Korfball drills for technique warming-up

  • In a field of nine squares the aim is to make 3 in a row (butter, cheese and eggs).
  • Two teams have a pair of 2 players ready.
  • One runs to a square to occupy it, the other dribbles through the pawns and plays the ball to the square.
  • Only when the ball is received in the box it may remain there.
  • When both players of the team have run back, the next two may play.
  • 1 declarer throws the ball to the person in front of the basket then he takes a shot if the ball is caught under the basket he then goes inside and takes a through ball finally he then takes a short chance.
  • Point count:
    • Shot counts 2x
    • Walkthrough counts 1x
    • Short chance counts 1x
  • 5min long and then look per basket who has the most points = 2 times
  • there are 3 tickers.
  • The other players bounce to the center line,
  • the taggers try to tap the ball away.

In short: exercises in catching balls that bounce or roll at the right moment. This is to learn how to catch a ball as quickly as possible.

Organisation: One ball per pair.

  • The numbers 1 and 2 of each pair stand next to each other.
  • The trainer throws, rolls or bounces the ball a few metres away.
  • Number 1 and 2 have to get the ball, pick it up and pass it back as fast as possible.
  • The one who does this the fastest wins. After 5 times change.

  • make 2 groups
  • the attack takes the ball out to the trainers.
  • When the defence has intercepted the ball, they first pass it back to the trainers.
  • When a goal is scored, the team gets a bonus and can take the ball back out.
