Korfballexercises for u20
Execution
- Player A cuts inside to take a running-in ball.
- Player B passes the ball to player A.
- Player A catches their own ball and takes over player B's position.
- Repeat the process.
- Make the exercise more challenging by having the player who passes the ball also catch the ball themselves.
Formation
- 4 or 5 players per korf
- 1 feeder
- 1 defender on the feeder
- 2 attackers
- The feeder attempts to get into position while the defender applies front defence.
- Attackers must play in such a way that they can pass to the feeder and put the defender out of play.
- Continuously shift the play.
- If the feeder can be passed to, make a move and switch roles.
- Play the feeder out by passing the ball over them.
- Or move away to behind the korf.
Formation
- Three players per korf: one shooter and two rebounders.
- Rebounders stand behind the korf at a distance of 3 or 4 meters, depending on their level.
- Of the two rebounders, one is an attacker and one is a defender. Agree in advance who has which role.
- The shooter stands in front of the korf and calls "yes".
- At that moment, both rebounders may move towards the korf to take the correct position.
- When the attacker indicates that he/she is in a good position, the shooter may shoot.
- After three rounds, switch positions.
- Pay attention to the positioning of the attacker and defender in the rebound.
- Ensure proper blocking out of the opponent.
- Do not agree in advance who has which role and let players count points separately for a certain number of rebounds.
- The shooter shoots at a random moment, after which the rebounders may react to catch the ball.
- The shooter also participates in catching and may pass to the attacking rebounder for a short chance if the shot fails.
Setup
- Divide the entire group into equal teams of 2, 3, or 4 players.
- Each team has one post as their "Home Base".
- Start with one ball in play.
- Teams attempt to score on each other's baskets.
- If a basket is scored upon, that team is eliminated.
- The game continues until only one basket remains.
- The team with the last remaining basket wins the game.
- Introduce additional balls into play to increase the pace as needed.
Setup
- Player 1 starts 6 metres from the post.
- Player 2 stands between Player 1 and the post, 2 metres from Player 1.
- Player 1 runs for a running-in shot.
- Player 2 must prevent the running-in shot by bending their knees well and moving immediately when Player 1 starts running.
- If Player 2 does not react immediately, Player 1 will no longer be able to be caught up.
- The objective is to prevent the running-in shot.
Organisation
- Pairs per korf. One fixed feeder and one fixed shooter, for example, four metres in front of the korf.
- The shooters are tasked with scoring 10 points as quickly as possible.
- A goal counts for two points.
- If a shot is missed, one point is deducted from the total (the total remains at 0 points if you are at 0 and miss).
- As soon as someone reaches 10 points, the players switch roles.
- For less advanced players, you can reward a goal with, for example, 3 points.
- For advanced players, you can make it more challenging by awarding only 1 point per goal.
- The distances can be increased or decreased as needed.
Preparation
- Set up a 3x3 grid with cones, leaving some space between them.
- Give each team 4 cones.
- Create two evenly matched teams and place them at a korfball post with a ball.
- Come up with a task they must perform at the post, such as shooting from a distance of 5 meters.
- For each successful shot, a team may place a cone.
- The team that first gets three in a row wins the game.
Execution
- All four corners are occupied, the ball starts at the left front.
- The ball is passed around once.
- When the ball is back with the first player, player three moves to the support position.
- The ball goes inside, player four moves into position for the rebound.
- Player one crosses with player two and takes a shot.
- Player two remains in motion and takes a short-range shot.
- Player one finishes with a running-in ball.
- The movement into position should not take too long.
- The crossing must be executed precisely.
- The passing must be accurate.
Setup
- Work in pairs or groups of three. In pairs, alternate turns; in groups of three, rotate positions.
- Place 6 cones around the korf, all at a distance of 6 meters.
- Which pair or group of three scores first 5 times with a running-in shot from each cone?
- Next, which pair or group of three scores first 2 or 3 times from each distance?
- Then, move the cones to a distance of 2 meters and let each player score 2 goals from each side.
Game Progression
- Divide the players into two teams.
- Silently assign each child a number within their team.
- Once everyone has a number, place the ball in the middle between the teams.
- Call out a number (or multiple numbers), and the children with that number try to be the first to bring the ball to their "camp".
- Once a child has picked up the ball in the middle, the other child may attempt to tag them.
Organisation
- 3-5 players per korf with two balls.
- Marker cone approximately 6 metres in front of the korf.
- Players are numbered and stand in order behind each other at the marker cone.
- Numbers 1 and 2 have a ball.
- Number 1 starts shooting and retrieves their own ball.
- If they score, they pass the ball to the next player.
- If they miss, they shoot again from the spot where they retrieved the ball until they score.
- The shooter joins the back of the line and waits for their next turn.
- Number 2 starts shooting as soon as number 1 has taken a shot.
- Number 2 continues shooting until they score, then passes the ball to the next player and joins the back of the line.
- If someone scores before the person who started before them, that person is out.
- Who remains the longest?
- There are 4 participants.
- Number 1 scores immediately, passes the ball to number 3, and joins behind number 4.
- Number 2 misses, and the ball rolls away.
- Number 3 scores, number 2 is out and no longer participates.
- Numbers 2 and 3 pass the ball to numbers 4 and 1.
- Number 1 waits to shoot until number 4 has taken their shot.
Game Progression
- Play a 4-against-4 match.
- The trained exercises are alternately incorporated into the game.
- The team that scores takes a free pass after a goal.
- If the free pass is successful, a penalty shot follows.
- Upon a successful penalty shot, the team may continue.
- After three interceptions, players switch roles.
