Handball: Hit the benches - Defence v Attack

This is the best handball site I have visited.
Joelma

DESCRIPTION

The blue team are the attackers and the whites are defenders, working in one third of the court.

Blue players must pass the ball around to create a good chance for throwing at the benches, all while staying behind a certain line.

The white players' job is to protect the benches and block the shots.

COACHING POINTS

Swap team over every one/two minutes - which team can score the most points?

shooting/defend shooting
Two is too many | 111 running/jumping/moving

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.
