Korfball drills for technique warming-up

  • 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.

Complete team: One person is the ticker, and must tick off everyone. The other people have 2 balls at their disposal which they can pass around. You are not allowed to be tapped when you have the ball in your hands. So if the ticker is running to someone, you have to throw the ball to this player. Of course you are not allowed to hold on to the ball endlessly.

Exercise for the quick step, reaction time and coordination. Be the trainer in the middle with the children in a circle around you. For example 5 children, 4 x basket and 4 x ball.

Children walk around you in a circle in the direction that you indicate, you can also suddenly change direction for variety. Then dribble on the spot. When the trainer calls YES, the kids have to grab a ball as fast as possible and try to score on the basket. 1 child has no ball and is out. Then 3 balls and again, until there is a winner.

When the defence has intercepted the ball, they first pass it back to the trainers.


Nice variation of the original 'tag'. One child is the ticker. The rest runs away. The catcher tries to tag someone. When a child is tagged, he or she puts his or her hand on the spot that was tagged. Now the ticked child is the new ticker. If another child is ticked, he may take his hand away from his spot.


For example:
Child A taps child B on the shoulder. Child B puts his hand on the shoulder and tries to tap the next one. He taps child C on the upper arm and can again release his hand and just run away. Child C puts his had on his upper arm and starts tapping.
