Handball: Meet the Pass

Attackers pass the ball along the line and defenders must run forward to defend. Attacking players are trying to move the ball quickly in order to create an opening for a shot. They can do this through use of fast passes, feints and dummies.

B is the feeder who throws the introduction pass 1 (either to A or to B). Player A runs towards wingplayer E and passes to E. E goes in between the cones (1st and 2nd defender) and passes to A, who retreated backwards and comes in again at full speed, receiving the pass from E and quickly passes the ball to the incoming C, who goes in between the cones (1st and 2nd defender) and passes to D, who throws at the goal. B now plays his first pass to C and the shot will finally come from player E.

B is the feeder who throws the introduction pass 1 (either to A or to B). Player A runs towards wingplayer E and passes to E. E goes in between the defender and the cone and passes to A only when the defender really 'grabs' E. A retreated backwards in the meanwhile and comes in again at full speed, receiving the pass from E and quickly passes the ball to the incoming C, who goes directly to the defender and passes to D when the defender really attacks him. D throws at the goal. B now plays his first pass to C and the shot will finally come from player E.

B is the feeder who throws the introduction pass 1 (either to A or to B). Player A runs towards wingplayer E and passes to E. E goes in between the two defenders and passes to A only when the defender really 'grabs' E. A retreated backwards in the meanwhile and comes in again at full speed, receiving the pass from E and quickly passes the ball to the incoming C, who goes directly to the defender and passes to D when the defender really attacks him. D throws at the goal. B now plays his first pass to C and the shot will finally come from player E.

E goes in between the two defenders and passes to A only when the defender really 'grabs' E. A retreated backwards in the meanwhile and comes in again at full speed in between defender 2 and 3 receiving the pass from E and passes the ball after being attacked by 2nd and 3rd defender, to the incoming C, who goes directly to the 4th defender and passes to D when the defender really attacks him, if not then C throws at the goal himself. D throws at the goal if C hasn't done so. B now plays his first pass to C and the shot will finally come from player E.

Players line up on both sides of the court with a ball in hand. They take it in turns to pass the ball to player 1 and then progress up the court. As they move down the court the defender picks up the runner and passively shadows their movement. The attacker must then move inwards before then sharply cutting outside to lose their marker, receive the ball from player 1 and make a shot on goal.

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.

Players start by standing a few steps away from their cone and the ball is passed clockwise around the square. Passing players should pass the ball in front of the receiver by aiming at their cone. The receiving player must advance to the cone to receive the pass before then sending the ball onwards

Players stand a few steps behind their cone. The first player with the ball in hand should step up to their cone and then aim their pass in front of their target recipient (pass to that player's cone). As the pass is made in front of them players should be ready to move forwards to receive the ball and then pass it to another player as fast as possible (without losing control of the ball).

Player 1 is acting as the feeder as all other players line up to their left and right. Player one carries the ball towards the defender in order to create space for the players to their left and right. Once they have engaged the defender they should offload the ball to their left, in front of player 2. Player 2 so must move forwards to meet the pass. Once they have the ball under control they should switch the ball cross-court to player 3, making sure their pass is out of the defender's reach. Player 3 runs onto this pass and then shoots on goal.

Player 3 runs onto this pass and must then engage the second defender before offloading a quick pass to player 4 who then runs on to shoot on goal.

Player 1 is acting as the feeder as all other players line up to their left and right. Player 1 passes to the left first, in front of player 2 so that they must move forwards to meet the pass. Once they have the ball under control they should switch the ball cross-court to player 3. Player 3 runs onto this pass and then shoots on goal.

Blue 1 feeds the ball in front of blue 2 who then duels with their opposite number before passing the ball across the pitch to the next attacking player. The final player lays the ball off to the lone player, once all the balls are with this player the drill restarts in the opposite direction.
