Handball drill: specialist shots

Suitable for the following techniques: attack ball control

Specialist shots

Setup:
  • Put a pawn on the left and right of the goal area line.
Goal:
  • Players must round from outside the pawn on goal. Shot angle can be made easier or more difficult by moving pawn.
Exercise:
  • Row of players on left attack. Focal point on center.
  • Left attack puts pressure, plays ball to middle, gets ball back and rounds.
  • When one has been one goes on right attack, where the same thing is done.
  • Important is that players jump well inside towards goal.
Variations:
  • Idem 1, but now with starting from the middle.
    • The ball is now played to the trainer in front of them.
    • This one also plays the ball back.
    • Alternate left and right.
  • Same as 2, but now also place a pawn where the players must pass inside.
    • This causes the player to arrive at the 2nd pawn in a nasty way -in the previous exercise they will have run a nice little arc to avoid this-, so they end up having to turn more in their shot to still get towards goal.
    • A distance shot from the middle can also be inserted throughout to train this as well.
