Rounding from different positions

Players choose 2 positions from which to shoot. The possibilities are:

  • Left corner
    • There are 3 low hurdles here. Players go over the hurdles before finishing
    • While jumping over the hurdles, players look ahead, not to the ground
    • While jumping over the hurdles, players make a throwing motion with their ball
    • After the hurdles, they can finish, point of attention is that players jump well to the penalty spot

  • Left wing
    • Here are low hurdles. Players go over the hurdles before they pass and finish
    • When jumping over the hurdles, players look ahead, not to the ground
    • While jumping over the hurdles, players make sure they always land in a 0-swing
    • After landing in the last 0 pass, the player feints a move opposite a post (defender) and passes left or right between the post and the cap

  • Midfield
    • There is a ladder here. Players go through the ladder before finishing with a running shot
    • While going through the ladder, players look ahead, not to the ground
    • While going through the ladder, players make a throwing motion with their ball
    • After the last compartment of the ladder, the player brings the ball up from below to complete a running shot

  • Right wing
    • There is a pole (defender) on the 9 meter. Players finish with a distance shot
    • It is important that they are played in the run
    • Use the first 2 passes to gain speed, the last pass to move upwards
    • Point of attention is variation in the rounding.

Footwork in completion

In this exercise we improve our footwork while pressing and in the completion.

On the LO there are 3 pawns at the point to the back. The 2 front pawns stand at the 9 meter mark. One touch point stand past the right pawn in the middle.

  • Players pass to the attacking point and run without the ball towards the left pawn, in the forward movement they get the ball, in the backward movement they play it back.
  • Players walk back to the back pawn and pass again, this time to the front right pawn.
  • Repeat this 2x, at the last time at the right pawn the players finish.
On the RO there is the following lineup:

Players throw to a point of contact on the left side of the exercise and turn on the right side next to the posts. Run half round back to back, get the ball and complete by jumping over the hurdle.

Build up with 3 - pressure

  • Three rows are set up at about 13 meters from the goal, at the build-up positions.
  • The first player of a row always walks up to the 11 meter and plays over to the closest builder (in front of the row), and connects again behind.
  • Pay attention to continuous movement, active, forward-moving catching.
Add to training

Base: fast break

  • 2 goalkeepers.
  • Players line up behind a back line to the left and right of the goal.
  • The first of a row plays the ball to the goalkeeper, and runs parallel to a player from the other row.
  • The goalkeeper throws to one of the two and the duo plays the ball to the opposite circle and tries to score.

  • Variation: add 1 opponent in the middle.
  • The builders must try to get in front of that player and in her line, so as to make interception impossible.
Add to training

Game: touchdown on mat

  • 2 teams with 2 mats each
  • The team with the ball tries to make a touchdown on the opponent's mats, the other team defends and tries to intercept the ball.
  • After a point, the other team gets the ball. Good physical defense, but no aggression!
  • Ordinary handball rules apply.

What to do after the quick...

After the 2nd phase the attack often falters. We now practice what to do to keep up the pace.

  • When the circle on the left is at 2, the LH comes up and makes a switch with the LO.
  • The pressure is put "short" right away so MO and RO can do the same and in this way we play the RH free.

  • Option is to let the circle move with the ball to create a barrier on the right side.
Add to training

Fast break waves

  • Both sides set up a goalkeeper and build-up.
  • 1st goalkeeper throws ball to buildup who run a fast break with the three of them. 
  • If the build-up is at the 6 meters on the other side, the goalie on that side starts the break.
  • Variation: change from LO or RO to MO.
