Handball: Shut Down - No Escape

Description

Players stand with one player in the middle and five around the outside.

It's the aim of the outside players to pair up and shut down the middle player's escape route - using shoulder strength to box out the middle player.

Coaching points

Defending in a personal duel:

Be strong but don't push!

Keep arms slightly bent and in front of you, prevent the attacker from coming between your arms. Stay between the goal and attacker.
