Handball drills for technique defense

• game
• 2 teams, equal numbers
  • Possibly without a break
  • Possibly without bounce
  • Possibly mixed teams

• 2 Builders play the ball to each other at a steady pace, each time making a forward threat.
• The defender performs a correct defensive position.
• Stepping out / running in
• Push sideways / run sideways
• The defenders continuously slide back and forth and provide back cover when attacking on the other side.

Variation: Eventually continue and finish by themselves (one of the trainers can then play the ball)

• Points of attention attack:
  • Goal-oriented play.
  • Clean passes
  • Putting pressure on
  • Learn a good feint

• At the end of the training, have the two teams play against each other.
• Coaching them, but letting the game run.
• Pointing out the pressure they have to put on and connecting.

Organization:

• Make 5 equal groups, 1 group at each side and 3 in the middle.
• Make sure both sides have several balls.
• Put 2 defenders (red) just inside the 9 meter line.

Sequence:

• B1 plays to B2
• B2 runs to the ball and plays to B3
• B3 plays to B4 and B4 tries to score.
• Meanwhile, B1 has to chase the ball to help the defenders.

Then repeat from left to right.

Points of attention:

• Swap positions clockwise every 2 min,
• After 10 minutes everyone has played every position.
• Pass quickly and accurately, if the defenders get the ball, stop the exercise and start again from the other side.

• 1 defender (V1) with attacker (A1) on the circle
• 1 defender (V2) in front who has to catch the attacking structure (A2)
• Attacking set-up A2 receives ball from the corner (A3) and runs towards V2;
• A1 steps out and stands left of V2 and blocks, A2 passes V2 on the right who is blocked by A1;
• Circle defender V1 has to choose, either follow A1 or pass to A2;
• A2 has to choose, if V1 comes, pass to A1, who then turns away from block position and stands free on the circle;
• or A2 shoots himself if V1 chooses to continue defending A1.

• Mutual play,
• if necessary, stop play and let them look at positions,
• Who stands where and what choice do you make to play the ball to?

• 4 attackers 4 defenders.
• Fanatic defending against the man.
• Attackers have to pass, run free and look out for their opponents.

• 2 people stand at the circle both with their backs to the goal.
• One is the defender and the other the attacker.
• The attacker stands in front of the defender with his back to the defender and his back to the goal.
• The attacker receives the ball and should try to turn towards the goal and finish
• The defender must prevent the attacker from scoring

• From the centre line, 2 people start running away at the same time,
• 1 of them with the ball.
• You imitate a break out and then look at how you have to defend, i.e. on the ball!

• 3 people at the 6 and 3 in the attack.
• The attackers are going to make substitutions forcing the defense to surrender and take over by talking!

• divide over 2 teams
• 1 team wears vests
• play a match to automate agreements in defence and attack

• game takes place across the width of the hall
• Place 2x 2 cones on both sides
• Divide group in two teams
• goal is to put the ball on the ground between the cones of the opponent
• variations with loss and gain:
  • who makes the first five points wins, other team press-ups/frog-jumps, running across the field etc.
  • when player with ball is trapped so that passing is not possible: team of player who is trapped must push up five times etc. (Meant to promote speed in playing around and trapping player with ball)
