2 against 2 Street korfball

Dear Ben,
yesterday at the training we tried Your 2 on 2 Street Korfball. It was big fun, we have enjoyed it a lot.
The reason why I like it is that
1. 4 people is enough to play a game
2. players always have to work hard, otherwise playing is almost impossible
3. it makes players focused on scoring very much
4. it emphasizes the importance of the attacking moves and good passing
5. it is a very fast game with a lot of actions - when the opponent gets the ball, the action starts again immediately (the 4 passes can be made very fast)
6. it is tiring - good for the stamina
7. players have to get rid of their old thinking patterns that they learned in "normal" korfball - they have to adapt their thinking to the new situation

+1. and it is fun :)

All the best from Budapest under the snow, and see You in Herentals this evening?

Dear Bandor,
You are right by the summary of the strong points. But there is more:
We (PKC) play 2 against 2 very often:
1. Important for korfball skill.
2. Tempo of passing is lower than the tempo of running.
3. Players are more focussed on making goals than on control of ball possession. So they have to take (small) risks.
4. There are two patterns:
a. the post is centred so the defender should take risk to stay in 1-1 and see the ball;
b. One of the attackers wants to come to the wolf position and assist the Tiger.
Friday afternoon I will come to EC in Herenthals!
Best regards,
Ben
