Handball: Around the circle

Share the load, mark the opposition out of the game as a team with this fast footwork pressure defending session!

Get your players working hard on their zonal defence, picking up and passing on the opposition's attackers to make sure no player goes unmarked!

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.

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.

As the blue players run out to meet the pass green 1 and 2 must also run out to contest and defend the ball.

The first player waiting in line passes to the first player on the cone and immediately follows their pass and runs behind that player to receive the return pass.

Once they have the ball in hand again they pass the ball to the next player and drive behind them to loop in front of them and receive the ball again.

Once the player reaches the end of the course they dribble the ball to the corner and then sprint around the court back to the end of the line with the ball in hand.

B pass around.
G defends pases to R1.
