Handballexercises for u15
Last update: january 2026
- 1 attacker throws on goal
- 2nd attacker goes out already
- Goalkeeper grabs the ball as quickly as possible
- Defender closest to the substitution area steps out
- Attacker steps in
- Goalkeeper passes to attacker on line / or stepping in attacker at center
- On the opposite side, defenders come in as quickly as possible
- Pass the game back and forth
How do you defend this?
- Runner! Can intercept - can get to ball, not just receiver
- Runner starts in during completion
- Set down hurdles or double low hats in a left-right pattern.
- With 2 legs over the hurdle, wide step sideways and again with 2 legs over the hurdle.
- Mats at the 9 meter on build-up positions: stand next to the mat - with 1 leg a wide jump over the mat and then complete with 2 or 3 passes, depending on the side you choose
- Practice the above without mat, with opponent as dummy :-)
- 1 versus 1 in a narrow space: demarcate with markers - first walk forwards and backwards, so pass each other twice, then start the attack. Practice passing and feinting.
- Try to get a quartet with your team by getting 3 or 4 of the same objects (e.g. 4 cubes) in your box.
- Prevent another team from stealing objects from you by tapping them.
- Rules:
- In your own box you are free and cannot be tapped.
- If you are in another square you can be tapped.
- If you are tapped you walk around the outside back to your own square.
- If you are in an opponent's square without being tapped, you are free to return to your own square with the stolen object.
- You may only take one object at a time.
- A team has won if it has 4 same objects in its own box.
- Variations/adaptations:
- You can be tapped on the way back.
- Add extra quartets.
- This describes a system where the builders run a switch.
- The circle runner decides on which side the substitution will be made.
- If the circle runner is on the right side of the middle defender, the substitution is also made on the right.
- The middle constructor has the ball and gives a pass to the right constructor.
- The middle constructor, after playing the ball to the right constructor, puts a bar on the defending second constructor.
- The right hand builder goes behind the middle builder and ends up in the middle.
- The left-hand builder goes behind the right-hand builder again.
- This exchange takes place between circle runner.
- And the corner players.
- The circle runner moves without the ball from the middle to the side and puts a barrier on the defending corner player.
- The attacking corner player has the ball at that moment and can make use of the obstruction.
- Or pass the ball to the set-up player
- Who then passes the ball on to the half-career player and so on
- The attacking corner player who passed the ball on to the attacker "runs with the ball" inside the 9m, slowing down a little.
- He or she then comes between defender 2 and 3 towards the goal again and may receive the ball from the up-and-comer who has already received it at that point.
Everyone a ball and bounce through 6 meter area. Doing different exercises:
- Bounce the ball through your legs every now and then
- Bounce the ball behind your back
- Try to catch the ball from someone else.
- Bounce on the spot, sit while bouncing, then lie down and then stand up again.
- Bounce with the wrong hand
Variant with the whistle:
- 1 whistle means bouncing with the wrong hand,
- To whistle twice is to pass the ball to someone you see,
- 3 whistles means bouncing the ball quickly to the touchline and back again.
- 1 defender (V1) with attacker (A1) on the circle
- 1 defender (V2) in front who has to catch the attacking structure (A2)
- Attacking set-up A2 receives ball from the corner (A3) and runs towards V2;
- A1 steps out and stands left of V2 and blocks, A2 passes V2 on the right who is blocked by A1;
- Circle defender V1 has to choose, either follow A1 or pass to A2;
- A2 has to choose, if V1 comes, pass to A1, who then turns away from block position and stands free on the circle;
- or A2 shoots himself if V1 chooses to continue defending A1.
- Ball starts at RH.
- RH puts pressure between 2 defenders and passes to RO.
- RO presses between 2 defenders and passes to MO.
- MO pressures between 2 defenders.
- CS puts barrier on offensive defender of LO.
- LO gets round the bar and finishes.
- Attention! The pressure is very important in this exercise so that
the MA will not be back in time to cover the ball.
- LH starts to pressure the outside of the corner defender
- LO puts pressure between the corner defender and defensive right wing
- MO pressurises between the defending right build-up and the centre back
- RO pressurises between mid-back and defensive left
- RH puts pressure between defensive left build-up and corner defender
- RH sidesteps the corner defender and throws on goal
- Passing

Different parts in groups of 4
. Each part is done for 3 minutes, after 1,5 minute a rest of 20 sec.
- Bench - push yourself forward on your belly
- Ladder - Self-selected ladder exercises, at tempo!
- Skipping rope - Jumping rope, alternating between 2 legs and 1 leg.
- Mat - Use as a surface for sit-ups.
- Step - 2 feet on the step, 2 feet off the step.
- Pawns - slide into a triangle. Forward, back, sideways, forward etc.
- Large mat - Opposite each other to push the mat away.
Attacker plays ball to defender. Pull the ball together (short).
- After that, the attacker must have been behind the line with his butt on the ground
- He can more or less drop backwards when the defender releases the ball.
- At the same time, the defender goes back to the circle and comes forward again.
- Then attacker and defender go 1:1.

A.
- Per trio 2 pawns.
- One is defender, two are attacker.
- Attacker tries to get past the defender.
Pay attention to: one foot in front, arm in right place (shoulder and hip), defend forwards.

B. Next with ball.
Attacker must press the ball to the ground behind the line.
Attention: Defending on shot arm,
Each player own ball. First normal throw in.
- Three pawns on each pitch in a line.
- Two times around the pawn, then throw at the goal.
- Finish with stretching throw.
Pay attention to: arm high, good leg in front, pointing the ball after the players, trunk work.
Goal: footwork and throwing.
