Handball: NO man to man

After being passed the ball by the feeder/coach the attackers (blue 2 and blue 3) try to pass their way past the defenders. In this drill the two attackers can attack anywhere, and can overlap and swap positions at will in order to try and get past the defenders. The defenders however must mark the space, not the players, and so must communicate between one another so that both players are always marked, while ensuring that they don't change places.

Blue player 1 is the feeder in this drill and throws the ball to the players attempting to penetrate the defence. Blue players 2, on both sides of the court, take it in turns to run towards the defenders and try to find a gap through which they can run and make a shot on goal. If the attacker is shut out by the two defenders they can throw a one-two pass to blue player 3 and move into space to have one more attempt at breaking through.

The two attacking players take it in turns to attack the two defenders in a 2v1. The non-attacking player is the feeder and the receiving attacker must then run forward and try to test the defenders, changing direction at speed in order to create gaps at the back and test the defeder's ability to work together to keep out the threat.

B2 penetrates between R1 and R2. B1 and B2 cross. R1 and R2 give/take eachother's attacker. NEVER change positions.

R1 throws from the left wing. Sprints to cone at the other side, gets ball from B1 and throws at the goal. Sprint to cone in the center, get ball from B1 and throw at the goal. Do this 2 or 3 times.

After being passed the ball by the feeder/coach the attackers (blue 2 and blue 3) try to pass their way past the defenders. The two attackers (blue 2 and 3) can only attack against one defender, but the defenders can defend against either attacker (so they can support and back each other up to keep the attackers out).

Blue 1, 2 and 3 are the attackers and are trying to get into a gap between the attackers to release a shot on goal. The defenders must move laterally and communicate with one another to block off the attack.

Green attackers pass the ball and blue defenders take their own attacker. -Try to pass 10x without losing the ball. -Play 1 minute : how many times can defenders touch the ball

Attackers have to go to the other half after every pass.Defenders have to take other attackers every time.Try to warn each other by shouting short messages.If defenders steal the ball : change tasks

After every pass the attackers have to chnage their field. Defenders have to take over new attackers every second.

The blue team (back court players) are attacking and are passing the ball along the line, looking to find a chink in the defence so that they can pass the ball to either of the two forward green players (pivots). Meanwhile the blue defending players must work together and make good defending decisions. When an attacker comes forward a defender must step forward to mark the back court players while another defender moves across the cover the pivot.

Pass 2-1-2 and a pass to the pivot 3. Defenders blue 1 and 2 decide who steps forward to attacker 2 and who defends the pass to pivot 3

Pass 2-1-4-2Defender 6 steps forward to attacker 1.Defender 3steps forward to attacker 4.Defender 2 helps out attacker 3.Defender 1 steps forward to attacker 2.Defender 4 takes pivot 3

Defenders try to cooperate by 'giving' attackers to each other. So no man-to-man defense but trying to communiacte attakers to each other and try to intercept the ball.

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.
