Handball: Fake your way past

Scoring more points than the other team is the end game. Increase your players passing and shooting ability and enhance your team's success!

Get your players moving - using fast feet, body feints and and speed to create space for the shot in this fun feinting skill session!

Break through the final man with a little feint or give and go and get your shot of early to speed into the lead!

In this drill players receive a wide pass and then move towards the defender.

Once they're within arm's reach they should move as if they're offloading the ball across their body (so a right hander would feint the pass to the left). At the same time they they should drop their left shoulder to make the move more convincing.

After doing this the attacker should quickly shift their weight and push off their left foot to explode in the opposite direction and run around the right of the defender.

Out of the turning movement you make a movement forward with your trunk bent forward.

Diving/ rolling:

1. Take off with one or two feet.

Bend forward with ankle, knee and hip, trunk bent forward, eyes to the goal.

2. After the shot both arms touch the floor because directly after the shot the landing takes place.

3. There must be a fast bending of the arm to cushion the fall, the trunk is brought forward and the head is in the neck.

4. Both legs are bent almost 90 degrees, feet upward. Slide forward on the floor when the chest touches the floor. Head in the neck.

5. Chest, belly and upper leg slide on the floor, while the arms push the body along the floor.

6. The body slides forward, while elbows and wrists are completely bent.

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.

jump shot
- during forward run bring up the ball to shoulder height
- third step is explosive and large
- in the air the hip should go backward together with the throwing arm
- pull up other leg untill upper leg is horizontal
- screw back the hip
- the arm follows this movement explosively to the front
- point after the ball where it should go
- land on the same leg as you jumped off


left hander : right foot for jump off
right hander : left foot for jump off
