Handball: pronatie/polsworp

Use the Give and Go in handball to create space, get past defenders and give your team the attacking edge!

Develop your players ability to pass and receive on the move to keep attacks flowing, allowing your team to go forward at speed, not allowing the opposition to set.

In this drill players receive a wide pass and then move towards the defender.

Once they're within arm's reach they should move as if they're offloading the ball across their body (so a right hander would feint the pass to the left). At the same time they they should drop their left shoulder to make the move more convincing.

After doing this the attacker should quickly shift their weight and push off their left foot to explode in the opposite direction and run around the right of the defender.

Run forward at full speed to receive the pass.

As you approach the defender drop the shoulder in the direction which you are pretending to pass (drop left shoulder if faking to the left).

Hold the ball there for a short second to 'sell' the fake.

Once the defender is committed to stopping the pass push off your outside foot and drive in the opposite direction.

Players stand a few steps behind their cone.

The first player with the ball in hand should step up to their cone and then aim their pass in front of their target recipient (pass to that player's cone).

As the pass is made in front of them players should be ready to move forwards to receive the ball and then pass it to another player as fast as possible (without losing control of the ball).

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
