This is the best handball site I have visited.

DESCRIPTION

Positions :
One libero stays between 6 and 9 meters to help in case of emergency.
Rest of the players defend man-to-man.
There is a man free, but he can hardly be found in the running mass of players.

COACHING POINTS

defending in a personal duel

- arms are slightly bent
- arms in front of you
- prevent attackers to come into between your arms
- move sidewards along with your attacker and stay between goal and attacker
- put counter pression onto the attacker's movements
- feet movements are most important together with slightly stretched arms
- never jump, keep close contact with the floor

No pass to Green:

The first player waiting in the line passes to blue one on the side of the court and moves forward to receive the return pass.

At this point dependin on where the blue player has received the pass the red defenders should communicate and decide which of them is best placed to come out and defend against the oncoming attacker.

The 'spare' defender should position themsleves beside the green player, ready to intercept the pass from the attacking player.
