Left wing: Wrist Control

Archie DunnillCoach, England

Hi Martin,

Improving your accuracy and control when using your wrist to shoot in handball is essential for becoming a more effective player. Here are some drills that can help you enhance your aiming and wrist control:

Target Practice:

- Set up targets on the goalposts or wall using tape or cones. Practice hitting those targets with your wrist shots. Start close to the goal and gradually increase the distance as your accuracy improves.

Progressive Shooting:

- Start by shooting with your wrist from a stationary position. Gradually add movement, like a side step or a jump, to simulate game situations. Focus on maintaining your wrist control and accuracy even when in motion.

Partner Passing:

- Have a partner pass the ball to you from various angles and distances. Practice receiving the ball and quickly shooting with your wrist. This will help you adapt to different situations and improve your reaction time.

Solo Wall Passing:

- Find a sturdy wall and practice passing the ball against it with your wrist. Vary the distance and angle of your shots. Focus on the ball's trajectory and your wrist movement.Remember, improvement takes time and dedication. Work on these drills consistently and be patient with yourself.

Remember, improvement takes time and dedication. Work on these drills consistently and be patient with yourself. It's also a good idea to seek guidance from your coach, as they can provide personalized advice based on their observation of your technique.

Hope this helps.
