Korfballexercises for technique general

• Score in one attempt in the other field within the lines.

• Two teams of up to four people.
• One ball.
• Two people stand in the field on each side, other players stand behind the baseline.

• Start with a simple underhand serve.
• We play underhand tennis, so the ball must go over the net in one attempt.
• A difficult ball may bounce once but must then be returned with: one hand, a foot, or the head.
• In case of an error: the player leaves the field to the baseline and a new player takes over.

• Divide the entire group into equal teams of 2, 3, or 4 players.
• Each team has one post as their "Home Base".

• Start with one ball in play.
• Teams attempt to score on each other's baskets.
• If a basket is scored upon, that team is eliminated.
• The game continues until only one basket remains.
• The team with the last remaining basket wins the game.
• Introduce additional balls into play to increase the pace as needed.

• Form groups of 2 people per korf. Each group receives three playing cards. The playing cards are shuffled in advance, and the numbers 2 through 5 are removed from the deck.
• With the three received playing cards, the groups must try to get as close as possible to 31. The value of the cards is as follows: Six = six, Seven = seven, Eight = eight, Nine = nine, Ten = ten, Jack = ten, Queen = ten, King = ten, Ace = eleven.
• Examples: nine + jack + queen = 29 points or ace + jack + queen = 31, jack + jack + jack = 30.5.
• If the players have completed a series, they may exchange one of their cards for a new one to get closer to 31.
• The trainer sets a timer and says "stop" when it goes off. The team that is then closest to 31 wins.

• Running-in shots: three goals in a row.
• Short chance: four goals in total.
• Distance shot behind the korf: two goals in a row (4/5 meters).
• Penalty shots: three goals in a row.
• Round the korf: four goals on each side of the korf (3 meters).

Summary:

• Exercises focused on catching balls at the right moment when they bounce or roll.

Organisation:

• One ball per pair or trio.

Execution:

• Pairs:
  • a) Number 1 rolls the ball a few meters away. Number 2 must acquire the ball as quickly as possible, pick it up, and throw it back. Switch after 5 times.
  • b) Number 1 throws the ball with a small arc so that it bounces approximately 4 meters away. Number 2 tries to catch the ball as quickly as possible after the bounce.
  • c) Number 1 drops the ball from a height of 1.5 meters directly in front of number 2. Number 2 tries to catch the ball as quickly as possible after the bounce. Note: place your hand on the ball as soon as it rises.
• Trios:
  • d) The passer stands in the middle and rolls the ball a few meters away. The others may run as soon as the ball is released. Who catches the ball first? Switch after 3 times.
  • e) As in d, but now the passer throws the ball with a small arc so that it bounces approximately 4 meters away. Who catches the ball first?
  • f) As in e, but now from under a korf. The one who catches the ball first may make a turnaround shot.
  • g) As in b, but now with trios. Who reacts the fastest?

In Brief

• A nice shooting exercise with a lot of running.

Organisation

• The korfs are placed in a circle.
• At each korf, there is a feeder with a ball.
• The rest of the players stand in the middle of the circle.
• Aim for 2 korfs per 5 players.

Execution

• Part a: The players in the center circle take running-in shots at one of the korfs. Those who are not fast enough must wait. Each player retrieves their own running-in shot and then looks for a free korf again.
• Part b: As in part a, but who scores 10 goals first?
• Part c: As in part b, but who scores a goal at each korf first?
• Part d: As in part b, but with overhead running-in shots.
• Part e: As in part b, but with a passing situation. The runner plays the ball back to the feeder who has moved away from the post. Who scores 5 goals first?
• Part f: As in part b, but the runner takes dodge shots. The feeder retrieves the shot and then tries to score themselves. Who scores 5 times first?
• Part g: As in part f, but after the dodging movement, no shot follows. The ball goes back to the feeder who shoots with a quarter/half turn.

Variation

• Add defenders. Which attacker scores 10 running-in shots or 5 goals from dodge shots first?

• The passer throws the ball to the person in front of the korf.
• The receiver takes a shot.
• If the ball is caught under the korf, the player moves inside for a running-in ball.
• Finally, the player takes a short chance.

• Shot counts for 2 points.
• Running-in ball counts for 1 point.
• Short chance counts for 1 point.

• Play until someone reaches 20 points first.
• Or play for 1 minute and see which korf has the most points.

• 1 declarer throws the ball to the person in front of the basket
• He then takes a shot
• If the ball is caught under the basket, he goes inside and takes a through ball
• Finally, he then takes a short chance
• Exchange by.
  • The person who aimed goes to indicate.
  • The declarer closes in behind.
• Point count:
  • Shot counts 2x
  • Walk through counts 1x
  • Short chance counts 1x
• You can play this as follows e.g. who reaches the 20 first
• Or 1 minute and then see who has the most points per basket

• 2 poles facing each other (each at 7 meters from the center line 4 poles side by side ).
• Each post has its own 2/3 team.
• The 2 players going for a through ball run towards the other pole.
• In the middle they run around the pylon (or around the center line).
• The players sprint back to their own post and take a through ball 40x scoring

• Instead of a through ball a pull away ball behind the post. 20x scoring
• instead of a through ball you take an away ball at max 3 m from the post 20x scoring
• instead of a through ball you pass the post and get the ball in front of you and shoot from the back 20x score

• 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-.

• Together score 9 go-arounds in a row.
  • In pairs make 6 go-arounds.
• Together score 6 run-throughs in a row.
  • Basket from 2 to 4.
• Together score 6 run-throughs, then together score 4 shots from movement from about 6 feet. Switch through after 2 shots.
  • Basket from 2 first together, score 4 through runners, then score together 4 shots from motion from about 4 meters behind the basket, change after 3 shots.
• First each score 1 through runner, then each score 2 penalty throws.
  • At basket of 2, someone scores 2 follow-throughs.
• First each score 1 follow-through, then each score 4 short chances under the basket.
  • At basket of 2, someone scores 2 through runners, and then each scores 6 short chances.

• Per 2 or 3 players.
• Timing is important.
• Work with fixed function.
  
  
• Per 3 players:
  • Player Blue is the declarer/ rebounder.
  • Player Red takes a through ball.
  • Player White makes sure that at the right moment, after the rebound the action for the shot is started.
    • Step away in time or swerve from the opponent.
  • Then the player Red, who has dodged away again, also drops in at the right moment.
  • Change after 10 actions of the shooters.
    • Runner goes to rebound.
    • Shooter goes through,
    • Rebounder becomes shooter.
    • Each 2x all functions.
      
• Per 2 players:
  • Taker catches the ball.
  • Operator keeps moving and after the catch makes a fierce move to get free for the shot.
  • After catch, the ball is passed to the shooter again and the player under the basket goes out again.
  • Ball is played to the off shooter who plays the ball right back and goes in for the through ball.
  • Change functions after 10 chances - 2x.

1. Passer with ball under the basket, attacker makes lateral run and gets the ball on the outside:
   1. Spin the ball around your body and replay to the declarer who brings a new support active (at 3-player, the rebounder comes in as the new declarer)
   2. Take a walkthrough ball
   3. Pass through for a shot opportunity behind the basket
2. Attacker with ball under the basket, attacker makes lateral run and gets the ball on the outside:
   1. Throw the ball behind your body over your shoulder and catch it again, pass to the attacker who brings a new support into play (in case of a triple, the rebounder becomes the new attacker).
   2. Go via an evasive move to the shot and then fall in.
   3. Inside-action is not played on, but starts in the backfield
   4. Instead of shooting, you bring the ball around your body, pass to the attacker again and make a through ball

• Per 3
  • Player blue is the attacker, player red is going to take a pass, player white makes sure that the action for the shot is started at the right moment.
  • Then player red is going to attack again at the right moment.
  • Change after 10 actions
• By 2
  • Run through ball is caught by the player, the ball goes out to be shot.
  • After catching the rebound, the ball is passed to the shooter again, and the player under the basket goes out again.
  • The ball is played laterally, and support for the through ball is called again.
  • Change function after 7 chances (2x).

• The game is played on 1 basket, in the middle of a half court.
  • 3 against 3 or 4 against 4
• When the ball is intercepted, it must first be worked towards one of the corners (in possession of the ball, 1 foot in the corner).
  • When working out, a shot may not be made all of a sudden, but at least one ball must be passed through first.
  • When the ball has gone outside, a foul is committed by the attacking team, or when the team resumes play after a goal, the ball does not have to be worked out but the position changes automatically.
• When a goal is scored from one of the corners, it counts for 2p. Every other goal counts for 1p.

  • Without ball inside for deflection, then run in for DLB.
  • When you have the ball, turn it around the body and finish.

• Number of times without opponent and then with opponents.
• You get one point for reaching the line.
• When the ball is intercepted, everyone stands on the same height as the player with the ball and then they can start.

• The teacher sets out three areas of approximately equal size with pawns.
• It is best to use the volleyball lines (see map).
• There are three sections (see map):
• Left: barons square (losers square)
• Centre: princes section (neutral section)
• Right: king of the court (winner section)
• All students stand in the middle section.
• With a signal from the teacher the game starts.
• All pupils have to try to tap/strike the ball of another pupil out of the box.
• If you succeed you move one square to the right.
• If your ball is knocked away you move up one square to the left.
• If you hit/tap someone's ball out of the box on the right you score a point.
• If your ball is knocked out of the winner's box you lose all your points.
• If your ball is knocked out of the left box nothing happens and you stay standing.
• When the teacher gives the final signal the person with the most points is king of the court and he/she has won.

• There are three players standing at a pole.
• Player 1 starts with the ball and throws to 2, 3 runs first short and then long, then gets the ball from player 2 and shoots.
• Player 1 catches and throws to player 2, player 2 throws to 3 and then player 1 runs the long line.
• This is how the process repeats itself.

Variations:

• Instead of shooting, player 1 cuts in and throws number 3 in and comes for the through ball
• Same as above, but then player 3 does not take a walkthrough ball but pulls player 1 away and takes a short chance

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.

  • We do this 3 times, then change under the pole

In short: nice shooting exercise with a lot of running.

Organisation:

• The baskets are placed in a circle.
• At each basket stands a server with a ball.
• The rest of the players stand in the middle of the circle (the middle must be clearly recognisable.
• There is often a circle in the hall,
  • A pylon must be placed on the field).
  • The number of baskets is very precise:
  • Aim for 2 baskets per 5 players.

Execution

• The players in the centre circle get the assignment to make a run through ball on one of the baskets,
• It does not matter which one.
• As there are more players in the circle than there are free baskets, it is important to find a free basket quickly.
• When you are not quick enough, you have to wait a bit.
• And when Johnny is already on his way to a basket, but is passed at the last moment by Marietje, who is running faster, Johnny has to go back to the centre circle and try again from there.
• Everyone catches his own ball.
• After passing the ball, each player runs through the centre circle or around the pylon to find a free basket again as soon as possible.
