Handball: introduction : center shot

Left-handers should shoot with their right foot in front, right-handers shoot with their left foot in front As you wind up to shoot get your hand at the same height as your shoulder and then pull the ball backwards. Your forearm should form a 90 degree angle with upper-arm Hip turns backwards together with the hand behind the ball with your fingers slightly spread. The third and final step involves moving forwards with a large and explosive drive - planting the 'weak' foot in the direction of the goal as the hand, arm and hips move forwards in the final movement.

White players must try to hit the last player of the 'dragon' (the four blue players in the middle are the dragon). Players in the dragon hold each other's hips or shoulders and try to avoid the ball. In order to hit the back of the dragon the white players must pass the ball quickly around the circle. The ball is not allowed to travel further than one player at a time.

Pairs move to and away from each other and move in to each other while passing. They should try to receive passes while moving towards the ball and also while retreating, working on receiving the ball while running in different directions and passing to moving players.

Pass B1-R1-B1 throw at goal. R1 runs around the cones and comes up to pass as a pivot. Variations : - center shot when running - center shot hip height - center shot knee height   First without a defender, (moving with sidesteps from left to right) later with a passive defender who only shows the attacker where to throw : defender has hands high --> attacker should decide for a shot at hip of knee height. Defender has hands low --> attacket decedis to throw with a high shoulder height center shot or running shot.

Both sides line up facing one another, with the ball starting on opposite sides. The player who starts with the ball throws to the player opposite them who then returns the ball. They then throw the second player on the opposite side who also returns the ball. Finally they throw the ball across to the third player on the opposite side who then returns the ball.

B1,B2 and B3 throw just along side their defenders after passing with them first. Attackers should always be in a forward motion when reveiving the pass. Variations : - center shot when running - center shot hip height - center shot knee height   The rather passive defender only shows the attacker where to throw : defender has hands high --> attacker should decide for a shot at hip of knee height.

If defender 2 steps forward: pass to pivot F or pass to B. Defenders 1 and 2 block the shot or steps forward.  

Pairs stand a couple of meters apart from one another and pass the ball to one another. Players can see how many times in a row they can pass without making a mistake. Alternatively players can take a small step back after each successful couple of passes - see which players can pass successfully from the greatest distance.

Players stand in line waiting their turn to attack. The first player passes to player two in the middle who plays an immediate ball back into the path of the player who passed to them. This player should then catch the ball and shoot with a center shot on goal. Variations : - center shot when running - center shot hip height - center shot knee height   First without a defender, later with a passive defender who only shows the attacker where to throw : defender has hands high --> attacker should decide for a shot at hip of knee height. Defender has hands low --> attacket decedis to throw with a high shoulder height center shot or running shot.

Players take it in turns to attack in a 2 vs 1, with one player from the left pairing with the central player or a player from the right pairing with the central player (player 1 and 2 or player 2 and 3). Once players are past the defender they should have a shot on goal before retrieving the ball and rejoining the back of their respective line.
