Handball: Task Ball

The two blue players stood on the wings of the court both have several balls at their feet and take it in turns to throw the ball into the central player. Once they have past the ball into the middle-man they should drive forwards, ready to receive the return pass, pivot and try to feed the ball into the red player on their side.

Defenders must communicate amongst themselves to decide on which of them goes forwards to close down the oncoming player and which is remaining to cover the man on the edge of the D.

Blue player 4 throws the ball wide to blue player 3 and receives the return pass. At this point blue player 1 should position themselves on the inside of red player 1 using the back screen.

Blue player 4 advances with the ball towards red player 1 and then runs to the right, making use of blue player 1's screen.

Blue player 4 should then set a back screen in front of red player 2 before passing to blue player, 1 who is now open and unmarked, for them to shoot on goal.

Depending on how many hoops are in front of them players run forward in a 1, 2 or 3 step rhythm and throw at the goal.

Players rotate to the right after each shot.

Players starting on the half-way line dribble down the wings and must use a change of pace and direction (whilst still running down the wings) to beat their man and try to get a shot on goal.

If there is no clear shooting opportunity by the time they've reached the baseline players run with the ball to the back of the opposite line.
