Handball drills

  • 1 against 1
  • Both run 1 time from cone to cone
  • The attacker is played the ball by the trainer
  • The attacker tries to pass the defender in the square and score on goal
  • The defender tries to stop the attacker correctly
drawing 1 vs.
  • Divide the group into 2 teams.
  • Make an F-Field; width of field.
  • Have the groups pass the ball 10x to each other without the other team touching the ball for 1 point. Pass only, do not bounce.
  • With an odd group, you can give one player a different vest and they will always play on the team with possession of the ball.
Making it more difficult:
  • Do not pass to the same back.
  • Everyone must take their turn.
  • Ball must not touch the ground.
  • Only pass with a bounce.
  • You plot a square with the desired distance to fit.
  • Each corner has a pawn.
  • 1 ball is needed.
  1. One player starts and throws the ball clockwise to the next corner. Then runs to the next corner chasing the ball.
  2. This is how the square goes around.

Possible challenges:
  • Throwing clockwise and running counterclockwise.
  • With 2 balls.
  • With 2 balls throwing diagonally and crossing. Beware of other players.
  • With bounce.
  • With connecting passes to the next corner.
drawing Fitting in a square
  • Left or right buildup plays center to center.
  • This one starts a dribble in to one side.
  • The L/R builder runs in behind.
  • The L/R builder receives the ball.
  • The L/R builder rounds.
drawing Swap left/right build-up with center build-up
  • 7 meter practice in 2 goals.
  • Observe contact and standing still 1 foot to throw.
  • Aiming at corners - aiming discs.
  • Then with goalie.
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.
  • Start in corner.
  • Run in place.
  • Jump on step.
  • 2 legs off again.
  • Sprint to first pawn.
  • Zigzag forward and backward between 6 and 9 meters.
  • Ball retrieval.
  • Dribbling, zigzagging past pawns.
  • Play off at the end.
  • Sidestep.
  • Swap past hats.
  • When you face the thrower, get the ball back.
  • With ball high zig-zagging past pawns.
  • Walk out slowly.
  • Repeat.
drawing Running Training
  • Mo plays Lo.
  • Puts barrage Rh.
  • Lo threatens to goal.
  • Plays to Ro.
  • Ro has to tie.
  • Plays oncoming corner between 1 and 2.
drawing Change
  • Duos on the 6 meters facing each other.
  • Ball in the middle.
  • After 'go' run whoever has the ball first.
  • Passes and completes.
  • Can also be done with variations such as Sidestep.
  • You form 2 teams of both the same number of people
  • Each team has its own box
  • On the back line of that section both teams have high cones upside down
  • The trick is for the other team to knock over the pawns
  • You can win with your team by fending off and defending the pawns
  • 1 attacker throws on goal
  • 2nd attacker goes out already
  • Goalkeeper grabs the ball as quickly as possible
  • Defender closest to the substitution area steps out
  • Attacker steps in
  • Goalkeeper passes to attacker on line / or stepping in attacker at center
  • On the opposite side, defenders come in as quickly as possible
  • Pass the game back and forth
How do you defend this?

  • Runner! Can intercept - can get to ball, not just receiver
  • Runner starts in during completion
  • 1 player at bin position.
  • Rest in the corners.
  • 1 ball in each corner and reserve.
  • Left runs on the 6 meter line.
  • Right runs on the 9 meter line.
  • Pass to nearest bin.
  • Passer gets ball back from next bin.
  • Pass through to corner
