Handball drills for technique defense

• 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 ......

• 6 pawns / 2 x 2 pawns about 5 to 6 m apart at the height of 11 to 12m / 2 pawns at the height of 7m to demarcate the field / see image
• players divide into 2 teams / 1 team wears shirts
• 1 point of play on the center line with all balls
• players stand behind a pawn diagonally from each other.
• first player with and without vests start sprinting at the same time from 1 to the other pawn and pass the pawn and sprint again.
• after the 2nd sprint, 1 player receives the ball and goes 1:1 against the other player

• Make 2 teams. 4 defenders, 6 attackers
• 8 mats in a circle, 4 defenders try to intercept the ball.
• Attackers must move to another mat after every ball contact.
  • Free running by stepping on other mats is also allowed!
  • Receive ball only on the mat!
  • Intercepted ball, then change players.
  • Option: chase the ball, free running on another mat is also allowed!
• Point of attention: defensive position, light on the feet, arms in good position.
  • (oblique to the body and slightly bent)

• Players jump on 2 legs, different directions.
  • 2 teams follow each other.
  • Without and with ball between ankles.
• Run on the spot, on signal assume defensive position.
  • (arms slightly bent, legs slightly in stride, knees slightly bent).
• Run/walk through the hall and on sign do the same.
  • Also with change of direction. (left/right/back and then sign)
• Teams of 2: shuffle hand in hand, change direction when signaled.
  • (sign verbally or non verbally by me)
• 2 teams each with 1 ball.
  • Next to each other tip forward, on sign of the ball tip harder, slide to ball of the other and continue tipping.
• 2 teams of 4 with 1 ball. A, B and C on 1 line with about 2 meter distance.
  • D has the ball, D passes to B, B passes back to D and shoots a straight pass.
  • B steps out and A and C move against each other.
• 6 defenders inside the 9 meters. 4 attackers outside.
  • Attackers try to get inside the 9.
  • Defenders try to prevent this.

• Player starts from the corner, moves across the circle and out towards the pawns

• 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 minutes, after 10 min everyone will have played every position.
  Pass quickly and accurately, and put pressure in the joint (i.e. between 2 defenders, if the defenders get the ball, the exercise stops and you start again from the other side.
  

• Both start in a corner,
• circle the pawn, whoever gets to the ball first is the attacker
• and tries to score.
