Handballexercise: passing and turning against shooting arm

Objective

• Learn and refine a new variant of passing movement: turning to the left (against the shooting arm).

Execution

• Place a defender (pole, dummy, player).
• Use a goal or cones as a target, with a goalkeeper in place.
• Work in groups of 2 or 3 players.
• Start first without a ball, then with a ball.

Rules

• After throwing, retrieve the ball yourself.
• You receive the ball in the jump so that your two-foot landing counts as a zero step.

Points of Attention

• Technical: Right-handed player: after the two-foot landing, turn backward with the right leg and place it down. Take one step with the left towards the goal. In the turn, already bring your arm into shooting position (so lift it up). Stay as upright as possible. Push off with your left leg and make your jump shot at the goal. A left-handed player does this exactly the opposite way.
• Tactical: Make your zero step as much as possible on the right side (right-handed player) of the defender.
• Physical/Mental: Optionally create a line for left-handed and right-handed players, continue one after the other.

Build Up the Exercise in Difficulty

• Step 1: Without a ball (defender is a pole).
• Step 2: With own ball dribbling (defender is a pole).
• Step 3: Receive the ball from the defender (defender is a player).
• Step 4: Receive the ball from a teammate.
• Step 5: Two lines opposite each other. You cross in the middle and after the passing movement, pass the ball to the front player of the line and join the back.

Extra Challenge

• Players who can already do this well can also practice turning towards the shooting arm. Right-handed player: after two-foot landing, turn away with the left leg and make the last step with the right towards the goal. Left-handed player: after two-foot landing, turn away with the right leg and make the last step with the left towards the goal.
