In December the Dutch National HandballUnion (NHV) decided to
make the Handball Trainer Online their partner in improving
the Dutch Handball level.
In November the plan was introduced during
the Lucardi Cup tournament in Rotterdam. Some 64 coaches were
present to listen to the theoretical background info of the
site. Later that day a complete training sessions was given
to a group of youths from Rotterdam and The Hague in the TopSportCentre
of Rotterdam.
All Dutch clubs could get their free voucher to the Handball Trainer Online to have a look at the free demo site but the clubs could also use the already 48 free training sessions worked out by the Handball Trainer Online.
At the moment there are 12 ready-made-sessions for the 6-7 year old and the 8-9 tear olds.

Improving attacking skills with 9 - 11 year olds
In modern handball individual skills are essential for success.
Players should learn this at an early age. Tactics are not so
important at this age. The only tactical settings we know are
defensive. We choose for an offensive way of defending. Attacking
players in possession and try to get the ball. More and more
commonly used is the 3:3 defensive system. Tasks :
offensive line :
1) try disturbing ballcirculation of the attackers
2) try to intercept the ball
defensive line :
1) take over attackers who have broken through the offensive line
As a coach, try to devide the court into three parts : left, center, right.
Put players in each part.
Players should follow and attack players in the first line and give them to the second line when broken through.
DO NOT follow them, unless there are to few players in the second line.
Advantages :
ALL players are in motion
ALL players join in the game.
No one can 'hide' in the mass of players.
Players need to cover a lot of space on the court.
There is a contant confrontation with an opponent : many learning moments
You can put players of an equal level together.
Attackers need to think about solutions to score.
This concepts meets with the need to move abundantly, it's playful and it meets with their individualism
It's easy to change players during the match.
When coaching : stimulate and activate the children.
Form 1 : 3 players begin at the throw off line, 3 players are on the free throw line (offensive form)
Form 2 : 3 players begin at the the free throw line, 3 players are on the goal line (defensive form)
offensive way |
defensive way |
Players and coaches find it a nice way of playing in defense.
However...............
The same kids and coaches find it almost impossible to play against such form of defending, because they do not
have the attacking skills. They have insufficient technical 'tools' to play against a 3:3 defensive system.
Learning how to dribble and feint, dummy with and without a ball are essential.
Drills for these individual skill are provided in the database, group skills for attacking are nowhere to be found.
Handball Trainer Online however provides them !
Further down a methodical series of drills for this purpose.
I hope you and your kids will enjoy them !
More drills later this month in the database.
