Handball: 2:1 attack and defend

Set up 5 equal groups of players, one group on each sideline and 3 in the middle. Have several balls with both groups of sideline players. Also have two additional defenders (red players) stationed just inside the 9 meter line.

Player 1 starts the drill with a pass to player 2. Player 2 runs out to meet the pass and then passes it on to player 3 who passes to player 4.

Player 1 must chase the passes across the court to support the two red defenders as they press out to put pressure on the pass

When player 4 receives the ball they should look for the shot on goal.

The drill then starts from the other side - going from left to right.

Players stand in line waiting their turn to attack. The first player passes to player two in the middle who plays an immediate ball back into the path of the player who passed to them.

This player should then catch the ball and shoot with a center shot on goal.

Variations :

- center shot when running

- center shot hip height

- center shot knee height

 

First without a defender, later with a passive defender who only shows the attacker where to throw : defender has hands high --> attacker should decide for a shot at hip of knee height. Defender has hands low --> attacket decedis to throw with a high shoulder height center shot or running shot.

1 and 2 dribble to the goal on the outside of the cone and throw at the goal or pass to wing 3.Defender white 2 :- just let it happen- half active- fully match like

Players stand a few steps behind their cone.

The first player with the ball in hand should step up to their cone and then aim their pass in front of their target recipient (pass to that player's cone).

As the pass is made in front of them players should be ready to move forwards to receive the ball and then pass it to another player as fast as possible (without losing control of the ball).
