2.03 SHOOTING

(l) POINT SHOOTING

Shooting exercises where the type of shot changes constantly

Two, three or four players per korf, with the players shooting in turn. After each exercise, the players move on to the next korf. The posts are spread out and the groups choose a korf each; differing numbers in each group is not a problem. The trainer always sets a target (see below for a few examples). The group that reaches the target first scores a point. Then the groups all move on to the next post. This is especially valuable outdoors to require adjustment for factors such as wind, sun etc. The winner is the group that has acquired most points after, for example, 15 minutes.

Appropriate targets are the following (though should be lower for less experienced groups). In each case the number refers to the number of goals that must be scored:

• 20 running-in shots
• 20 “chances” (shots from close to the korf where the ball was collected)
• 10 shots from six metres
• 20 distance shots from behind the korf
• six veering-off shots to the left
• six veering-off shots to the right
• 20 penalties
• 10 consecutive running-in shots (which means if a running-in shot is missed, the score goes back to zero)
• eight shots moving away from under the korf.

“Silly” targets are also good for this organisation:

• five penalties with eyes closed
• 10 running-in shots with one hand
• five goals while the shooter is sitting on the ground
• 10 running-in shots when the ball is rolled to the shooter
• 10 goals shooting over one’s head from half a metre in front of the korf.

The competitive element is very important in the above, making the drills less suitable for improving technique.
