Handball drills for technique defense

• The one without the ball stands diagonally behind the one with the ball.
• The player with the ball tips the ball to the 9-meter line as quickly as possible. The player without the ball tries to tap the ball away.
  Without making physical contact.
  

• Line up full team on one side, team without goalie on other side.
• Players will defend offensively and continue to watch for players behind.
• Interception is a point and goal is a point.

• 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.

• 2 Teams
• Players place themselves on call on both sides at the 5 defensive positions: LH-LO-MO-RO-RH
  • Then run to attack position
  • Then a minimum of 3 throws (e.g. MO-RO-RH-RO)
  • Then shot at pawn
  • Return to defense
• Players out, players in
  • Back to offense
  • Again at least 3 throws
  • Shot on target, etc.
• Who is the first to knock over 3 pawns wins

• LO a line with ball
• RO a row
• In every deep corner 1 defender
• As soon as the builders start to run, the two defenders move to the middle as quickly as possible
• The team builders who are competing with the defenders are going to pressure well next to the man
• The defenders pay attention to a good defence, stepping out on the player with the ball and immediately back to the 6 when the ball is to the other player
• After rounding on the goal, the attackers become defenders. Do not go and get the ball!
• Defenders go into the deep corner again and two new attackers start
  
  

• Row of LO with the ball
• Two in the middle (every now and then new players in the middle)
• LO puts pressure and passes the ball to the MO who is starting
• LO runs backwards again with a good arc and keeps an eye on the game
• The MO puts pressure and passes the ball to the incoming LO who shoots at the goal
• The LO has to time the ball well. Do not start too quickly or too late.
• Everyone is allowed to round off a few times on the LO
  
  

• Trainer stands on the 6 on the middle on 3
• 1 defender at 2
• We do the same as before, but now the LO goes 1 on 1 with the defender
• At the moment that the MO puts pressure, the trainer says YES and the defender has to move aside quickly to tap the trainer.
• Then the LO starts to duel with the defender.
• When you have shot at the goal, you immediately stand up to defend, so do not go and get your ball!
• The previous defender joins behind the line LO and gets a ball from the goalie
• The two MO's have to be exchanged every time
  
  

• 1 attacker tries to get to the goal line
• if the defender blocks well, pass back to player 2 (who stays behind a bit)
• Let the players change positions after every attack.

• Then a variation with 2 defenders
• Focus on free lines
  
  

• On both sides there are 2 defenders on the build-up position.
• 2 players in the middle and the rest spread out over the left and right positions.
• Builders have the ball and play it to the middle, get it back and pass the defender. (The ball may also be played back to the middle).
• Passing with 0 pass, or other feint.
• Centre plays both builders and then switches.
• The players can finish freely.

• 2 pairs.
• One (defensive) player on the dotted line.
• Other (attacking) player in front of them.
• The offensive player tries to pass the defensive player between the pawns (without ball).
• One (defensive) player on the dotted line.
• Other (offensive) player in front.
• The attacking player tries to pass the defending player between the pawns (with ball).
• Possible shot on goal.
• Attackers:
  • Quick movement.
  • Continue shot attempt even though someone is hanging on to you.
• Defenders:
  • Keep attacking player in front of you.
  • Grasping at upper arms.

• A normal game is played, however with a special rule.
• Everything remains the same, teams of 7 (6 field players + 1 goalkeeper) are made.
• As a team in a break-out.
• In a first or in a second phase they make a goal they may attack again.
• If they have scored in this way they may break out again at the centre builder.
• If a goal is scored in this attack, they have made 2 points in 1 attack.
• If they don't score, it's only 1 point.
• This continues until time is up.
• Change:
  • You can also choose to reward a break-out.
  • You can also choose to reward a break-out, first or second phase attack with 2 points instead of a new attack.

• 4 attackers.
• 3 defenders.
• 1 attacker stands like a circle in the middle.
• 3 defenders stand around it.
• The other attackers try to play the ball around by applying pressure.
• The attacker in the middle.
• Defenders try to intercept and prevent the attacker in the middle from receiving the ball.
• Attention defenders:
  • Talking.
  • Stepping out.
  • Step back.
  • Good foot forward.
  • Blocking space with arms.
  • Cover your back.
• See Insta-film.

• The focus here is on defending.
• Attackers are outnumbered, 3 and the defenders are 2.
• There is one attacker on the circle and two build-up players.
• The attackers are going to look for the defenders and try to play 1 on 1.
• The runner on the circle is going to offer herself and may also finish.
• It is important that the defenders talk to each other and step out and back in time.

Variation: 1 additional defender 3:3
