Handball: dikke matten valworpwedstrijd

Use this step-by-step diving games and technique session to get your players falling safely, using the correct technique, to be safe when you shoot!

The red player is the tagger and is trying to tag the other players.

When the players who trying to avoid being tagged fall down on a mat they cannot be tagged.

However, there can be no more than two players to a mat so if there are already two players on a mat and a third player jumps on the player who has been on the mat the longest must get off.

In this game players run inside the area and attempt to avoid being caught by the taggers.

Players are safe from being tagged if they are laying on a mat, on their belly.

Players are only allowed to stay on the mat for 3 seconds, then they have to get up and run away again.

Tag men are not allowed to wait for the player during these 3 seconds.
