Handball drills for technique defense
- 2 defenders on the circle
- 1 circle runner with vest
- 2 attackers try to outplay the defenders via the circle runner
- Possibly with goalkeeper
- Use jump shot / pass move / drop throw etc.
- 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!
Play a game on small field:
- Depending on number of players, cordon off part of circle. involve at least 1 corner.
- Equal number of field players.
- Small space, lots of pressure.
- Have defenders connect to force penetration.
- Let attackers outplay defenders.
- Passing movements.
- Make goalkeeper move correctly.

- 3 defenders with vests - 4 attackers.
- 4 markers on the ground - see drawing - approximate position attackers.
- The attackers try, through good interplay with the corner players, to get the ball on the ground in the 6 meters. Not throwing but laying down - 1 point.
- The defenders try to touch an attacker who has the ball - 1 point.
- Above all play each other freely, no passing moves and the like.
- All players at the 6 meter with 1 ball each.
- All shoot until everyone has been:
- At the goalie.
- High. Changing corners.
- Low. Corners change.
- Half. The goalkeeper moves forward and back again.
Remember the goalie arc.
- Large thick mat.
- 1 player lies on the mat and tries to intercept balls directly or indirectly.
- Always kneeling or lying position.
- 2 duos are facing each other, in between is parallel a line marked with 2 poles.
- There stands a 5th player who tries to intercept the balls, which are passed with bounce.
Good exercise for goalkeepers.
We play this to practice the previous exercises at high speed and in competition form.
- 3-vs-3 without circle. Point of attention in attack: lots of movement, don't hang on your spot. Point of attention in coverage: who steps out when.
- 3-vs-4 with circle. Cover is undermanned and tries to break the attack by taking the speed out of it.
- 4-vs-4. The coverage is now complete with a circle in their back. Again, focus on who has the circle at what time and when they should step out.
- 5-vs-5. Same as before only now first LH and then RH are involved.
