Handball Drills

   Setup :     Two gymnastic boxes (or similar objects) are placed in a corner of the room with some space between them, forming the dragon’s cave. Alternatively, a single mat can be used to represent the cave, though it is less visually engaging.     One child is selected to be the dragon and starts inside the cave.     The other children spread out across the room.    Gameplay :     The children call out: "Dragon, come out!"     The dragon leaves the cave and tries to catch one of the children.     When a child is caught, they are brought back to the cave and become a dragon as well.     The children call out again: "Dragon, come out!" Now, all dragons hunt together to catch more children.     The game continues until all children are caught.    Winning :     The last child caught is the winner and becomes the first dragon for the next round. Making It More Challenging :   Dribbling Challenge: All children must dribble a ball while running, making it harder to escape the dragon.

Setup: Two teams are positioned around a circle, standing opposite each other. One player from each team stands in the middle of the circle. Objective: The players in the circle try to hit the opposing team’s player in the middle with the ball. The players in the middle move strategically to avoid being hit and attempts to deflect or redirect balls thrown by the opposing team to their own teammates on the opposite side. Rules: If the player in the middle is hit, they must switch places with a teammate from their own team in the circle. The game continues with the new middle player. Track the number of successful hits within a set time frame to determine the winner. Ways to Make It Harder: Adjust the size of the circle (smaller or larger). Allow the middle player to deflect the balls. Introduce bounce throws (balls must bounce once before hitting the target).

airs are formed, and everyone stands in a circle. One person from each pair gets on all fours (the "horse"), while the other sits on their back (the "rider"). At the signal of the game leader's whistle, the riders jump off their horses and walk a full lap (either left or right) around the circle until they return to their horse. While the rider is walking, the horse stands up and spreads its legs. The rider must then crawl under the horse's legs and quickly blow the whistle or touch a cone that has been placed in the center of the circle before the game starts. Make it harder: Introduce different movements, such as running faster or adding obstacles. Variations: Change the method of movement: In a gallop (each step with the same foot forward). Sidesteps with the face inward or outward. After 3 steps, do a half-turn when doing side-steps. As "horses" walk beautifully: raise knees high (knee lifts).

Two teams with a random number of players compete in a limited area. A point is scored when an attacker passes the ball to a seated teammate, who then returns the ball to a free-standing teammate. Afterward, the roles of attackers and defenders are switched. Making it harder: Play continues immediately after a point is scored. A point can be scored if a teammate catches the ball while riding on another player's back. A point can also be scored if a player is standing on a bench positioned at the sides of the field (for safety reasons).

An obstacle course is set up with various equipment. Two teams are then formed. Team A attempts to complete the course as many times as possible within a set time, while Team B tries to hit Team A’s players with soft balls. If a player from Team A is hit, they must immediately leave the course and go to the back of the line. Each player who completes the course without being hit scores a point for their team. Team B is only allowed to throw from behind a barrier (e.g., a bench). Some players from Team B are positioned at the other end of the course to throw the balls back. To make it more challenging: Variations: The course can be modified, for example, by adding cupboards or other objects where players can take cover. The course can be set up in the middle of the room, with players from both sides attempting to hit opponents.

All your players have a ball each and are dribbling inside the goal area. Players must try to dribble their ball around the area whilst at the same time knocking away other player's balls. Once a player is dispossessed they must step outside of the area. The winner is the last player with their ball.

One player dribbles and one player moves backward at a 2 mtr distance. The attackers tries to tag the defender. The trainer whistles just before the attacker touches the defender. The player in possession of the ball dribbles to the goal. The other player, the defender, tries to prevent a goalshot.

Players move around in pairs. One player dribbles, the other one follows. When the trainer blows his whistle the followers goes for the ball and go on dribbling.

Players A and B start at the same time. Player A dribbles with his right hand and player B with his left hand. After meeting in the circle, they attack opposite goals. They increase speed after leaving the circle and protect their ball when getting between the two defenders (whose area is only the hoop) and shoot with a center shot or jump shot at the goal. They change positions after the shot.

Players A and B start at the same time. Player A dribbles with his right hand and player B with his left hand. They increase speed after the meeting in the circle and shoot with a center shot or jump shot at the goal. they change positions after the shot.

1    A passes to B, C runs around the cone and receives the pass from B, dribbles around the cone and duels with defender 1 and makes a goalshot or passes to pivor E who makes a goalshot. 2    C passes to D, A runs around the cone and receives the pass from D, dribbles around the cone and duels with defebder 1 and makes a goalshot or passes to pivor E who makes a goalshot.

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.

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.

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.

Players work in groups of four and try to make the three passes as quickly as possible as they cross-over. The starting player runs forward with the ball and passes the ball behind to the next player as their paths cross. As they do so the player three should time their run so that they cross over with player two just as they receive the ball in time to in turn receive the ball. Player four also does the same so that they quickly receive the final cross-over pass from player three.

Players from both lines run forwards at the same time, with the ball carrier crossing over in front of the other player. When the players cross over they should switch the ball between them as at this point they are blocking the goal keeper's view. Once the other player has the ball they should shoot on goal before then collecting their ball and joining the back of the queue.
