Handball drills for technique attack / offense

  • 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.

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.
  • 2 goalkeepers
  • 2 players on the circle, throw the ball to the trainer.
  • Players run, get ball from trainer and while overplaying go across to finish. Possibly with movement inside.
  • In 2 groups.
Make pairs with a ball.
  • The one without the ball stands diagonally behind the one with the ball.
  • The player with the ball tips the ball to the 9-meter line as quickly as possible. The player without the ball tries to tap the ball away.
    Without making physical contact.
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.
  • Line up full team on one side, team without goalie on other side.
  • Players will defend offensively and continue to watch for players behind.
  • Interception is a point and goal is a point.
  • 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.
