Handball drills
Materials:
- All players have a ball.
- 3 mats behind.
- One goal.
Exercise:
- Players step through a 3 pass; left-right-left, across the mats and then finish with shot.
- Note correct shot posture:
- Correct leg forward - right-handed left, left-handed right-.
- Arm high and elbow above shoulder.
- Set up 4 benches 1.5 - 2 meters apart.
- All players a ball.
- Make a 3 pass: left-right jump and land on the bench.
- Do this toward each bench.
- Players line up in groups of 3.
- Player in the middle is the loafer and tries to intercept the ball.
- The other 2 may try to make space between the pawns for the pass.
Points of attention:
- Proper throwing technique.
- Hands ready to catch.
- No arc balls.
- Running free, making sure you respond to the loafer.
- All players grab a ball and line up next to each other.
- The trainer stands with ball in front of it.
- The players follow the trainer dribbling as a mirror image. If the trainer goes forward then they go backward, if the trainer goes left then they go right, and so on.
Variation:
- Trainer raises number of fingers and players call out how many; looking over the ball.
- Sit down while dribbling and stand up again.
- Lie down while dribbling and get up again.
- Turn ball around waist.
- Dribbling between the legs.
- A square is made with 4 pawns.
- The players stand inside this square and must keep balls thrown into it moving.
- Note the players must work well together because they may only touch a ball once and then move on to another ball.
- Large thick mat.
- 1 player lies on the mat and tries to intercept balls directly or indirectly.
- Always kneeling or lying position.
Players stand in pairs in a plank position facing each other.
- Roll 1 ball, right hand to right hand, left hand to left hand.
- Tip to each other.
- Throw over without the ball touching the ground.
- The players stand in a square.
- 1 player throws the ball 1 way and runs in the other direction and moves up one position.
- Note, never throw diagonally.
- 5 players stand in the front of 2 triangles: 2 facing each other /1 next to them/ then again 2 facing each other next to them.
- Passing is done with 2 balls.
- The pairs play across, but also to the middle if that player is turned their way.
- That middle player plays back to the duo and then turns around again.
- 1 player defends a hat with their arms behind their back.
- The other player tries to hit the hat with the ball.
- Special attention to footwork!
Players must throw each other off, but may not run with the ball.
- If you are off, then you walk like a zombie to the bench and stand on it.
- If a ball is caught, and someone yells 'zombie ball'! then everyone is free again.
- You may also try to throw off the person who hit you from the bench. Also then you can go back into the field.
Can also be done with 2 teams.
Circuit:
- Zig-zag partoon with flat markers: walk forward and backward, pay attention to light stride, especially forefoot.
- Then dribble to:
- Goal on side next to center line, put bench in front of it. Make jump shot.
- Left of goal 5 pawns: dribble slalom
- Do a head roll on the mat.
- Then to the right, there is a pawn at 6 meters, very diagonal to the goal. Make jump shot at 2 pawns standing in the goal.
