• 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).

• The ravens try to tag the rats.
• Who tags their personal opponent the most?

Objective

• Practicing the running-in shot from challenging situations.

Organisation

• Groups of three or four per korf.
• One or two players under the korf, two in front.

Execution

• After passing, run forward and take a running-in shot, then rotate positions.

Variants

• Bounce running-in shot: Running-in shots are passed with a bounce.
• Delayed overhand running-in shot: The pass is delayed, take overhand running-in shots.
• Delayed sideways running-in shot: The pass is delayed, run left or right past the korf and bring the ball sideways or diagonally backwards upwards. When pushing off with the right leg, the movement is smoother and the shot more accurate if you run past the post on the left.
• Durk Bergsma shot: The pass is delayed, run past the post and sling the ball with one hand over the head into the korf.
• Delayed jump running-in shot: The pass is delayed, take the running-in shot in a jump.
• Early long pull shot: The ball is passed too early, take a 'long pull shot' with a long floating moment.
• Rolled ball: The ball is not thrown but rolled.
• Show movement: The ball is passed slightly too early, bring the ball once around the body before shooting.

Variations

• Space passing: The pass is no longer made from under the korf, but from the space approximately 5 meters diagonally in front of the korf.
• Long distance: The passer stands more than 20 meters from the korf.
• With defender: All exercises with a defender at the taker of the running-in shot.

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.
