Handball drills
- 2 teams are lined up facing each other on 1 half
- Coach bounces the ball and players run forward and back to their positions
- The attackers get the ball
- The defending team can intercept and score by putting the ball in the hoop near the center line
Run with backward throw:
- 2 players run slightly behind each other
- Front player throws ball by rotating forearm, upper arm stays in position
- Rear player throws forward again in the same way
- Match which duo catches the most behind each other
- Divide the group into two teams.
- The teams stand side by side with about five meters between the players.
- The players of each team stand behind each other, thus forming a line.
- The course of the game is a square.
- Team 1 starts in the far left corner of the square and team 2 starts at the same height in the far right corner of the square.
- Thus, the two teams stand horizontally on the same line.
- At the beginning of the game, the first two players from each team will compete against each other.
Game:
- At the coach's whistle, these 2 players begin to run and follow the lines of the square.
- They will run until they meet on their way.
- At that point they will have to fight for passage!
- This is how you do it:
- You play leaf-stone-scissors.
- Both players hold hands behind their backs and count down together: " 1 , 2 , 3 " and after 3 they each show a symbol:
- leaf: the hand outstretched
- stone: the hand clenched into a fist
- scissors: index finger and middle finger extended
- The leaf overcomes the stone, the stone overcomes the scissors and the scissors win on the leaf.
- Of course, when the same symbol is shown, you have to start counting again.
- The player who wins the leaf-stone-scissors game may continue walking along the lines of the square.
- The loser walks back.
- The goal is to get to the other team as quickly as possible!
- But: when someone loses, the next player from that losing team starts walking until he meets his opponent again.
- Then the leaf-stone-scissors game begins again.
- Thus, the winning player is always stopped until he/she reaches his/her team.
- 1 against 1
- Both run 1 time from cone to cone
- The attacker is played the ball by the trainer
- The attacker tries to pass the defender in the square and score on goal
- The defender tries to stop the attacker correctly
- Divide the group into 2 teams.
- Make an F-Field; width of field.
- Have the groups pass the ball 10x to each other without the other team touching the ball for 1 point. Pass only, do not bounce.
- With an odd group, you can give one player a different vest and they will always play on the team with possession of the ball.
Making it more difficult:
- Do not pass to the same back.
- Everyone must take their turn.
- Ball must not touch the ground.
- Only pass with a bounce.
- You plot a square with the desired distance to fit.
- Each corner has a pawn.
- 1 ball is needed.
- One player starts and throws the ball clockwise to the next corner. Then runs to the next corner chasing the ball.
- This is how the square goes around.
Possible challenges:
- Throwing clockwise and running counterclockwise.
- With 2 balls.
- With 2 balls throwing diagonally and crossing. Beware of other players.
- With bounce.
- With connecting passes to the next corner.
- Left or right buildup plays center to center.
- This one starts a dribble in to one side.
- The L/R builder runs in behind.
- The L/R builder receives the ball.
- The L/R builder rounds.
- Blue throws the ball to the goalie and runs to the pylon.
- Keeper catches the ball and throws a break out on the running blue player.
- Blue takes the ball, runs around the pylon and tries to finish from the 9 meters.
- Optionally, a defender can be put around the 9 to defend.
- 7 meter practice in 2 goals.
- Observe contact and standing still 1 foot to throw.
- Aiming at corners - aiming discs.
- Then with goalie.
Setup:
- Put a pawn on the left and right of the goal area line.
Goal:
- Players must round from outside the pawn on goal. Shot angle can be made easier or more difficult by moving pawn.
Exercise:
- Row of players on left attack. Focal point on center.
- Left attack puts pressure, plays ball to middle, gets ball back and rounds.
- When one has been one goes on right attack, where the same thing is done.
- Important is that players jump well inside towards goal.
Variations:
- Idem 1, but now with starting from the middle.
- The ball is now played to the trainer in front of them.
- This one also plays the ball back.
- Alternate left and right.
- Same as 2, but now also place a pawn where the players must pass inside.
- This causes the player to arrive at the 2nd pawn in a nasty way -in the previous exercise they will have run a nice little arc to avoid this-, so they end up having to turn more in their shot to still get towards goal.
- A distance shot from the middle can also be inserted throughout to train this as well.
- Start in corner.
- Run in place.
- Jump on step.
- 2 legs off again.
- Sprint to first pawn.
- Zigzag forward and backward between 6 and 9 meters.
- Ball retrieval.
- Dribbling, zigzagging past pawns.
- Play off at the end.
- Sidestep.
- Swap past hats.
- When you face the thrower, get the ball back.
- With ball high zig-zagging past pawns.
- Walk out slowly.
- Repeat.
- Duos on the 6 meters facing each other.
- Ball in the middle.
- After 'go' run whoever has the ball first.
- Passes and completes.
- Can also be done with variations such as Sidestep.
