Korfball drills for technique warming-up
Place 2 poles directly opposite each other.
Under each basket one player with ball and one player without.
Under each basket one player with ball and one player without.
- The player without ball runs clockwise to the cone halfway diagonally across the court.
- The ball is passed along in the run and passed to the declarer under the other basket.
- Walk-through ball follows, self-catching.
- Exercise repeats.
- Players without ball run straight at each other. After a jump they go sideways to the cone.
- There they continue without a pointer to the swerve on the other basket.
- The shot is followed by a follow-through that is self-caught. Then you switch.
- The player in give-up throws the ball away with backspin. The player without the ball runs to the ball and tries to catch it for the 2nd bounce. Make sure the ball is not thrown too far.
- After catching, turn and pass to the supplied player, followed by a swerve with a shot.
- Then run for a through ball at the other post, catching yourself.
- Players start on the back line in 1 row.
- Each line is numbered from 1 to 7.
- I call a number each time and they have to run to it in sprint.
- Vary between forwards and backwards.
- First without ball and then with ball.
Per 2 or 3 players:
- Timing is important. Work with fixed function
- With 3 players, player blue is the declarer, player red is going to take a through ball, player white makes sure the action for the shot is started at the right moment.
- Then player red also goes to drop in again at the right moment.
- Exchange after 10 actions.
- With 2 players, the shooter of the ball is also the one who catches the ball.
- After a rebound, the ball is passed to the shooter and the player under the basket goes out again.
- Ball is played laterally and support is called again for the through ball.
- Change after 7 chances -2x-.
- Players spread out in a box
- All players, except the ticker, have a ball
- The ticker tries to tap everyone.
- If a player is tagged, he or she goes to the posts to score.
- If successful, the player returns to the box.
- If a player drops the ball, they are also out.
Variations through different ways of holding the ball.
Distributed all over the field, players start and make the round as shown
