Handball: 2 v 2 - Fast Break

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

Abier, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

2 attackers versus 2 defenders.

The attackers must dribble and pass the ball around the two defenders.

To begin with the defenders cannot move from the spot and the attackers must run and engage the defender (with a side-step or a dummy) before progressing towards goal.

COACHING POINTS

After a couple of goes each the drill should become live, with defenders being allowed to move freely to stop the attack.

Attackers will need to run at speed to get the better of their opposite number.

Drawing in the defender - 2 vs 1:

Player 1 dribbles around the cone and at the same time player 2 sprints around his cone.

Player 1 deliberately dribbles towards defender 1, trying to draw them towards them, before passing to player 2 once the defender has committed to trying to mark him.

Attacker 2 now throws at the goal.
