Handball: Back and Forth 2

Focus the attack, draw the opposition's defence out of position and then quickly switch the ball to the opposite wing to create space!

How do your players cope when the opposition are in their face? Find out with this playing in congested space skills session

Set up 5 equal groups of players, one group on each sideline and 3 in the middle. Have several balls with both groups of sideline players. Also have two additional defenders (red players) stationed just inside the 9 meter line.

Player 1 starts the drill with a pass to player 2. Player 2 runs out to meet the pass and then passes it on to player 3 who passes to player 4.

Player 1 must chase the passes across the court to support the two red defenders as they press out to put pressure on the pass

When player 4 receives the ball they should look for the shot on goal.

The drill then starts from the other side - going from left to right.

Player 1 starts the drill with a pass to player 2. Player 2 runs out to meet the pass and then passes it on to player 3 who passes to player 4 who finishes with a shot on goal.

Immediately after passing though player 1 must chase down their own pass, making sure they're in a position to block the shot when blue 4 is in possession.

Players in the middle rejoin the back of their own lines after receiving the pass/shooting.

Sideline players join the back of the line on the opposite side of the court after blocking the shot.

Player 1 starts this drill from the right wing and passes to player 2. Player 2 then passes to player 3 who passes to player 4.

After they've passed the ball player 2 moves forward, in behind the defence to the right wing position and waits to receive the return pass from player 3 (who was passed to by player 4).

To finish the move player 2 has a shot on goal.

During this passing process the two defenders press out to put pressure on the pass and player 1 runs across the court to set a screen between the defender and the attackers.
