Handball drills
Setup:
- Put a pawn on the left and right of the goal area line.
Goal:
- Players must round from outside the pawn on goal. Shot angle can be made easier or more difficult by moving pawn.
Exercise:
- Row of players on left attack. Focal point on center.
- Left attack puts pressure, plays ball to middle, gets ball back and rounds.
- When one has been one goes on right attack, where the same thing is done.
- Important is that players jump well inside towards goal.
Variations:
- Idem 1, but now with starting from the middle.
- The ball is now played to the trainer in front of them.
- This one also plays the ball back.
- Alternate left and right.
- Same as 2, but now also place a pawn where the players must pass inside.
- This causes the player to arrive at the 2nd pawn in a nasty way -in the previous exercise they will have run a nice little arc to avoid this-, so they end up having to turn more in their shot to still get towards goal.
- A distance shot from the middle can also be inserted throughout to train this as well.
- Start in corner.
- Run in place.
- Jump on step.
- 2 legs off again.
- Sprint to first pawn.
- Zigzag forward and backward between 6 and 9 meters.

Set up a dribble course, according to your own idea/ judgment. Below is an example of a course.
You cover the entire course while dribbling:
- Start in the corner by the pawn
- Climb over the cabinet and while sitting on the cabinet, dribble a lap around the cabinet
- Sit down on the mat and stand up again
- variation: lie down on stomach or back while dribbling
- Prop up a part of the cabinet and climb through it while dribbling
- Walk across the bench while continuing to dribble
- Walk towards the Chukchi, throw the ball into it. Catch it yourself and finish on goal
For younger youth, you could have them hold the ball on their own or dribble in the gaps.
