streetkorfball

Hi Ben,
Here I am again with some feedback on the 2-2 street korfball. I noticed that the players were not focused enough on scoring, they were just passing the ball around, and made no real attacking movements.
That is why I made a new rule for them: they have to make 4 passes before scoring when they get the ball, but they are not allowed to make more than 7 passes before they make a shot. If after the 7th pass they make no shot (or a shot that doesn't touch the korf) they lose the ball.
In this way they were motivated to shoot from the smallest possible chances, and to agree with each other that the other goes immediately for the rebound when he/she sees that his/her teammate can shoot.
In this way we had a fast, action-packed game again.
All the best from snowy Budapest!

Hi Bandor,
We play this game without the rule of defense; the players are only allowed to obstruct a shot. This rule can make the game tricky while it will help to increase the players ball handling skills. I think that the 4 passes before being allowed to score can be reduced to 2 passes. But this choice also depends on the skill of the players.

Tactic:
The attacking Players must play with the pole between them. The pole is in the center. This will make it less easy to intercept the ball when the players have also defend 1-1. The players will be forced to take risks and I think that taking risks belongs to this funny game. The game is an excellent tool to learn to balance between risk and control.
Success,
Ben
