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

David, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

Pass B1-B5.
When B1 is just in front of the cone : pass B5-B1 who dribbles towards the goal and throws at the goal.

variations :
- 3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)
- 2 step or even in 1 step
- jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot
- jump off with your 'wrong' foot (1,2,3 steps)

COACHING POINTS

final step is explosive and large
in the air the hip should go backward together with the throwing arm
pull up other leg until upper leg is horizontal
land on the same leg as you jumped off

PROGRESSION

add a defender who acts passively, only moves a bit from side to side
add two defenders : defenders should act passively as attackers come in at high speed. The two defenders should leave just enough space for the attacker.

Feint and throw at the goal:

The wide player (blue 2) passes the ball to the player waiting in line who then runs forward to the cone. When they reach the cone players should be slightly to the left or the right of the cone.

Before being allowed to shoot players must 'get past the cone' using an effective dummy, cutting around the other side of the cone before shooting.

- 3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)
- 2 step or even in 1 step
- jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot

Run around Race - Jump Shooting:

On the coach's call an attacker and a defender both set off and run around the cone.

The defender is trying to get around the cone quicker than the attacker so that they can get in front of them and hinder their shot (no tackling).

Once around the cone the attacker should aim to get a jump shot off on goal.

Variations:

3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)
2 step or even in 1 step
jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot
jump off with your 'wrong' foot (1,2,3 steps)
