Handball drills
- 7 meter practice in 2 goals.
- Observe contact and standing still 1 foot to throw.
- Aiming at corners - aiming discs.
- Then with goalie.
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.
- Ball retrieval.
- Dribbling, zigzagging past pawns.
- Play off at the end.
- Sidestep.
- Swap past hats.
- When you face the thrower, get the ball back.
- With ball high zig-zagging past pawns.
- Walk out slowly.
- Repeat.
- Duos on the 6 meters facing each other.
- Ball in the middle.

- Pass to nearest bin.
- Passer gets ball back from next bin.

- At a whistle and direction from the trainer, players sprint to a pawn and back to their starting spot.
- Repeat several times, sprinting various directions.
- Rest.
- And repeat the exercise one more time or times depending on the level of the players.
- Option: With ball.
- Narrow space 3 or 4 meters mark between 6 and 12 meters
- 2 defenders with vests stand at the 9 meter mark
- 2 attackers with ball come in pass and go back, and then attack begins.
- Make sure defenders make contact, right shoulder and left first hand over ball.
- Attackers must constantly break free and distance themselves.
- Try passing moves.
- Can be done at the circle in 2, 4 and even 6 stations.
- Work in pairs or threesomes
- Place 2 pawns about 2 meters apart
- Player A stands between the pawns
- Player B has a pile of hats in his hands
- Player B throws the hats towards player A between the cones
- Player A tries to dodge the hats and not get hit
Variation:
- Each hat hit is 1 mission
- Example: hit 5 hats? Then player A does 5 squats/push ups/sit ups
Variation for footwork:
- Throw the hats only toward the feet
- Make pairs with 1 ball.
- Pairs face each other and place the ball at a high pace to each other.
- Actively dribble and place on spot.

Everyone needs a ball, especially use different balls!
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:
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.
- Goalkeeper stands in the goal or between 2 posts the size of the goal.
- Another person throws, like a Frisbee, several hats in succession toward the goalie. Keeper tries to knock the hats down from the air.
- Variation: Goalkeeper stands with his/her back to you and turns around on command. Then a hat is quickly thrown.
- Lay out a circle with markers.
- Divide the players into 2 teams.
- 1 team defends, the other team tries to put the ball in the circle while overplaying.
- Pay attention to footwork!
