Handball: watch dog

Excellent site. Very concise and easy to use. I'll definitely be emailing...

David, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

Somewhere a rope is tied to the wall or something else.
The dog should hold this rope and he must 'bite' other players by touching them.
The dog should be able to reach all of the field.
Make field as large as the dog can reach.
Inside the field aere several cones the dog should protect, other players try to rob the cones without being touched.

Mind the rope !!

Players who have been touched may continue playing.
How many players can the dog 'bite' in 45 seconds ?

OFTEN USED WITH...

Two is too many

All players stand in a big circle except for the tagger. The coach appoints one player as the 'chosen one'.

The tagger must not listen or look whilst the coach is selecting the chosen player.

Once the player has been selected by the coach the tagger starts hunting for the chosen player.

When the tagger positions themselves in front of the chosen player the player must run away - around the outside of the circle of players.

From this point the tagger has up to 45 seconds to catch the player.

Playing tag

In this game players run inside the area and attempt to avoid being caught by the taggers.

Players are safe from being tagged if they are sitting on the floor, with their feet off the ground.

Players are only allowed to stay on the floor for 3 seconds, then they have to get up and run away again.

Tag men are not allowed to wait for the player during these 3 seconds.

112 falling/rolling

tag my tail

Players stand and move in one line.
Hands to shoulders or hands on hips of player in front of you.

There is one tag man who tries to tag the last player of the queue.

Other players move in such a way that it becomes difficult for the tag man.

variations :
- change the last person of the group every time he gets tagged
- change after 1 minute
- make the queue shorter

Who is back first ?

Players are in a circle.
Pairs are opposite eachother and get the same number.
When the trainer calls out a number, the pair in question sprint to the ball and try to get it before the other one of the pair does.

Variations
- just touch the ball and sprint back : Who is back first ?
- run backwards back to your position
- hop one one leg to the ball and back
- make the distance to the ball larger, shorter
