Handball: Go to every other ball

Description

Blue players are passing the ball around the area in a clockwise direction with the aim of trying to pass to the green player in the centre.

The two red defenders must work as a team to share the defending responsibilities to successfully close down the blue players every time they receive a pass.

Coaching points

Defenders should communicate. e.g. 'mine' or 'I've got'

Defending pivot:

One hand in the back of pivot, other hand between the hands of the pivot.

Progression:

Allow the outside players to pass the ball in any direction they want (clockwise or anti-clockwise).
