Handball: No more than one goal

Many thanks. This resource has helped me a lot, as a coach and as...

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

Two equal numbered teams play against each other with normal rules.

The only additional rule is that at no stage may a team be ahead more then 1 goal. So at 1-0 the team who are ahead have to keep possession until the end of the game.

Only if the opposition scores may they try to score again.

Play this way with 5-10 minute games with regular break.

COACHING POINTS

You could start the game with one team being 1-0 ahead.

This game is a great way of giving yourA teamplayers a chance to play together as a team against yourB teamplayers in your side without the scoreline being too one sided.

Two equal teams play with one ball in half the court.

Two players who are on neither team hold an elastic cord (or a spare bib/piece of material) to form a moving goal. These two players must run around the pitch, keeping the goal open (stretched out).

The aim of the game for the other players is to score a goal into this moving goal through use of a bounce pass.
