Handball drills

  • 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


  • From the back line make three rows LO/MO/ RO
  • The trio which starts from the 6 meter
  • LO passes the ball to MO who makes a short pass on the right side
  • The RO comes from behind and receives the ball and makes a short dribble and a short change on the left
  • The outside builders run wide
  • The LO comes through the middle and receives the ball from the RO
  • The new MO shoots at the goal. Alternate positions
  • 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

  • 1 row on the middle build. Balls here on the ground.
  • On the other positions one player.
  • The middle constructor starts in with the ball and presses towards the goal, passing the ball on to the starting left constructor.
  • The left winger, after receiving the ball, applies pressure towards the goal and passes the ball on to the starting left corner, who also applies pressure towards the goal.
  • The middle constructor passes behind the left-hand constructor and makes a short change
  • The left hander walks backwards towards the middle constructor and now becomes the middle and joins the row in the middle.
  • (The middle constructor takes over the left hand builder's position) and receives the ball from the left corner player.
  • New left-winger (old middle attachment) presses again towards the goal.
  • Passes the ball to the new, starting middle constructor without the ball.
  • The middle constructor receives the ball and puts pressure on the goal.
  • Passes the ball to the starting right-hand builder.
  • The right hand builder, after receiving the ball, applies pressure towards the goal and passes the ball to the starting right corner who also applies pressure towards the goal.
  • The middle constructor passes the right-hand constructor behind and makes a short change.
  • The right hand builder goes backwards to the middle builder and now becomes the middle and joins the row in the middle.
  • (The right hand builder runs backwards to the centre and joins the row on the centre.


  • 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.
