Korfball drills for technique warming-up

Poles in a circle around the centre spot, about 10 metres away (reasonable walking distance).
Under each pole, 1 person with ball.
Rest in the middle.

  • On a free post take a walkthrough ball.
  • Every 3 goals you change places at the basket.
  • After each walkthrough, return to the middle.
  • If necessary, vary with substitutions/short chances, etc.

Divide the total group into equal teams of 2, 3 or 4
.Each team has 1 pole as their "Home Base".

  • We start with 1 ball.
  • Teams will attack each other's baskets.
  • If a basket is scored on, that team is out.
  • Continue until there is only one basket left. They win this game.
  • At will put extra balls in the game for tempo.
  • Lift your knees,
  • heels buttocks,
  • arms swinging while walking sideways,
  • Swing your arm forward during the run
    • swing the same arm halfway back and then switch arms,
  • sprint back and forth,
  • cross stride.

After this warming-up stretching. This needs to be explained properly.

  • The exercise is done in pairs.
  • For every pair there is a basket in a circle/square.
  • With a group of 16 players, there are 8 baskets in a square/round/oval formation.
  • Each pair has 1 ball. The aim of the game is to score twice on all the baskets.
  • Each pair starts at its own basket. Shooter 1 is going to score a goal, as soon as a goal is scored, the players change and shooter 2 starts shooting.
  • When 2 has also scored, the pair moves to the basket, regardless of whether the pair is still playing there or not.
  • At this basket, shooter 1 starts again and tries to score a goal as fast as possible.
  • As soon as he or she scores, the players swap places and shooter 2 starts shooting again.
  • When he has also scored, the pair moves on to the next basket.
  • The exercise continues until each pair has returned to its own basket.
  • It may happen that three pairs are working at a basket and two baskets are empty.
  • This is not a problem, the players just have to be careful with where they throw.

Set-up:

Three poles in a triangle from each other. On the left of each pole a hat and in the middle a hat. Under each pole one person with ball. The rest by the hat in the middle.

Exercise:

Run from the middle to a hat. There you receive the ball from the passer, play it back and make a run through. The person who runs through stands under the post and the bitch goes to the middle to turn.



  • 2 teams of 3 players.
  • One team throws to each other by running free.
  • Defenders try to intercept.
  • All players line up.
  • The first two players have a ball.
  • Player 1 starts shooting, when he has shot, player 2 may also start.
  • If 1 scores before 2, he may go to the back.
  • If 2 scores before 1, 1 is out and must go to the side.
  • The last two players must start at the same time and score 3 times.
  • The one who gets 3 first wins.
  • The poles are 8 meters apart,
  • four poles.
  • Between two poles she has to sprint and between the next two poles she has to jog.
  • Then sprint again and then jog.

2 laps run without a task

1 circle of short sides skipping

1 lap short sides heels bottoms

1 lap at your hardest

You run back and forth from cone to cone. Thereby different exercises are done. For example, running to the front and back from the back.

  • 10 shots on the wide line
  • 15 through balls
  • 15 pull-aways

Place a number of cones/caps 2 to 3 metres apart. Make two rows of cones and divide the team into two groups.

The exercise is quite simple. Two pawns spinning and one pawn in defensive position back. Then repeat the exercise again, so two pawns forward and one pawn back.
