Handball drills

• Distribution over the middle build-up, left build-up and right build-up
• Opposite to each striker is 1 defender and a goalkeeper in goal
• Play 3 against 3 
• Instruct attacking team to perform passing movements, start without ball, shoot from a distance
• Instruct defending team: tapping the ball, defending frontal  

• Make groups of six divided into pairs
• Each group of six has 1 ball
• Blue will attack Red and Red will defend. The blue pair will try to ground the ball behind the sideline.
• When this happens, the red pair will pick up the ball and attack on the opposite side of the white pair who are now the defenders.

• Ball is played around
• Right plays the ball to the (left starting) middle  
  • If necessary, the middle with ball 3 (bounce) can make a pass to the corner
• Left attacker starts around the starting middle and finishes on target
  • Left takes over position from middle
  • if the starting middle turns towards the starting left attacker, the left attacker can play the ball back if necessary.

• Divide over left & right with one ball
• Each time you cross over
  • Sprinting to the pole 
  • Connect at the back of the row 

• Mini field / 1 ball
• Divide the group into 2 equal teams (each team starts on the back line of the mini field) 
• Try to get the ball behind the opposing team's back line (by playing over/ running free).
• Team that is not in possession of the ball tries to intercept/tap out/possess the ball
• (you can make the exercise more difficult, by using a soft ball (that doesn't bounce) and don't let them run (3 passes))   

  
  

  
  

• All players with ball on the middle line
• Player plays the ball to the trainer and gets it back while running.
• Player shoots the ball on target.       

         

  
  

         

• Bring the ball to the other side in pairs and score.
• Red brings the ball to the other side and tries to score.
• Start in pairs from the back line.
• At the moment red tries to score a goal, green is allowed to start to score a break-out at the other side as well.
• Red then defends back.
• When green has taken a chance they have to go back to defend the other two red players. 
• These of course start when green has taken a goal attempt. 
• This exercise can continue in current form because the players keep coming back on their own side. 
• You can do this on time (which group has scored the most goals?) or you can set a limit to a number of goals scored.

• Two small playing fields of about 1/8 of a handball court.
• All participants in one of the fields.
• Play the ball over continuously.
• The ball must not touch the ground.
• Participants must keep moving (dribbling).
• "Break" is called at unexpected moments;
• Then, all participants sprint to another field.
• Player with ball throws ball to other field and then sprints to other field.
• Game continues.

• All players divide themselves over the left and right corner (in pairs)
• The trainer shouts and at that moment the players on their own side sprint around the pilon.
• Once around the pilon, one of the two gets the ball and goes towards the goal.
• First, without a defender, then one defender and then two defenders

• Each striker has one ball and there is one defender defending a mat
• The striker passes the ball to the passing point and gets the ball back.
• From here the attacker makes a passing move: pull over, dragging, mock pass, nillpass, land on 1 leg following with the body
• The attacker has to push the ball onto the mat, when you've done it you walk through the ladder

• Distribution over the middle, left and right
• Opposing each striker is one defender and one goalkeeper in goal
• Instruct offensive team to make passing moves: nillpass, dragging, cutting & in the run (if you can think of more)
• Give the defending team the assignment: Defend frontal, defend in the right way

The field is divided into 5 (attack) zones. That is:

• Zone 1: RH
• Zone 2: RL
• Zone 3: ML
• Zone 4: LL
• Zone 5: LH
• H = high, L = low

• Try as much as possible to occupy every zone in the attack. 
  • e.g. start the RO in from zone 2 to 3, then the MO should take over the position in zone 2.
• Attention! 
  • This does not only apply to an in-starting player with ball. 
  • Positions of in-starting players without ball must also be taken over.
