Handball: Cross-Court Pass and Shoot

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

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

Starting on the right backcourt player passes from right to left.

When the third player receives the ball on the left wing they should feint (either to go out or to go in) before then running towards the defender and shooting on goal. Defender only blocks (do not come forward)

Once they've shot on goal each player rotates to the next position.

COACHING POINTS

The attacker should shoot using a jump shot. Speed and explosive power are essential for this shot to be successful.

Depending on the level of your players the defender can be passive or active in their attempts to block the shot.

PROGRESSION

Defender acts as if to block the shot by holding his arms high to give space for the shot next to the defender's arms..
Defender jumps up to block the shot.
Defender is really active to prevent a goal shot.

Quick Switch - Simple Screen

Three groups of players - a group on each wing and a line of three players a couple of meters behind the free-throw line.

The play starts from the right wing with player 1 passing the first of the outfield players (player 2).

Player 2 moves forward to meet the pass and then plays the ball to their left for player 3 to meet and then across to player 4.

During this passing process player 1 must chase the passes across the court - screening to protect the pass and prevent the imaginary defender from receivnig the ball.

When player 4 receives the ball they should shoot on goal.

The drill then starts from the other side - going from left to right.
