Handball: Draw in the defender - Running center shot

Many thanks. This resource has helped me a lot, as a coach and as...

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

The ball starts on the wing and the first pass is played into the path of the player 2.

Players runs forward with the ball with the intention of engaging the defender, drawing them away from player 3 in the middle.

Once the defender has been drawn in player two makes the pass for player 3 to run onto and shoot from, using a running center shot.

COACHING POINTS

Variations:

Players can shoot with either a center shot, a hip height shot or a jump shot

If the defender doesn't come to block player 2 they can run past the defender and take the shot on themselves.

After each repetition players move on the next station.

Try to score - 3v2:

Set up your players up in three equal lines. Only the player at the start of line 1 has a ball.

Blue 1 starts the drill with a pass to blue 2 who runs onto the ball and tries to break past the two defenders. If they are unable to find space for the shot they must pass to player 3 who repeats the process.

Drill continues in this way (blue1 - blue2 - blue3 - blue1...)until an opening for the shot has been created.
