Handball: I choose you - Block the tag!

Your website has been very helpful. What I have learnt has helped...

Abier, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

The white player starts the drill by pointing to the player they want to tag.

After having pointed the white player then proceeds to try and catch that player.

Meanwhile the other players have to try and prevent the white player from tagging their man by blocking their way towards the person they want to tag.

COACHING POINTS

The art of screening:

Choose the right moment to set your screen. Push yourself off your player to make them unbalanced and only use your body to block your opponent, remembering to stand still when there is body contact with the attacker.

The two screens:

1. Front screen - Make contact with the front part of the body (you cannot be played).

2. Back screen - Team mates can still pass to you, so when screened get loose from defender immediately.

Meet the Pass

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).

Pass, receive, screen and lay off

White player 1 passes the ball to green player 1 stood just inside the 6 metre line. Green player 1 should drive onto the ball and pivot in front of blue player 1, to prevent them from intercepting green player 1's pass into the path of white player 1. White player 1 then dribbles the ball across to white player 2 and the drill starts again on the other side.
