Shot Clock / Korfball

Shot clock for korfball

25 seconds per attack, one tap to reset when the ball hits the korf.

Preset: 25 seconds per attack. Change it anytime.

The rule

In korfball the attacking team has 25 seconds to shoot. The clock is reset when the ball touches the korf or the post, after a score, and when possession changes. The IKF rules of korfball describe the exceptions.

Korfball is where this clock started. It began as a free shot clock for Dutch clubs, built by a coach who wanted a shot clock at every training without carrying hardware around.

In practice

The KORF button resets the clock without stopping it, which matches how the game flows. Set it to a shorter time to make an attack play faster, or give the defense a target: hold the attack past 15 seconds.

Two screens on one remote work too. Put one clock at each end of the hall, or a second one at the bench, by opening the short link on a second device.

Want reps on the clock? Drill mode in Pro runs the clock, the rest and the next rep for you. Ideas: shot clock drills.

On match day

Training is the default: free, with the times you choose. For games, match mode in Pro follows IKF timing. The reset buttons become 25 (reset and stop) and 25 (korf touched, keeps running).
