Handball: Airfield

Description

Players run around the area, changing direction regularly.

One player is the flight controller and tags players who must run to the landing area between the cones.

Once safely in touching distance of the crash mat players should dive and land on the mat.

After 'landing' they then take off again.

Coaching points

For the purpose of improving players' diving technique you could get players to:

Practice throwing a dummy shot on goal (with no ball)

and throwing on goal as they dive (to really get players thinking about how they should land after shooting at goal from a diving shot).
