Handball: Attacking Waves - 2v2

Thank you Sportplan. The drills and videos have been extremely beneficial...

Dumitru

DESCRIPTION

In this game the wing player (green 1) feeds the ball to the first attacker who then works with their partner to try and get past the two defenders.

Always try to get stuck into the two defenders, play the ball fast and always move back quickly to get into a new position to receive the pass back immediately and change the direction of the attacking 'wave'.

COACHING POINTS

You can gradually build up the numbers in this half court attacking game - 4v4, 5v5 until you finally have 6v6 on court players (and a keeper for the defending side).

4 vs 4 - Make the Space:

4 attacking players against 4 defenders - with the attackers trying to score a goal.

The attackers start on either wing and take it in turn to run forward and try to get past their opposite number.

If they are unable to get past their marker the players should pass the ball across the line to a fellow attacker.

position play 3:3

Late Support:

The wide attacker plays a one-two pass with the central attacking player. After this they then run forward and try to get past the left back.

If they're unable to get past on their own they should wait for the support run from the central player who should aim to run between the defenders and play a jump shot on goal.
