Split Class into playing groups of 6 players in a circle about 3 metre radius around the korfball posts. Place down spots so students will know where to stand.
Each group will need 2 or 3 balls for each game. Children practise shooting into the basket, making sure everyone gets turns for 5-10 minutes.
Focusing on the correct technique: Balance, Face the korf throughout, Underarm shot (both hands)Hands on the sides of the ball, fingers only, take-off leg slightly behind, forward and upward motion, take-off leg and arms in one movement, release ball at highest possible point, arms extended
