Advanced goal throw - Make the break

Two lines of players on both sides of the court and four defenders inside the 9m line. The attacking player makes a zig-zag run around the first defender and shoots at goal before rejoining the back of the line. Once the keeper has the ball the centre left defender makes a run to receive the fast throw out. Meanwhile the left back shifts across to fill the hole and a player from the other queue also comes across to fill in. Repeat this until all players in the line have taken their shot and then repeat on the other side.

538 fast break

Cross and shoot!

Players from both lines run forwards at the same time, with the ball carrier crossing over in front of the other player. When the players cross over they should switch the ball between them as at this point they are blocking the goal keeper's view. Once the other player has the ball they should shoot on goal before then collecting their ball and joining the back of the queue.

527 crossing

Defence to Attack

The attackers line on both sides if the court, each with a ball, and take it in turns to run forwards, take the ball round the defender and have a half pace shot on goal (making it easy for the keeper to gather the ball). As soon as the defender sees the keeper make the save they then make their move up field - presenting themselves as a passing option for the keeper. The keeper should then release the ball into the path of the break-away defender who then moves up field to the centre line before then jogging to rejoin the back of the line to go again.

538 fast break

From back to Front!

Two attacking players stand on either side of the goal area line and take it in turns to have gentle shots on goal (making it easy for the keeper to gather the ball). Once the keeper has stopped the shot they should pass the ball up the centre of the court into the path of the red player in front of them. Red players should aim to receive the ball on the move and then sprint forwards, dribbling the ball  with them, to the cone on the Centre line.

539 fast throw-off

Go to every other ball

Blue players are passing the ball around the area in a clockwise direction with the aim of trying to pass to the green player in the centre. The two red defenders must work as a team to share the defending responsibilities to successfully close down the blue players every time they receive a pass.

Your forearm should form a 90 degree angle with upper-arm Hip turns backwards together with the hand behind the ball with your fingers slightly spread.

Handball: Center shot - Hip he...

Center shot hip height: A right hander should take one right footed step forward when they are about an arm's length away from their opponent. They should raise their arm to shoulder height, backwards, as if to make a normal center shot. Their right hip should be turning backward with arm and shoulder together. The player should then take a large step with their left foot, almost so that it is between the opponent's legs. The final move - players' arms move from back to front explosively, with their hand behind the ball (hand should be sideways, like you want to sweep the floor with the side of your hand). Finally, let go of the ball and point in the direction you want to throw it.

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
