Hi Orotin,
Thank you for getting in touch. Here's a breakdown of playing the 6:0 defence in handball:
- Positioning: Keeper in goal, five players forming a line across the court.
- Communication: Constantly communicate to coordinate defence and cover gaps.
- Mobility: Stay flexible, shift to cover threats, and adapt to attacker movements.
- Pressure: Apply pressure on the ball carrier to disrupt passes and limit shots.
- Cover passing lanes: Anticipate passes and intercept to thwart attacks.
- Teamwork: Trust teammates, coordinate movements, and defend as a unit.
- Transition: Be ready to switch to offence when the opportunity arises.
These key points should help teams effectively implement the 6:0 defence strategy in handball.
I hope this helps,
Cam
