Handballexercises for technique defense

• 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.

• Make groups of 3
• Mark off space of 2 by 4 meters.

• Player 1 has the ball and stands on one side of the 'field'.
• Goal is to give the ball to the 2nd player by running and turning with the ball around the defender (rugby style)
• The defender continues to defend the attacker frontally and gives counter pressure.

• On the front foot, give pressure frontally and not through the side

• Exercise 1:
  • 1 vs 1 without a goalkeeper in the goal so that shots can continue to be made in quick succession, when everyone has shot the balls pass and keep changing defenders. Then build up to 2 vs 2 and so on to 3 vs 3.
• Exercise 2:
  • Around the center line practice footwork with the ladders.
• Exercise 3:
  • Second line -> occupy the 3 buildup positions offensively and teach the second line. Starting on the left side, causing it to start up and come in, eventually ending up at the right build-up. the Middle and right build-ups both move up one position to the left. The ball passes through the left build-up to the right build-up, which then plays to the middle build-up who will finish.

• Defenders in left or right corner, 1 active defender.
• Attacker starts to the middle between the pawns and then sprints to the circle.
• Defender anticipates.
• At the 3rd run, the attacker tries to pass between the pawns without being tapped.
• Continuous switching between attacker and defender, both left and right.
• Attention to anticipation, keeping distance, footwork, mental toughness so don't give up!

• Only 1 player with ball needs to be on the center line, the goalkeeper can already blow the whistle.
• 2 teams, 2 goalkeepers in 1 goal area, so 2 stations.
• 2 defenders - 2 attackers.

• Keeper gets shot at goal, how does the defending side then get the ball to the center line as fast as possible with the foot, before the opposing team has run across the center line.

• Goalkeeper gets grab ball. How does the defending side get the ball across the center line as quickly as possible while the opposing team is allowed to defend?
• Points of attention:
  • Goalkeeper may run with ball in circle, and outside circle as field player -do not run with ball out of circle.
  • Connectability field players.

• In front of the goal, on the circle, an area of 4 meters is marked with hats. In between stands 1 defender. (preferably starting on the 9 meter)
• 2 players play towards the goal and try to outplay the defender. The defender tries to actively conquer the ball.
• After a shot on goal, or conquering the ball, the next duo approaches the goal
• After 3 to 4 rounds of play, the goalkeeper and defender must be switched.

• Allow the defender to make physical contact according to the rules. So do not clamp down, do not hold on to the arms, but do hold on to the front of the body

• In front of the goal, on the circle, an area of 6 meters is marked with hats. In between are 2 defenders. (preferably starting on the 9 meter)
• 3 Players play towards the goal and try to outplay the defender. The defenders try to actively conquer the ball.
• After a shot on goal, or conquering the ball, the next trio approaches the goal
• After 3 to 4 full rounds, goalkeeper and defender change places

• Lay down: 2 markers for the null pass, 3 markers for left right left - and that 2 times
• At the circle stand 2 (still passive) defenders.
• Attacker approaches them, throws the ball, defender throws it back so that the attacker can make a null pass, and execute the passing move: null pass - left, pass step to right, left to circle and shot.
• 1 station further, the movement is executed counterclockwise, with overpass and possible turn, or full turn.
• Pay attention to 'light feet'.

• 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.

• Players roll the ball
  • Go after it
  • Pick up the ball and dribble on
• Players roll the ball
  • Go after it
  • Run around the ball
  • While facing the same way
  • Then they pick up the ball and dribble on
• In pairs
  • Trainer stands between the two
  • Throws the ball away
  • Players run after it
  • Player who has the ball first becomes attacker, other defender
  • Does the striker succeed in shooting at the goal?

• Pairs of 2 with 1 ball

1. Player with ball tries to touch the mat with his foot
   • Other player tries to prevent it with the body
   • Defender has hands on his back
   • Each pair 2 times 1 minute, then change.
2. Both players are on their knees on the mat
   • Try to push each other off the mat
   • If someone is pushed off the mat, start again
3. Both on knees on the mat
   • 1 Holds ball, other player tries to take ball away
4. The ball is on the mat
   • Both players with their hands on the edge of the mat, roll the ball towards each other
5. Repeat, but then after contact with the ball move forward a bit, so that you have gone all the way around the mat
6. Ball between the heads of the players, on hands all around the mat. 

• Let the players think for themselves about what they have to do in different situations!
• Communication in (especially) the central block is important!
• Corners should not be too offensive, unless they actually have the ball

• What happens when the circle runner changes position?
• What happens when a corner passes?
• What happens when the opponent plays a rehearsed attack?
• When do you as left back court or right back court have to help?
• When do you as left back court or right back court have to step out?
• How far should you step out?

• An attack is played between 3 attackers and 2 defenders.
• The attack is played on a slightly wider field than the posts (about 6 meters)
• The goal of the attackers is to complete the attack, this can be done via an action or via the circle.
• The goal of the defenders is to prevent the attackers from finishing.

• The attackers play the ball quickly from left to right and try to provoke the defenders.
• If a defender steps, they can lay the ball off to the circle,
• If a defender doesn't step, they can play over or make their own move past the defender
• When a defender steps out, the second defender must step into the circle, the defence moves with the attack.
• If an attacker makes a move past the defender, the defender must try to get the attacker out of the 'zone' (the hats).

• 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.

• 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!
