Handball: come along, go away

Your website has been very helpful. What I have learnt has helped...

Abier, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

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

OFTEN USED WITH...

Tag the circle man:

Four players form a circle, hands tight.
A tag man appoints a person he wants to tag.

The circle moves in such a way that the person he wants to tag stays out of reach.

pulling/pushing

Two is too many:

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.

running/jumping/moving

Who is back first ?:

Players are in a circle.
Pairs are opposite eachother and get the same number.
When the trainer calls out a number, the pair in question sprint to the ball and try to get it before the other one of the pair does.

Variations
- just touch the ball and sprint back : Who is back first ?
- run backwards back to your position
- hop one one leg to the ball and back
- make the distance to the ball larger, shorter

running/jumping/moving

No more than Two:

The red player is the tagger and is trying to tag the other players.

When the players who trying to avoid being tagged fall down on a mat they cannot be tagged.

However, there can be no more than two players to a mat so if there are already two players on a mat and a third player jumps on the player who has been on the mat the longest must get off.
