Handball drills

  1. B1 plays on point of play, runs on and receives the ball in the run and finishes with a running shot.
  2. R1 blocks the ball. (jumping and forearms against each other)
drawing Barrier and blocks

Like:

  • Throwing and catching with a trot and standing further and further away.
  • Throwing on the post of the goal.
  • Ladder
  • Obstacles
  • Shuffle and get off
  • Two or three people on the left side of the pitch (can also be another position) and have to shoot.
  • The rest of the players collect balls and one of them plays the balls.
  • Shooting from the left side in succession.
  • The player who scores ten times first has won.
  • When you have shot, you have to walk backwards to your position.
  • Divide group into equal attackers/defenders. (e.g. 5-5)
  • Defenders defend forwards and pay attention to their (correct) position (correct leg in front - bent legs - grab opponent by the upper arms - stand as close to opponent as possible). Obstruct the shot/run direction - force attacker outside - communicate - help close teammates
  • Attackers must - determine where the spaces are - press forward and show initiative (by passing (tipping/shooting), running free (with/without the ball), playing give-and-go's. Changing/acquiring a position)


The exercise can be made easier or more difficult by: (foul play - make space in attack bigger/smaller - adjust number of players)

  • Ball goes from MO to LO to LH
  • Back MO starts in
  • LO comes around and shoots
drawing Crossroads
  • 2 teams of 3 players
  • 1 team defends other team will attack
  • 2 goalkeepers on each side / but can also be played on 1 half
  • team red (e.g.) attacks / tries to score a goal or put the ball in the 6 m / if it takes too long the trainer will whistle
  • then comes the changeover team red becomes defender immediately and team blue (e.g.) attacks all over the pitch
  • 100% attack and defence


  • At the end of the training, have the two teams play against each other.
  • Coaching them, but letting the game run.
  • Point out the pressure they have to put on and how to connect.
  • Make sure the children apply the distance shot and various passing moves.
  • MO plays ball to RO or LO, build-up starts in direction of corner and corner comes running in.
  • Construction plays ball near sideline to corner player who presses between 1 and 2 and plays ball to MO.
  • LH or RH does NOT go through to the circle - corners go back to their position and stand deep
  • MO (who has the ball) presses the defence and passes to LO or RO who again presses between 1and2and plays the corner free

Make 3 teams: 1 stands 2 meters for the sideline, 1 stands in the middle, the other stands 2 meters for the other sideline.

The ones in the middle have the ball

  • 1. Dribble/putt on towards the 1st one on the sideline pass the ball and the other one runs to the other sideline and so on.
  • 2. Advance to the sideline, make a zero pass (the other one has to defend) the defender gets the ball and does the same on the other side.
  • - Note: player lands 1 meter in front of the defender, player must land on front feet, makes a body threat and passes the other side, speed up
  • 3. Same as 2, but now zero pass on left/right leg.
  • - Attention: player lands on 1 meter in front of the defender, makes sure he takes his upper body with him while landing and accelerating
  • 4. same as 2, but now with overpowering.
  • - Pay attention: that the zero axis is made slightly next to the defender, one long arm, that the player pushes down the defender's arm with the other arm, accelerate


drawing Defending/ Passing move
  • Divide the group into 3 teams
  • Each team takes place behind the square with the hats
  • The squares are identical to each other and consist of four different coloured hats
  • The first person of each team stands inside the square
  • The trainer calls 1, 2 or 3 colours which have to be tapped by hand in the right order
  • Then continue the course at maximum speed
  • At the cones: forwards-backwards-forwards-backwards.
  • At the ladder, each foot in the next square (several variations possible).
  • Then sprint back past the first hat of the square.
  • The fastest earns 1 point for his team


During the time that the track is completed, the other team members do push ups and abdominal exercises

drawing Relay course
  • create teams of 3 players
  • 2 balls per 3 players
  • 2 players on the outside of the playing field and 1 player in the middle
  • 1 pawn approx. 5m in front of the players on the outside
  • the outside players have the ball
  • player in the middle sprints to the first pawn and is played by 1 outside player and passes back
  • then sprint to the other side
  • repeat a few times then change position



  • 5 attacker,
    • so without a circle
    • can also be done without a defense
    • is about concentration and ball control and correct execution of a switch
  • MO will switch 2 with LO
  • LO will play a pass to the RO
  • RO goes into the 2swap with LH
  • LH passes the ball to the next MO and everything in the other direction.
  • corner players are going to join the MO,
  • RO+LO join the corners and the MO joins the LO or RO.
