2.03 SHOOTING

(g) SHOOTING IN PAIRS

Exercising all forms of shot in pairs by a korf. Ideal for learning or improving technique

Per pair, a korf and a ball. Cones may be used. After 1-2 minutes change functions.

A. Underhand running-in shots, first in front of the korf, then from behind etc. The shooter therefore runs in a figure of eight.

B. As A, but with overhand running-in shots, running-in shots in the air (with a jump) or running-in shots from longer distance (where the assist is played too soon).

C. Distance shots in movement.

D. Distance shots from close by or from great distance.

E. Shooting while constantly changing position (direction and distance) with the shooter always in movement around the korf.

F. Veering-off shots to the right, to the left, alternating sides, from close, from far etc.

Above just a selection of shot forms is given. More developed forms can also be used (see, for example, “developing standard exercises in groups of three”).

By moving away from the match situation and through the fact that the shooter does nothing but shoot for a minute or more, this allows full concentration on the shot and therefore to take care to utilise correct technique, and to correct errors of distance and direction. Above all, each player gets a great deal of practice. In short, exercises to improve the shot. Comments and corrections from the trainer are also appropriate.

If korfs are limited, two pairs can work at each post.
