Handball drills for technique attack / offense
At 3 positions, within the 9 meters, lay down marking circles.
- 2 for the null pass, then right-left-right or left-right-left.
- No jumping.
- Finishing on 1 leg standing and falling forward is allowed.
- Two rows facing each other along the sideline.
- On both sides, two players start 1 with ball, 1 without ball
- At 3 meters distance the ball is played to the trainer (center line)
- Players walk around the pawn.
- Get the ball, play over and finish on goal.
We play this to practice the previous exercises at high speed and in competition form.
- 3-vs-3 without circle. Point of attention in attack: lots of movement, don't hang on your spot. Point of attention in coverage: who steps out when.
- 3-vs-4 with circle. Cover is undermanned and tries to break the attack by taking the speed out of it.
- 4-vs-4. The coverage is now complete with a circle in their back. Again, focus on who has the circle at what time and when they should step out.
- 5-vs-5. Same as before only now first LH and then RH are involved.
All players start on the LO in a line, everyone has a ball. In the field there are poles to finish on the spots LH, LO, MO, RO, RH.
- Player 1 starts with a cross and shoots at goal.
- Player 1 walks backwards to the LO, picks up the ball there.
- Player 1 rounds the LO, passes to MO etc.
This has to be done on a high tempo and with high intensity! Players must be tired.
- 2 Benches face each other, between 6 and 8 meters apart
- On every bench there are 4 to 6 pawns
- There are 2 teams who must try to knock off the pawns by throwing them over.
- Pawns that have fallen down can be taken to your own side
- The team that has all the pawns wins
Outdoors:
- Place the pawns in bicycle tires, where you are not allowed to stand inside.
- 2 Teams
- Players place themselves on call on both sides at the 5 defensive positions: LH-LO-MO-RO-RH
- Then run to attack position
- Then a minimum of 3 throws (e.g. MO-RO-RH-RO)
- Then shot at pawn
- Return to defense
- Players out, players in
- Back to offense
- Again at least 3 throws
- Shot on target, etc.
- Who is the first to knock over 3 pawns wins
- Ball goes from the set-up to the middle set-up
- Middle build-up breaks away and starts in towards the middle and passes the ball to the incoming corner
- Corner puts pressure between 2 and 3
- The build-up passes behind the corner at the level of 2 and 3 and finishes in the middle.
- LO a line with ball
- RO a row
- In every deep corner 1 defender
- As soon as the builders start to run, the two defenders move to the middle as quickly as possible
- The team builders who are competing with the defenders are going to pressure well next to the man
- The defenders pay attention to a good defence, stepping out on the player with the ball and immediately back to the 6 when the ball is to the other player
- After rounding on the goal, the attackers become defenders. Do not go and get the ball!
- Defenders go into the deep corner again and two new attackers start
- From the back line make three rows LO/MO/ RO
- The trio which starts from the 6 meter
- LO passes the ball to MO who makes a short pass on the right side
- The RO comes from behind and receives the ball and makes a short dribble and a short change on the left
- The outside builders run wide
- The LO comes through the middle and receives the ball from the RO
- The new MO shoots at the goal. Alternate positions
- Row of LO with the ball
- Two in the middle (every now and then new players in the middle)
- LO puts pressure and passes the ball to the MO who is starting
- LO runs backwards again with a good arc and keeps an eye on the game
- The MO puts pressure and passes the ball to the incoming LO who shoots at the goal
- The LO has to time the ball well. Do not start too quickly or too late.
- Everyone is allowed to round off a few times on the LO
Extension
- Trainer stands on the 6 on the middle on 3
- 1 defender at 2
- We do the same as before, but now the LO goes 1 on 1 with the defender
- At the moment that the MO puts pressure, the trainer says YES and the defender has to move aside quickly to tap the trainer.
- Then the LO starts to duel with the defender.
- When you have shot at the goal, you immediately stand up to defend, so do not go and get your ball!
- The previous defender joins behind the line LO and gets a ball from the goalie
- The two MO's have to be exchanged every time
4 players: 1 goalkeeper, 1 defender, 2 attackers
- 1 attacker tries to get to the goal line
- if the defender blocks well, pass back to player 2 (who stays behind a bit)
- Let the players change positions after every attack.
- Then a variation with 2 defenders
- Focus on free lines
- 1 row on the middle build. Balls here on the ground.
- On the other positions one player.
- The middle constructor starts in with the ball and presses towards the goal, passing the ball on to the starting left constructor.
- The left winger, after receiving the ball, applies pressure towards the goal and passes the ball on to the starting left corner, who also applies pressure towards the goal.
- The middle constructor passes behind the left-hand constructor and makes a short change
- The left hander walks backwards towards the middle constructor and now becomes the middle and joins the row in the middle.
- (The middle constructor takes over the left hand builder's position) and receives the ball from the left corner player.
- New left-winger (old middle attachment) presses again towards the goal.
- Passes the ball to the new, starting middle constructor without the ball.
- The middle constructor receives the ball and puts pressure on the goal.
- Passes the ball to the starting right-hand builder.
- The right hand builder, after receiving the ball, applies pressure towards the goal and passes the ball to the starting right corner who also applies pressure towards the goal.
- The middle constructor passes the right-hand constructor behind and makes a short change.
- The right hand builder goes backwards to the middle builder and now becomes the middle and joins the row in the middle.
- (The right hand builder runs backwards to the centre and joins the row on the centre.
