Handball drills

  • 2 Benches face each other, between 6 and 8 meters apart
  • On every bench there are 4 to 6 pawns
  • There are 2 teams who must try to knock off the pawns by throwing them over.
  • Pawns that have fallen down can be taken to your own side
  • The team that has all the pawns wins
Outdoors:
  • Place the pawns in bicycle tires, where you are not allowed to stand inside.

  • Keeping arms forward, small rotation with hands, not extreme stretching.
  • Slowly jog across the field, arms forward, backward, twisting against each other
  • Arms crossed in front of the chest, alternating up and down
  • Arms wide and turn small circles
Question: which muscles do you feel when?

  • 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
  • You make 2 teams
  • 1 team starts with the ball and tries to tap the other team with the ball.
    • They have to pass and are not allowed to run
    • The other team tries to intercept the ball
  • When the ball is intercepted, they can continue playing immediately
  • If you tap someone you get 1 point
Who has the most points at the end?
  • All players run through each other in a smaller field (10x10).
  • They run the ball at speed, which they do for about 2 minutes
  • Afterwards they do an exercise after they played
    • Lie flat on their stomach and get up again
    • Squat 2 times
    • 2 times jumping jacks
You indicate which exercise they should do


  • 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


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

  • You place 4 pawns in a square approx 6x6m.
  • Players are divided at the pawns, possibly in a row.
  • One player gets the ball, walks slowly to the next pawn and throws the ball to the first player at the next pawn who has also started walking.
  • As soon as the ball is caught, the first player at the next pawn starts walking and catches the ball again, etc.
  • Important, players do not walk sideways but forwards and bend their upper body sideways.
  • Make sure the players throw the ball into the hands of the next player.
  • The higher the speed of the exercise, the further in front of the player the ball must be thrown.
  • The exercise can be performed at all speeds, walking and running.
  • You have 2 teams on a volleyball field with a small goal at the back of each field.
  • One player stands at either end and the other players stand at the sides of the court.
  • One player throws the ball at the opponent's goal, the player who throws goes out and another player of the team goes in.
  • The goalkeeper takes the ball and then throws it at goal and goes out.
  • It goes on like this all the time.
  • If you score, your team gets a point.
  • With a jump shot you are not allowed to land over the middle line.



drawing Throwing and shooting
  • Place a medicine ball in the middle.
  • A few meters away, two players stand opposite each other.
  • Try to hit the medicine ball with your handball so it rolls over the line.
  • The first player to get the medicine ball over the line wins.

All players divide themselves into 2 rows behind the bench (bench is on the 9 meter line).

  • The first 2 players stand on the bench.
  • Jump off with 2 feet at the same time.
  • Then make a passing move left of the post and pass on the right side of the post.
  • Finish on goal. (Place pawns in the corners of the goal)
  • All players line up with the ball near the centre line
  • Everyone takes turns to throw at the goal
  • Throwing from position, from the run and with a jump shot
  • Pay attention to the way of throwing
