Handball: Out of the circle

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

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

Blue players must work together to try and prevent white players from breaking out of the circle.

To do so they must move quickly to pair up and form a human barrier in front of the white players as they try and burst out.

COACHING POINTS

Variations:

Blue players may only use their bodies, no arms.

After breaking out run as quickly as you can across a certain line, before the blue players are able to tag you.

Defending in a personal duel - key points:

- Arms slightly bent and slightly in front of you
- Prevent attackers from coming between your arms and move sidewards along with your attacker and stay between goal and attacker
- Pressure the attacker's movements
- Never jump, keep close contact with the floor and lots of small, quick steps to shadow the attacker!

Breaking through to shoot

Blue players line up behind three cones outside the 9 meter line.

The defender stands between the 7 and the 9 meter line, ready to block the attacker's run.

Attacking players take it in turns to dribble forwards and try and shuffle, feint and force their way past the defender.

After they have completed their run players then move in a clockwise direction to the next group.

Take on your man

The player in possession dribbles towards their defender until they are face to face with them.

Once facing the defender they must try and shuffle, run and push past their maker.

Pass around face-off

Blue players stand behind cones placed in a square, with two defenders stood inside a smaller square contained within the larger one.

The blue player who starts with the ball must dribble forwards and contest the area with the defender. The defending player can only use their torso to prevent the attacker from dribbling any further forwards.

After tussling with the defender the attacker must pass the ball in a clockwise direction to the next player and then run straight across the grid to the back of the opposite line.
