Handball: strekworp uit loop / loopschot

Use this session to get your players shooting at full speed and making snap decisions so that they can catch the opposition's defenders and keeper napping!

Left-handers should shoot with their right foot in front, right-handers shoot with their left foot in front

As you wind up to shoot get your hand at the same height as your shoulder and then pull the ball backwards. Your forearm should form a 90 degree angle with upper-arm

Hip turns backwards together with the hand behind the ball with your fingers slightly spread.

The third and final step involves moving forwards with a large and explosive drive - planting the 'weak' foot in the direction of the goal as the hand, arm and hips move forwards in the final movement.

Center shot hip height:

A right hander should take one right footed step forward when they are about an arm's length away from their opponent.

They should raise their arm to shoulder height, backwards, as if to make a normal center shot.

Their right hip should be turning backward with arm and shoulder together.

The player should then take a large step with their left foot, almost so that it is between the opponent's legs.

The final move - players' arms move from back to front explosively, with their hand behind the ball (hand should be sideways, like you want to sweep the floor with the side of your hand).

Finally, let go of the ball and point in the direction you want to throw it.

jump shot
- during forward run bring up the ball to shoulder height
- third step is explosive and large
- in the air the hip should go backward together with the throwing arm
- pull up other leg untill upper leg is horizontal
- screw back the hip
- the arm follows this movement explosively to the front
- point after the ball where it should go
- land on the same leg as you jumped off


left hander : right foot for jump off
right hander : left foot for jump off

variations :
- 1,2,3 step rhythm
- jump off with your 'wrong' leg

As players run up to where they are going to throw from they should bring the ball up to shoulder height.

The first step in the 1-2-3 pattern should be made with the foot they are going to jump with (so for right handed players this should be their left foot and for left-handed players vice versa).

The third step should be explosive and powerful.

In the air player's hip should go backward at the same time and in the same direction as the throwing arm.

Pull up other leg until upper leg is parallel with the other leg.

Screw back the hip and the arm should follow this movement explosively to the front.
