Handball: Attacking Pairs - One-Two Pass

Many thanks. This resource has helped me a lot, as a coach and as...

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

Players go towards the goal in pairs

Player 1 starts with the ball and passes to player 2. After passing they then sprint to the edge of the shooting circle, looking to receive the return pass.

Once player 2 has passed the ball back to player 1 they should shoot on goal.

COACHING POINTS

Pairs swap roles so that both players get to lead the attack.

Ensure players focus on shooting accuracy rather than simply throwing haphazardly or going for brute strength.

Attacking Pairs 2 - One-Two Pass:

Players go towards the goal in pairs.

Player 1 starts with the ball and passes to player 2. After passing they then sprint to the edge of the shooting circle, looking to receive the return pass.

Player 2 then runs on, looking to draw the defender towards them. Once the defender has been drawn away from player 1 they then play the pass giving player 1 the chance to shoot unopposed on goal.
