Handball drills for technique defense
- Large thick mat.
- 1 player lies on the mat and tries to intercept balls directly or indirectly.
- Always kneeling or lying position.
- 2 duos are facing each other, in between is parallel a line marked with 2 poles.
- There stands a 5th player who tries to intercept the balls, which are passed with bounce.
Good exercise for goalkeepers.
Make pairs with a ball.
- The one without the ball stands diagonally behind the one with the ball.
- The player with the ball tips the ball to the 9-meter line as quickly as possible. The player without the ball tries to tap the ball away.
Without making physical contact.
- Line up full team on one side, team without goalie on other side.
- Players will defend offensively and continue to watch for players behind.
- Interception is a point and goal is a point.
We play this to practice the previous exercises at high speed and in competition form.
- 3-vs-3 without circle. Point of attention in attack: lots of movement, don't hang on your spot. Point of attention in coverage: who steps out when.
- 3-vs-4 with circle. Cover is undermanned and tries to break the attack by taking the speed out of it.
- 4-vs-4. The coverage is now complete with a circle in their back. Again, focus on who has the circle at what time and when they should step out.
- 5-vs-5. Same as before only now first LH and then RH are involved.
- 2 Teams
- Players place themselves on call on both sides at the 5 defensive positions: LH-LO-MO-RO-RH
- Then run to attack position
- Then a minimum of 3 throws (e.g. MO-RO-RH-RO)
- Then shot at pawn
- Return to defense
- Players out, players in
- Back to offense
- Again at least 3 throws
- Shot on target, etc.
- Who is the first to knock over 3 pawns wins
- LO a line with ball
- RO a row
- In every deep corner 1 defender
- As soon as the builders start to run, the two defenders move to the middle as quickly as possible
- The team builders who are competing with the defenders are going to pressure well next to the man
- The defenders pay attention to a good defence, stepping out on the player with the ball and immediately back to the 6 when the ball is to the other player
- After rounding on the goal, the attackers become defenders. Do not go and get the ball!
- Defenders go into the deep corner again and two new attackers start
- Row of LO with the ball
- Two in the middle (every now and then new players in the middle)
- LO puts pressure and passes the ball to the MO who is starting
- LO runs backwards again with a good arc and keeps an eye on the game
- The MO puts pressure and passes the ball to the incoming LO who shoots at the goal
- The LO has to time the ball well. Do not start too quickly or too late.
- Everyone is allowed to round off a few times on the LO
Extension
- Trainer stands on the 6 on the middle on 3
- 1 defender at 2
- We do the same as before, but now the LO goes 1 on 1 with the defender
- At the moment that the MO puts pressure, the trainer says YES and the defender has to move aside quickly to tap the trainer.
- Then the LO starts to duel with the defender.
- When you have shot at the goal, you immediately stand up to defend, so do not go and get your ball!
- The previous defender joins behind the line LO and gets a ball from the goalie
- The two MO's have to be exchanged every time
4 players: 1 goalkeeper, 1 defender, 2 attackers
- 1 attacker tries to get to the goal line
- if the defender blocks well, pass back to player 2 (who stays behind a bit)
- Let the players change positions after every attack.
- Then a variation with 2 defenders
- Focus on free lines
- On both sides there are 2 defenders on the build-up position.
- 2 players in the middle and the rest spread out over the left and right positions.
- Builders have the ball and play it to the middle, get it back and pass the defender. (The ball may also be played back to the middle).
- Passing with 0 pass, or other feint.
- Centre plays both builders and then switches.
- The players can finish freely.
- 2 pairs.
- One (defensive) player on the dotted line.
- Other (attacking) player in front of them.
- The offensive player tries to pass the defensive player between the pawns (without ball).
- One (defensive) player on the dotted line.
- Other (offensive) player in front.
- The attacking player tries to pass the defending player between the pawns (with ball).
- Possible shot on goal.
- Attackers:
- Quick movement.
- Continue shot attempt even though someone is hanging on to you.
- Defenders:
- Keep attacking player in front of you.
- Grasping at upper arms.
- A normal game is played, however with a special rule.
- Everything remains the same, teams of 7 (6 field players + 1 goalkeeper) are made.
- As a team in a break-out.
- In a first or in a second phase they make a goal they may attack again.
- If they have scored in this way they may break out again at the centre builder.
- If a goal is scored in this attack, they have made 2 points in 1 attack.
- If they don't score, it's only 1 point.
- This continues until time is up.
- Change:
- You can also choose to reward a break-out.
- You can also choose to reward a break-out, first or second phase attack with 2 points instead of a new attack.
