2.03 SHOOTING

(f) CIRCUITS AROUND THE KORF

Exercising standard shooting forms in a route around all of the korfs.

Each korf has a fixed assist player with the ball. The remaining players (the shooters) spread themselves around the space available. Different types of organisation are possible: see the four figures. After each shot, the shooters move automatically to the next korf.

All of the exercises used in Standard Exercises in Groups of Three are now performed. The changing of functions can take place, for example, after two or three circuits or when one of the shooters has scored ten goals. Another way of changing the functions: after a shooter misses a running-in shot (or does not at least hit the korf from a distance shot) that player becomes the assist player and the others carry on as normal. After two minutes, which players have still not given the assist?

The following exercises involve other forms of completing the circuit and changing functions:

1. The shooter makes a veering-off movement. The assist player passes the ball, immediately moves away from the post, receives the ball back and shoots. The other player rebounds the shot and becomes the assist player. The player who has just shot moves on to the next korf.
2. “Switching”: the shooter tries for the running-in shot but we imagine that s(he) is defended. The ball is therefore passed back to the assist player who has taken a few quick paces in a direction diagonally behind the korf. This player shoots and moves on to the next korf (to try for a running-in shot etc.).

The exercises described here are, above all, intended to maintain the shot and – if the distances and the number of korfs involved are large enough – to improve shooting and running condition. If the emphasis is to be on fitness, tell the shooters not to do everything at one pace but always to accelerate for each new movement. If stamina is to be worked on, do not change the assist players too frequently.
