2.03 SHOOTING

(m) TWO KORFS OPPOSITE EACH OTHER

Exercising different types of shot where shooting is at two posts placed opposite each other

The posts are placed 15-25 metres apart. Each korf has three, four or five players and one ball.

A. The Number 1 players from each korf run to the other post and take a running-­in shot (different forms: underarm, overarm, while jumping etc). The assist is given by the Number 2 players, who then run to the other side to take their shot.

B. As A, but with a feinting movement before the running-in shot.

C. As A, but Number 1 stops three metres in front of the korf to take a stationary shot.

D. As C, but veering-off shots to the left or the right.

E. As A, but after Number 1 receives the ball, (s)he passes to Number 2 who has moved quickly away from the korf and shoots (“switch” situation).

With a large distance between the posts and not too many players per korf, these exercises are good for running fitness.

F. Numbers 1 begin in the direction of the other korf, but turn around each other in the middle to shoot in their own korf (both turn to the left or both turn to the right).

G. As F, but now the Number l players touch each other in the middle before returning to shoot in their own korf. The stopping movement in the middle should be made with both right and left legs alternately.

Exercises F and G also work on turning, stopping and accelerating from a stationary position. Exercise F initially leads to a lot of hilarity, especially when exercise H is added.

H. The players make a complete turn around each other and shoot as in exercises A to E, in the opposite korf.
