Handball: center shot hip height

Excellent site. Very concise and easy to use. I'll definitely be emailing...

David, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

Pass B1-B2-B1 goal shot.

Also practise pass from the right side, which may be easier for right handed players (B2 on right backcourt position)

COACHING POINTS

distance to opponent : arm length
arm lifted to shoulder height, backwards, height as if to make a normal center shot
hand should be sidewards, like you want to sweep the floor with the side of your hand
let go of the ball and point to the direction you want to throw it

PROGRESSION

Defender acts as if to block the normal center shot by holding his arms high to give space for the shot at hip height.
Defender holds arms high OR low : attaquer has to make a choice : center shot normal OR hip height.
Defender is really active to prevent throwing.

Finding the space - Hip height center shot:

Blue players take it in turns to dribble forward and shoot on goal.

However, there's 3 defenders in their way, so in order to make space for the shot players will have to shoot at hip height to avoid the defender's wide arms.
