Handball drills for technique attack / offense

  • Ball goes from the left tackle to the middle tackle.
  • The middle build-up breaks away and throws the ball to the incoming corner.
  • The corner starts to receive the ball and puts pressure on the defender. (threatening the goal)
  • The build-up puts pressure on the middle and rounds off. (jump shot)

  • 3 defenders, 3 attackers, 1 circle player.
  • So you are playing 3 against 4.
  • The attackers threaten to go towards goal and go for each other.
  • They try to score with a jump shot or to play the circle runner.
  • The circle runner tries to set a barrage and the attackers play around at a high pace.
  • Defenders get out and keep an eye on the circle runner.
Explain in advance that what a barrage means and in what ways you can barrage.
drawing Builders retrieve circle address
  • 2 players facing each other, with tennis ball.
  • Hold upper arm and overplay ball with forearm/wrist.
  • Pass over with hip throw.
  • Trainer stands center front at 7 meters.
  • Player throws on ball from 11/ 12 meters, runs up, catches ball and shoots under arms trainer, with side shot.
  • Note low body position.
Practice passing moves in small 2-meter space.

1. Right - right wide - left)
2. Left, left wide - right - left - with overhaul.
3. 3 pass with extended forward throwing arm.
4. Turn -right turn to pass left - left turn to pass right.

  • 3 defenders with vests - 4 attackers.
  • 4 markers on the ground - see drawing - approximate position attackers.
  • The attackers try, through good interplay with the corner players, to get the ball on the ground in the 6 meters. Not throwing but laying down - 1 point.
  • The defenders try to touch an attacker who has the ball - 1 point.
  • Above all play each other freely, no passing moves and the like.
drawing Defense: pressure on the attack
  • At 3 spots(LO/MO/RO) place a dummy or poles with vests.
  • Players approach from 1 side, get the ball and after 2 steps from the 2nd line they finish 3 times with:
    • High stretch/ swing shot.
    • Underhand shot.
    • Articulated shot.

  • Have left-handed players start on the right.
  • Focus on ball control.
  • Lots of repetitions.
Circuit:
  • Zig-zag partoon with flat markers: walk forward and backward, pay attention to light stride, especially forefoot.
  • Then dribble to:
    • Goal on side next to center line, put bench in front of it. Make jump shot.
    • Left of goal 5 pawns: dribble slalom
    • Do a head roll on the mat.
    • Then to the right, there is a pawn at 6 meters, very diagonal to the goal. Make jump shot at 2 pawns standing in the goal.
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.
drawing Playing Together
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.
