Terms

• Pass – Just as in everyday conversation, a pass in korfballmeans an attempt to pull another player

• Shot – This means the same as “Pass”, beginners often use thesame technique for both

• Attacker – Someone on the pull

• Defender – Someone unwilling to be pulled

• Defended Shot – Occurs where a person prevents a shot from being successful by claiming to already have a partner

• Rebound Defense – When it is impossible to defend a shot, players may instead employ “rebound defense” where theyclaim to be on the rebound and thus not willing to be pulled.This is a risky tactic and many “attackers” will consider the

“rebound defense” to be vulnerable to a good “shot”



Terms

• Running-in shot – casual encounter which is usually over

before the defender has even worked out what‟s going on

• Veering-shot – hardest of all, the act of taking a shot from

the pavilion end

• Goal – The referee will award this for a shot that scores

• Blam – extreme rejection of a “shot”

• Contact – usually happens at the „post‟ where a player

uses untoward physical presence to gain an advantage in

collecting



Terms

• Out-of-hands – knocking over someone‟s pint. Free-pintawarded to the opposition

• Travelling – being a bit too obvious about cruising the“pitch” looking for a shooting chance

• Solo-play – Inevitable result of too many failed “passes”.Try to avoid this as the ref will award a free-pass to the

opposition and your team-mates will laugh at you• “Loose” – Commonly used term, when this is called out it

means that a defender‟s reputation suggests that s/he may be vulnerable to a good “shot”



• “Tight” – Here the reverse is true; the defender is likely to

“defend” a “shot”. However, the defender may bevulnerable to a “running-in shot”

• “Party” – When this is called, it is a sign for all the

defenders to have a party – in which they can make

“passes” at the attackers. • “Incoming” – Warning shout to your team-mates of the

overly hopeful approach of a “traveller”
