Handball: Dribbling duel

Many thanks. This resource has helped me a lot, as a coach and as...
Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

One player dribbles while their partner tries to get the ball from them.

To start with players should only be shadowing one another - not actively trying to tackle the ball.

Once players have become more confident at dribbling and shadowing you can then allow the defender to try and win the ball.

COACHING POINTS

How many times can the defender successfully win the ball in one minute?

Variations :

The dribbler must - dribble with their 'wrong' hand and dribble in a left, right, left, pattern.

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.

falling/rolling
Cone Ball | 217 shooting/defend shooting

Cone Ball:

Two teams stand at opposite ends of the area, each player has a ball, with a line of cones along the middle.

Standing at a distance from the cones (increase/ decrease distance dependant on players' ages) players take it in turns to throw and aim at the cones.

Each cone that a player hits is a point for their team. Once all the cones have been hit the team with the most points is the winner.
