I recently started a handball club in the school I'm teaching in and I was wondering if you could suggest any team drills for beginners?
Hi, that depends on the age of the children and their handball skills. Some kids are more talented than others and ask for different, more difficult drills.
I should begin with handball like plays and see what skills are needed to play these plays. Then isolate one of the skills, e.g. catching the ball and choose some catching drills from the database. Other skills e.g. might be shooting with a jump-shot or center shot.
So, play games (also real handball matches) together and analyse what is needed, pick one of the skills and focuss on it with some extra special drills for this skill.
