This is the best handball site I have visited.

Joelma

DESCRIPTION

Pass B2-B2 (wing) back to B2 who throws at the goal. After the shot the attaquer becomes defender and the defender becomes attaquer. In the meanwhile ther is a shot on the right side.

COACHING POINTS

Feint as if to throw a high shot and lower your arm at the very lats moment. In fact do as you normally do : keep arm high, to surprise defenders when doing differently.

To begin with defenders will deliberately form a bit of an X shape, with arms wide in the air. This will leave a gap for the attackers to shoot through.

As the drill progresses you can give the defenders a more active role - allowing them to make more substantial efforts to intercept the ball.

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.
