In this section, students will learn and practice the proper form for shooting in Korfball. Begin by demonstrating the correct shooting technique, emphasizing the importance of stance, hand positioning, and follow-through. Explain how to maintain balance and use the legs to generate power.

Next, have the students spread out in pairs or small groups around the court. Provide them with Korfballs and instruct them to practice shooting from various distances and angles. Start with close-range shots to build confidence before moving to mid-range and long-range attempts.

Encourage students to focus on their form rather than speed. Offer specific feedback to each student, pointing out areas for improvement and praising correct technique. Make sure to emphasize the importance of accuracy over power, and remind them to aim for the center of the hoop.

To add variety and challenge, set up cones or markers to simulate defenders, requiring students to adjust their shots accordingly. Rotate through the groups to ensure all students receive individual attention and guidance.

Teaching Points
  • Stance: Feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
  • Hand Positioning: Dominant hand under the ball, supporting hand on the side.
  • Follow-Through: Extend arms fully and flick wrists upon release.
  • Balance: Use legs to generate power, keeping the body stable.
  • Accuracy: Aim for the center of the hoop, focusing on precision.
Assessment

Observe each student's shooting form and provide constructive feedback. Look for improvements in accuracy and consistency as they practice. Use praise to reinforce positive behaviors and correct technique. Adjust drills as necessary to match the skill level of the students, ensuring everyone is challenged and engaged.
