Handballexercises for technique attack / offense

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.

• Develop automatisms in feint movements.

• Players from above and below meet each other.
• Execute a zero-step.
• Perform a feint movement and throw the ball to the opposite side.
• Join the end of the line.
• Repeat the exercise with players on the left and right.
• Gradually increase the pace.
• Also practice the 'resistance' of a defender you encounter on the way.

• The pivot player indicates where he or she wants to receive the ball by raising his or her hand.

• Start from the centre line with a formation of 5 versus 4 or 5 versus 5.
• The trainer throws the ball to the attackers.
• The defenders may start immediately after the throw.

• The attackers attempt to score.
• The defenders try to gain possession of the ball.

• Practising attack and defence in match situations with high tempo.

• Focus points for attack: A lot of movement, do not stay in one place.
• Focus points for defence: Who steps out and when.

• Defence is outnumbered and tries to break the attack by slowing down the pace.

• Defence is fully positioned with a pivot behind them.
• Focus points: Who has the pivot and when do they step out.

• Same as 4-against-4, but now first the left wing player (LW) and then the right wing player (RW) are involved.

• Five players stand on the 6-metre line and hold each other's hands.
• One attacker tries to dribble past the defenders and finish.

• The defenders must work together and move in unison to stop the attacker.
• There are two stations where the attacker changes each time.

• Pass the ball in the sequence Backcourt Player 4 to Backcourt Player 3 to Backcourt Player 1 and back to Backcourt Player 3.
• Finish by scoring past the defensively blocking right player (Right Backcourt Player 1).

• Blue attempts to dribble towards the goal.
• Red tries to prevent this by tapping the ball away.

• Blue moves slowly.
• Blue moves quickly.
• Blue moves at top speed.

• The Left Wing Player (LW) starts by applying pressure on the outside of the wing defender.
• The Left Backcourt Player (LB) applies pressure between the wing defender and the defending Right Backcourt Player.
• The Centre Backcourt Player (CB) applies pressure between the defending Right Backcourt Player and the Centre Back.
• The Right Backcourt Player (RB) applies pressure between the Centre Back and the defending Left Backcourt Player.
• The Right Wing Player (RW) applies pressure between the defending Left Backcourt Player and the wing defender.
• The RW moves around the outside of the wing defender and shoots at the goal.
• Shift positions.

• The left backcourt player passes the ball with a bounce to the wing player.
• The wing player returns the ball to the left backcourt player.
• The left backcourt player puts pressure on the defence.
• The wing player moves behind and receives the ball.
• The wing player passes the ball to the right backcourt player and waits briefly.
• The wing player starts towards the circle between positions 3 and 2.
• The wing player receives the ball from the right backcourt player and finishes on goal.

Description

• This game can be played as a final game, during training, or as a warm-up. It is appealing because it can be easily differentiated and changed.

Execution

• Two teams are formed in an area of approximately 10 by 10 metres. One team starts with the ball and tries to pass it 10 times to a teammate.
• The other team tries to intercept the ball and then also pass it 10 times.

Variations

• Make the field larger or smaller.
• Use a different way of passing, such as mandatory bouncing or through the air.

• Play an internal match.
• If necessary, pause the game.
• Have players observe positions: who is where and what choice do you make to pass the ball?
