Handball: Hit the dragons tail

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

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

White players must try to hit the last player of the 'dragon' (the four blue players in the middle are the dragon).

Players in the dragon hold each other's hips or shoulders and try to avoid the ball.

In order to hit the back of the dragon the white players must pass the ball quickly around the circle. The ball is not allowed to travel further than one player at a time.

COACHING POINTS

Are they catching the ball correctly?

Reach for the ball, arms half stretched out, make a W with your thumbs almost touching each other.

Catch the ball and move it towards your body.

PROGRESSION

1. Ball can go into any direction and may be passed to anyone in the circle.

2. One or two defenders can be added to disturb ball ways.
