Handball: run

Work in pairs.One is lying on the floor, belly down.Number two is lying next to him in push-up position.Jumps over the other one and land in push-up position.Now number two jumps over number one etc.Most times in a certain time.Who will be at the finish line first ?

All players get a ribbon which should be put at the backside into everybody's shorts. So everybody is a lizard. All players try to get as many tails as he can in 45 seconds. Lizards who lose their tails can get another one from the trainer.

Players make small groups of 3 players.One player is outside the circle and may shout to a certain group : come along or Go away.After doing this the player and the group start running along the complete circle until they come back at their original place.The player who is last has to go outside and challenge another group.variations :starting positions :- sitting on knees- sitting on bottoms- lying on back- lying on tummy

In this game players run inside the area and attempt to avoid being caught by the taggers. Players are safe from being tagged if they are sitting on the floor, with their feet off the ground. Players are only allowed to stay on the floor for 3 seconds, then they have to get up and run away again. Tag men are not allowed to wait for the player during these 3 seconds.

You cannot be tagged if :- lying on the floor on your back- lying on the floor on your tummy

In a circle there is a ball.The trainer appoints a player as the guard of the ball.Other players do not know who this guard is.Another player must try to rob the coconut.The guard (monkey) may only start running when the other player touches the ball.Appoint a new guard every time.Variations :- more balls- more guards- more robbers

All players stand in a big circle except for the tagger. The coach appoints one player as the 'chosen one'. The tagger must not listen or look whilst the coach is selecting the chosen player. Once the player has been selected by the coach the tagger starts hunting for the chosen player. When the tagger positions themselves in front of the chosen player the player must run away - around the outside of the circle of players. From this point the tagger has up to 45 seconds to catch the player.

Somewhere a rope is tied to the wall or something else.The dog should hold this rope and he must 'bite' other players by touching them.The dog should be able to reach all of the field.Make field as large as the dog can reach.Inside the field aere several cones the dog should protect, other players try to rob the cones without being touched. Mind the rope !!Players who have been touched may continue playing.How many players can the dog 'bite' in 45 seconds ?

5 vs 5 game (can be played with or without goals).Game 1:Possession keeping game where all passing is with the hands by throwing and catching. Teams score a point for every 10 passes they make without losing the ball.Game 2:Alternatively you can play this game with goals. All passes must be made with the hands (players can't run with the ball in hand) and players can only score with a header.

On the coach's call an attacker and a defender both set off and run around the cone. The defender is trying to get around the cone quicker than the attacker so that they can get in front of them and hinder their shot (no tackling). Once around the cone the attacker should aim to get a jump shot off on goal. Variations: 3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right) 2 step or even in 1 step<br />jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot jump off with your 'wrong' foot (1,2,3 steps)

Players run around the half court area. Every mat they come to they should perform a forward roll.

The first player waiting in line passes to the first player on the cone and immediately follows their pass and runs behind that player to receive the return pass. Once they have the ball in hand again they pass the ball to the next player and drive behind them to loop in front of them and receive the ball again. Once the player reaches the end of the course they dribble the ball to the corner and then sprint around the court back to the end of the line with the ball in hand.

Pairs move to and away from each other and move in to each other while passing. They should try to receive passes while moving towards the ball and also while retreating, working on receiving the ball while running in different directions and passing to moving players.

There are several ways you can run this drill, the first way is alternate running. This is where one player at a time sets off to run around the far cone opposite them before then cutting back infield to receive the ball from blue three. After receiving the pass they then progress towards goal before trying to score. The second way of running this drill is as a race. Both players sets off at the same time to run around the cone and then infield. The first player to run over the half way line receives the pass from B3 and then tries to score.

Player 1 runs around the cone in the centre, turning back towards the cone on the corner of the base line where they started. After running around the corner cone players then run out in front of the centre player who passes the ball into their path. Player complete the move by dribbling and driving towards goal - finishing with a throw at goal

Coach should shout &quot;Go&quot; every 45 seconds. On the first shout a player from both sides sets off to run up the byline, turn around the cone and run to the cone in the opposite corner. Players must then run up the byline again and around the other cone before finally cutting inside to receive the pass from the feeder in the centre and shoot!

Players line up on both sides of the court in the corner. When the coach says go the first two players (one from each side) sprint around the first cone, then around the second before looping inside to pick up a ball and have a shot on goal.

Players run one after the after moving with ball. As they are running with the ball they should try to stay within one meter of the player in front of them. The coach can dictate what players are doing as they run around the cones.

Set up two circles of cones across the width of the court. Players run one at a time around the cones in a figure of 8 as quickly as possible. You can split your players into two groups in both halves of the court and run this exercise as a relay race - the first team to complete the figure of 8 running wins the race!

1. 10 meter running:<br /><br />Between 2 lines spaced 10 metres apart get your keepers to run 2 sets of 6 runs.<br /><br />You can mix this up by getting players to run a mixture of -<br />Forward runs, Backward runs, Sprints, Side-steps and Crossovers<br /><br /> 2. Flexibility - Straddle stretch:<br /><br />Stand upright with arms out to the side and touch your left foot with your right hand and your right foot with your left arm. Players should keep their arms and legs straight and bend and rotate their torso to touch their feet. Repeat 10 times on both sides. <br /><br />Stand upright with arms slightly in front and out to the side. Keepers must raise their feet to try and touch their hands. Left foot to left hand and right foot to right hand. Repeat 10 times on both sides.<br /><br />3. Improving Reactions<br /><br />Player A stands behind player B who sits on the floor. Player B puts their arms out wide at shoulder height. Player A drops the ball in front of B, who must catch the ball with their legs. Repeat 10 times and then swap roles.<br /><br />Place two benches on their sides, with the top side in-court on a small playing area (approx 3-5 meters). <br /><br />A tries to score with a tennis ball by getting their balls to hit the flat side of the bench. B must try to block as many balls as possible. A throws 30 balls and then players swap roles. Which keeper has the better record?<br /><br />4. Power<br /><br />Get players to lie on the floor on their back. In this position players must sit up and touch their left foot with their right hand and then touch their right foot with their left hand. Repeat 15 times on each side.<br /><br />Squat down low and walk like a frog for 15 meters. Repeat 3 times.<br /><br />Hampelmann (jumping jacks - raise arms and legs). Try to raise the leg you jump off as high as possible. Repeat 5 times for - Hampelmann left, squat jump, Hampelmann right.

All players stand in a big circle except for the tagger. The coach appoints one player as the 'chosen one'. The tagger must not listen or look whilst the coach is selecting the chosen player. Once the player has been selected by the coach the tagger starts hunting for the chosen player. When the tagger positions themselves in front of the chosen player the player must run away - around the outside of the circle of players. From this point the tagger has up to 45 seconds to catch the player.

The goalkeepers receive the ball from the feeder and throws a ball into the path of the running player who then passes back to the feeder.

Left-handers should shoot with their right foot in front, right-handers shoot with their left foot in front As you wind up to shoot get your hand at the same height as your shoulder and then pull the ball backwards. 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. The third and final step involves moving forwards with a large and explosive drive - planting the 'weak' foot in the direction of the goal as the hand, arm and hips move forwards in the final movement.

Blue 3 and 4 stand with their backs to the defenders, setting up a back screen. Blue 4 then passes the ball out to blue 3 who runs forward towards blue 6 who is continuing to screen white 3. At this point blue 2 begins their run between white players 1 and 2 as blue 3 throws the ball behind white 2, into the path of blue 2.
