Handball: Backcourt low shot

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

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

Pass B2-B2 (wing) back to B2 who throws at the goal. After the shot the attaquer becomes defender and the defender becomes attaquer. In the meanwhile ther is a shot on the right side.

COACHING POINTS

Feint as if to throw a high shot and lower your arm at the very lats moment. In fact do as you normally do : keep arm high, to surprise defenders when doing differently.

To begin with defenders will deliberately form a bit of an X shape, with arms wide in the air. This will leave a gap for the attackers to shoot through.

As the drill progresses you can give the defenders a more active role - allowing them to make more substantial efforts to intercept the ball.

PROGRESSION

Defender acts as if to block the normal center shot by holding his arms high to give space for the shot at hip height.
Defender holds arms high OR low : attaquer has to make a choice : center shot normal OR hip height.
Defender is really active to prevent throwing.

Center shot - Hip height

Center shot hip height: A right hander should take one right footed step forward when they are about an arm's length away from their opponent. They should raise their arm to shoulder height, backwards, as if to make a normal center shot. Their right hip should be turning backward with arm and shoulder together. The player should then take a large step with their left foot, almost so that it is between the opponent's legs. The final move - players' arms move from back to front explosively, with their hand behind the ball (hand should be sideways, like you want to sweep the floor with the side of your hand). Finally, let go of the ball and point in the direction you want to throw it.
