Handball drills for technique attack / offense
- Little 8 is the change of circle with the corner players.
- Middle build-up indicates which system is started. At small 8 the corners and circle start running;
- The right corner takes the initiative and runs towards the position of the circle (can be with or without ball!), the circle runs towards the corner and perhaps takes a defender with it. This may free up the circle which can be played through the build-up. If not, the substitute moves on to the other corner, until either a goal is scored or everyone is back in his/her own place.
- Important is watching each other's timing, not getting in each other's way and correct passing with bounce by the builder.
- Practice start with passive defenders, then active
Divide team into 3 teams.
- Team 1 starts defending
- Team 2 starts attacking from the middle
- Team 3 gets ready on the middle line with ball
Once completed, team 2 starts defending and the 3rd team starts attacking from the middle.
- Team 1 takes the ball and gets ready on the middle line, etc.
The goal is to switch quickly from attacking to defending.
All positions at least occupied by 1 player with ball
On follow order is completed:
On follow order is completed:
- Right corner: round off with lop
- Right formation: round off with underhand shot (possibly 2 boxes with mat to create opening)
- Center formation: round off with jump shot over an F goal/mat (this is at 9 m)
- Left formation: round off with a dummy around the post
- Left corner: free choice of rounding
- Circle runner: turn and jump with 2 legs at the same time
Having rounded off choose another position
Goalkeeper gets a vest which he/she throws up, holds up ball and must catch the vest before it hits the ground. (or holds balloon in the air during exercise) Pay attention to goalkeeper posture (hands high, knees bent)

- Middle build-up indicates moment and system starts at Left corner
- Right corner goes deep
- Right corner takes up its position more to the right and applies pressure
- Left corner puts pressure
- Left corner puts pressure and walks backwards
- Center structure puts pressure on the left with the aim of taking center defender with it and then barricading/holding it with it
- Circle runner secures circle defender
- Left post runs behind Center post and receives the ball
Note: Right corner and Right build-up also put pressure to the right to keep defender with them so that Left build-up gets space
Goal of the exercise
- In this exercise, we improve our footwork during pressure and in rounding.
Exercise
- On the buildup positions, 3 pylons are in the point to the back.
- The 2 front pylons are at the 9 meter mark.
- One focal point stand beyond the pylon in the middle.
- Players play the point of attack and run without the ball towards the left pylon, in the forward motion they play the ball, in the backward motion they get it back.
- Players run around the back pylon and push again, this time they finish on goal
Variation
- Exercise can be performed at left build and right build position at the same time.
- After finishing, switch sides.
start from center line 5-on-4 or 5-on-5 or more
trainer throws ball to attackers after which defenders may start immediately.
goal is for attackers to score and/or defenders to conquer the ball

- Left corner puts pressure
- Left corner puts pressure and runs backward
- Center-back pressures left with goal to take center defender away
- Left-back runs behind center-back and receives ball
- Circle puts barrage left defender
- Right-back runs behind Left-back and receives the ball
- Left-hand build-up runs through and puts barrage on Right-hand build-up defender
- Right-back rounds or passes to the circle
Exercises:
- Exercise 1:
- 1 vs 1 without a goalkeeper in the goal so that shots can continue to be made in quick succession, when everyone has shot the balls pass and keep changing defenders. Then build up to 2 vs 2 and so on to 3 vs 3.
- Exercise 2:
- Around the center line practice footwork with the ladders.
- Exercise 3:
- Second line -> occupy the 3 buildup positions offensively and teach the second line. Starting on the left side, causing it to start up and come in, eventually ending up at the right build-up. the Middle and right build-ups both move up one position to the left. The ball passes through the left build-up to the right build-up, which then plays to the middle build-up who will finish.
- Occupy the 3 buildup positions offensively.
- From the left buildup, the player shoots freely, that is, without a defender.
- From the right buildup shoot over the thick mat, here a springboard can be used.
- 4 attackers
- 3 defenders not passing but playing off when they are not coming
- Up and shoot
- Playing the circle
Circle spair. Left/right builders put pressure or shoot or pass to circle
- Blue throws the ball to the goalie and runs to the pylon.
- Keeper catches the ball and throws a break out on the running blue player.
- If goalkeeper cannot throw a break, throw ball to MA. This one throws BO.
- Blue takes the ball and tries to finish from the 9 yards.
- Optionally, put a defender around the 9 to defend.
- 5 attackers and 3 defenders
- The ball starts at the left corner which puts pressure and from there the pressure continues.
- The defenders make considerable contact with the attackers by pushing the hands on the shoulders/ hip.
- The attackers pass in time and keep the ball high.
- When there is not enough defense, the attacker continues.
- Eventually the corner rounds the corner.
- Then the ball goes from the other corner and pressure is played.
