The direction of the game
The direction of the games is initially centred from outside to inside and from inside to outside.
These are the main axis of the game.
Shooting and scoring are the most important tasks in korfball. Shooting and scoring determines the direction of the game. Shooting and scoring takes place over the main axis's. A main axis is the line , which can be drawn between the korf and the attacker. Receipt of the ball by a Tiger is a direct line while facing the korf, is an immediate threat to a Guard as he is in a shooting position.
Main axis in the game precede width axis.
A pass of the ball over a main axis from inside to outside places pressure on the defence, because the Tiger receives the ball in a position to shoot. A top Tiger is a master at requesting a ball over that main axis whilst he is still under strong defence of the Guard. When a high pass is coming over the main axis, the Tiger can withdraw from the Guard and so the Tiger can come in a shooting position. A pure shot followed like a flash.
Width axis is the entire imaginary axis that is vertical on the main axis and binds these axis together. The movement of the Tiger in such a width axis will be worthwhile and creates defensive tension when there is a move from one main axis to another. Throwing the ball over a width axis will have real tension if the Tiger recieves the ball when he is centred on the axis.
