf: four goals on each side of the korf (3 meters).

• Each player has their own ball.
• There are 3 to 4 korfball posts in a row, depending on the number of players.
• All players start at the same post.
• After the countdown, they all begin shooting.
• If a player scores a goal, they may move to the next post.
• If a player misses, they remain at the current post until they score.
• Depending on the skill level, it can be agreed that players must have been at each post 1, 2, or 3 times.

• Use cones to create a circle outside of which the players must shoot.
• Players may only enter the circle to catch the ball.

• 1 post
• 1 ball
• 4 cones in a square
• 9 players: 4 attackers, 4 defenders, 1 feeder

• The 4 attackers stand in a square at the cones around the korf.
• The 4 defenders hold the post with one hand.
• The feeder stands with the ball outside the square of cones.
• The feeder passes the ball to an attacker.
• The defender opposite the attacker who receives the ball must run around the cone.
• The attackers try to score quickly by finding the free player.
