Handball drill: giving pressure and rounding

Suitable for the following techniques: attack

Giving pressure and rounding

  • All players divide into the corners and buildup positions.
  • There are 2 defenders, 1x LO and 1x RO. They defend first passively and later actively.
  • The left builder:
    • Plays the ball to the corner.
    • Starts in and gets it played back.
    • Plays through to the middle at pace.
    • Runs diagonally back to the sideline.
    • Starts in and makes a passing move past the defender.
    • The same happens on the right side.
  • The left builds up:
    • Plays to the corner.
    • Gets it back and plays through to the middle.
    • Middle starts up as does the builder.
    • Corner starts in and gets the ball (with or without bounce).
    • Defender defends passively.
    • Corner tries to pass.
    • Same on the other side.
  • The left builder:
    • Plays ball to the middle.
    • Gets it back and plays to the corner.
    • Corner starts putting pressure and so does the builder.
    • Middle finishes by jump shot or passing move.
    • Defender is active right away. If ball goes through LO, LO defender is active, and vice versa.
