Handball drills

  • Burpee (lie on stomach, press up, place hands on floor while "jumping" feet between hands, then explosively jump up with arms raised)
  • Abdominal muscle crunches
  • Plank from hands to elbow
  • Lunges
  • Penguin; lie on back, legs bent with hands left/right ankle tapping.
  • Squat
All positions at least occupied by 1 player with ball

On follow order is completed:
  • Right corner: round off with lop
  • Right formation: round off with underhand shot (possibly 2 boxes with mat to create opening)
  • Center formation: round off with jump shot over an F goal/mat (this is at 9 m)
  • Left formation: round off with a dummy around the post
  • Left corner: free choice of rounding
  • Circle runner: turn and jump with 2 legs at the same time
Having rounded off choose another position

Goalkeeper gets a vest which he/she throws up, holds up ball and must catch the vest before it hits the ground. (or holds balloon in the air during exercise) Pay attention to goalkeeper posture (hands high, knees bent)
  • Middle build-up indicates moment and system starts at Left corner
  • Right corner goes deep
  • Right corner takes up its position more to the right and applies pressure
  • Left corner puts pressure
  • Left corner puts pressure and walks backwards
  • Center structure puts pressure on the left with the aim of taking center defender with it and then barricading/holding it with it
  • Circle runner secures circle defender
  • Left post runs behind Center post and receives the ball
Note: Right corner and Right build-up also put pressure to the right to keep defender with them so that Left build-up gets space

  • 2 a 3 hunters throwing off players with a soft ball
    • Ratio; 1 to 5.

  • If you are thrown off you sit on the bench.
  • The 2 or 3 players who are thrown off first become the hunter in the next game.
Preparation
  • Make groups of 3
  • Mark off space of 2 by 4 meters.
Exercise
  • Player 1 has the ball and stands on one side of the 'field'.
  • Goal is to give the ball to the 2nd player by running and turning with the ball around the defender (rugby style)
  • The defender continues to defend the attacker frontally and gives counter pressure.
Coaching
  • On the front foot, give pressure frontally and not through the side

Preparation
  • Make pairs
  • Per pair 1 ball
Exercise
