Handball: Anti-Clockwise - Triple Threat

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

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

Blue players pass the ball around the grid, always throwing the ball in front of the player so that they have to meet the ball.

This time though there are 6 players stood between the outer edge players and three defenders who are working together to mark two players each.

The central defender must only go up and down, always marking the central blue players. Defender 1 and 2 must work together and cross over so that player one is always marking the player on their right side and player two is always marking on the outside left.

COACHING POINTS

To begin with defenders are fairly passive, as the drill progresses though you can increase their role.

To make the drill more live blue players can choose which direction to pass the ball around the grid and green players are allowed to try and win the ball - if they successfully tackle the ball they swap places with the outside player.

Around the circle

Players pass the ball clockwise around the area.

The players nearest the end players receive the ball alternately and throw the ball to the next player who then passes to the end player.

Anti-Clockwise Cross-Over Contest

Blue players pass the ball around the grid, always throwing the ball in front of the player so that they have to meet the ball.

The green players in the middle must work together to move forwards and challenge for the ball. After one player has contested (against players 3, 4, 5 or 6) they must cross-over and be ready to challenge for the ball again against the player on the opposite side of the square.

Defensive Contacts

To practice coming together players must side-step between the cones. When they come to the close together clones players should come together, jump towards one another and clap hands while jumping up. Players continue this pattern and and then run back to the start.

Defensive stance

As players run forward to defend they should think about their stance and approach: They should take small, fast steps (never jump) to avoid over-committing. Approach diagonally, facing towards the ball, and angling their body to direct their opponent away from the goal area. Keep their arms open, wide and high. Stand on the balls of their feet with knees slightly bent.
