Handball drills for technique defense
- 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
- The defender sprints between the hat (middle of the field) and the side line of the beach field. (2x)
- When the defender taps the hat for the second time, the attacker runs in and rounds the goal.
- The defender tries to block the shot.
- The goalkeeper takes the ball as quickly as possible
- The defender starts running towards the other goal and gets the ball from the goalkeeper on the way
- The defender finishes with a jump shot or pirouette
- The defender closes the back.
- The attacker becomes the defender and sprints again between the hat and the touchline
- Divide group into equal attackers/defenders. (e.g. 5-5)
- Defenders defend forwards and pay attention to their (correct) position (correct leg in front - bent legs - grab opponent by the upper arms - stand as close to opponent as possible). Obstruct the shot/run direction - force attacker outside - communicate - help close teammates
- Attackers must - determine where the spaces are - press forward and show initiative (by passing (tipping/shooting), running free (with/without the ball), playing give-and-go's. Changing/acquiring a position)
The exercise can be made easier or more difficult by: (foul play - make space in attack bigger/smaller - adjust number of players)
- 2 teams of 3 players
- 1 team defends other team will attack
- 2 goalkeepers on each side / but can also be played on 1 half
- team red (e.g.) attacks / tries to score a goal or put the ball in the 6 m / if it takes too long the trainer will whistle
- then comes the changeover team red becomes defender immediately and team blue (e.g.) attacks all over the pitch
- 100% attack and defence
- 2 Builders play the ball to each other at a steady pace, each time making a forward threat.
- The defender performs a correct defensive stance.
- Stepping out / inserting Runner sideways
- Variation:
- The trainer gives an optical signal after which the attacker comes 1 against 1 followed by a completion on goal.
- At the end of the training, have the two teams play against each other.
- Coaching them, but letting the game run.
- Point out the pressure they have to put on and how to connect.
- Make sure the children apply the distance shot and various passing moves.
- first round only move from the right to the left side - sprint to the middle line and connect
- second round, move over the circle and get out at the 9m or put down pawns
- third round two teams face each other 6m + 9m, both move and player at the 6m steps out at the pawns and makes contact with the player at the 9m (can be done with or without ball)
- fourth round turn the third round
- then repeat everything from the other side!
- EXIT as breakout!
- player is going to slide/step out first and break after that
- goalkeeper plays on / goalkeeper has to practise first
- Pairs face each other / width of the goal / so right and left of the goal
- both players move to the first pawn and then make contact for 3sec (hands against the shoulder, defensive exercise) then move on to the next pawns and repeat
- Move to the first cones, jump at the same time and give each other high five.
- Repeat this exercise a few times!
- all behind the backline - sprint 60% to half of 1 half then 100% sprint to the middle line / repeat this a few times / with different starting phases e.g. tripping on the foot, sprinting away from the boards, facing the wall ......
