Handball drills for technique warming-up

• Put everyone in a circle with the ball in their hand and hold it high above their shoulder.
• They start with dribbling on the spot in high speed, after 30 seconds you do another exercise.
  • Skipping (2 times on 1 leg then on the other leg)
  • Jumping forward (2 legs at the same time) and back again
  • Stepping to the left and to the right
  • Shuffle forwards and backwards
  • High speed dribble
• If this is too easy, extend the exercise by 45 seconds or 1 minute

• 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

• 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

• 2 Groups line up next to each other
• The player in front rolls the ball backwards between all legs.
• The last player slaloms around the players to the front, joins in and rolls the ball backwards again.

• Players lie down after rolling the ball backwards.
• The player in the back takes the ball and jumps over the other players
• Each player who has jumped over gets up again

• You place 4 pawns in a square approx 6x6m.
• Players are divided at the pawns, possibly in a row.
• One player gets the ball, walks slowly to the next pawn and throws the ball to the first player at the next pawn who has also started walking.
• As soon as the ball is caught, the first player at the next pawn starts walking and catches the ball again, etc.
• Important, players do not walk sideways but forwards and bend their upper body sideways.
• Make sure the players throw the ball into the hands of the next player.
• The higher the speed of the exercise, the further in front of the player the ball must be thrown.
• The exercise can be performed at all speeds, walking and running.

• You make pairs.
• Both persons stand on the circle at the same height as the poles.
• You run with 1 ball per pair to the other side of the circle.
• While running to the other side you throw the ball to each other.
• When you're on the other side you run back to the other side.
• Variation:
  • Overhand throw.
  • Knee-down passing.
  • Passes with jump shot.
  • Sideways jump to the opposite circle.
  • Cross pass to the opposite circle.
  • Accelerated pass. (50, 60, 70, 80 %)
  • Sprint.

• The field players make 2 rows at the height of the posts.
• The balls are shot at the goal at the pace of the goalkeepers.
• Left high, right high, left high etc.
• However, when the players have taken a shot they do not calmly take the ball but sprint to the half way line.
  • Variation:
  • Another point can also be indicated by means of a
    • pawn
    • hat
    • pole etc.
    • Instead of the middle line.
• It is also possible to make another movement instead of sprinting.
• For example the side jump.

• All players are spread over the playing area.
• One player starts as the "hunter" and one player as the "prey".
• The "hunter" tries to catch the "prey".
• The "prey" can escape by running away or lying down next to another player.
• This player now becomes the "hunter" and the old "hunter" becomes the "prey".

• This exercise is shown for 3 groups.
• Each team does a different exercise.
• This is done to show the possibilities and variations.
• The passes are only shown on the way out.
• Players continue with passes on the way back to their starting position. (5-10 passes are possible).
  • The 1st group plays side passes inside the pylons and turns to the outside around the pylons and then plays long passes on the way back.
  • The 2nd group plays side passes on the right side of the pylons and both turn left around the pylons and then play side passes again on the way back.
  • The 3rd group runs (dribbles) around the pylons.
• All passes are possible, but the exercise is best for the quick, precise side pass. Also a good exercise for training acceleration.

• You make pairs.
• These pairs start calmly walking through the hall with a ball.
• About every minute you make it a little faster.
• So we slowly work from a slow running pace to a sprinting pace.
• You can also choose to give different instructions to a pair.
• Examples of this are:
  • Passes with a jump.
  • Passes with 2 arms.
  • Pass with 2 arms above the head.
  • Sprint the other way after a pass.

2 or 3 teams depending on the size of the group.

• Start all behind the pawn
• The first one starts and goes with 2 feet at the same time through the ladder, sprints to the pawn, goes around it and runs back to the group (not through the ladder again)
• Ticks the next player and he does the same.
• The team that is sitting down first has won.

Differentiation:

• Inclined through the running ladder ( face right or left)
• Backwards through the ladder
• Without ladder with ball and slalom (tipping)
• Slalom with the wrong hand (tipping)

Moving forward with ball

• Tipping (right, left or alternately)
• Roll the ball, pick it up, roll it
• Hold the ball in front of you, move from pawn to pawn
• Circle ball around hip
