Handball: Fast Break - Defence into attack

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

Abier, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

Have a line of attacking players all with a ball each standing on both sides of the court. Inside the 9m line will be two defenders, one on each side.

The drill starts with the first attacker running at goal and shooting on goal. The defenders are allowed to obstruct the shot but not tackle.

Once the ball is in the hands of the keeper they should throw it out to the defender who is making a fast break-away run up the court.

After running to the half-way line the defender joins the back of the queue, the attacking player becomes the next defender and the drill begins again on the other side of the court.

COACHING POINTS

Your keeper will need to quickly get the ball under control and play a pass into the path of the running defender.

Defence to Attack

The attackers line on both sides if the court, each with a ball, and take it in turns to run forwards, take the ball round the defender and have a half pace shot on goal (making it easy for the keeper to gather the ball).

As soon as the defender sees the keeper make the save they then make their move up field - presenting themselves as a passing option for the keeper.

The keeper should then release the ball into the path of the break-away defender who then moves up field to the centre line before then jogging to rejoin the back of the line to go again.

warming up

Pass down the line

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.

warming-up : Give and Go snake run passing

The first player waiting in line passes to the first player on the cone and immediately follows their pass and runs behind that player to receive the return pass.

Once they have the ball in hand again they pass the ball to the next player and drive behind them to loop in front of them and receive the ball again.

Once the player reaches the end of the course they dribble the ball to the corner and then sprint around the court back to the end of the line with the ball in hand.
