Handball drills for condition
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.
All players will be divided into groups of 3
- All groups take place along the sideline
- Player A sprints 2x to the other side while players B and C do a power exercise on their place
- When player A comes back, she taps player B, who then starts sprinting Players A and C continue with the power exercise.
- The same happens with player C
- Every player runs 1x and does 2x the power exercise
Examples for power exercises:
- Push-ups
- Burpees
- Jumping jacks
- Sit-ups
Ad
- 2 teams - 2 mats (or 2 or 3 bicycle tyres) - many balls
- Line up 10 metres apart, with a mat on each side and balls on the mats.
- Teams take the balls and dribble to their own side as fast as they can.
- Who has all the balls wins. (Good luck ;-)
- 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.

- For example, twisting arms
- The bear
- The crab
- Push-ups, 4 steps sideways, push-ups etc.
Stretch
- Wiper
- Lunge with arm stretch and stretch sideways
- Lunge with shoulder past knee
- Run from back line to back line at a fast pace.
- You make 2 pairs, number one starts running and number two counts how many times she makes it to the back line.
- Start with 4 minutes and build up with 30 seconds or 1 minute extra.
- Keep track of how many times each person has made it to the back line.
Ad

- Both sides start with a medicine ball in extended arms stepping out onto the pawns.
- When you get back to the corner you run to the bench, there you grab a ball and sprint onto the bench with two legs at a time.
- When jumping off the bench the bench is between your legs.
- You have your arm in a shot position.
- When you have had the whole bench you take three steps and shoot at goal.
- Quickly get the ball again and then jump into the hoops with two legs in each hoop.
- Then shoot at goal again and get the ball.

Ad
This exercise focuses on accelerating in the run while looking carefully around you.
- The team divides into 2 numbers that are about the same speed.
- The 2-tals divide on the outside lines of the hall.
- At the start, the 2-counts run one behind the other, front is the runner and back is the ticker.
- At the whistle, the pairs sprint to the opposite line/corner and the ticker tries to tick off the runner.
- Are you tapped? Press down 5 times. Did you escape? 5 x push-ups for the other person.
