Handball drills
- 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.

- Can also be done with variations such as Sidestep.
- 1 player at bin position.
- Rest in the corners.
- 1 ball in each corner and reserve.
- Left runs on the 6 meter line.
- Right runs on the 9 meter line.
- Pass to nearest bin.
- Passer gets ball back from next bin.
- Pass through to corner
- All players stand back to back in the center of the playing field.
- Each player has a pawn or hat on either side.
- When instructed by the trainer, players move into place at a fast pace.
- At a whistle and direction from the trainer, players sprint to a pawn and back to their starting spot.
- Repeat several times, sprinting various directions.
- Rest.
- And repeat the exercise one more time or times depending on the level of the players.
- Option: With ball.
- Narrow space 3 or 4 meters mark between 6 and 12 meters
- 2 defenders with vests stand at the 9 meter mark
- 2 attackers with ball come in pass and go back, and then attack begins.
- Make sure defenders make contact, right shoulder and left first hand over ball.
- Attackers must constantly break free and distance themselves.

- Player B throws the hats towards player A between the cones

Variation:
- Each hat hit is 1 mission
- Example: hit 5 hats? Then player A does 5 squats/push ups/sit ups
Variation for footwork:
- Throw the hats only toward the feet
