Handball: wegwerken

Introduce your players to contact in handball and improve your players' competitive character with this physical games session!

Players take it in turn to run and squeeze through the small openings between the blue players, being strong to drive through the blocking man.

Blue players must keep their arms down when blocking the running man and only use their core strength to prevent the man running through (no shoulder barges).

Two groups.

Blue players stand very close together.
White player must go between every player.
Blue players may only use their bodies to 'squeeze' the white players.
White players may use their hands and arms.

Which player is fastest ?
Which group is fastest ?

Split your group in half and line them up behind two different cones on the sideline.

On the coach's call players from both line run one at a time around the cone and back. Once they're back the next player can go.

However, to make things hard for them there are two players on the cone on the opposite side of the court who are trying to block the running players. Which group will finish first?

Players form a long queue.
Hands on shoulders or hips.
The front player moves to tag the last player of the queue.

variation :
- change tag man after every successful tag
- change after 1 minute
- make the queue longer or shorter.
