Handball: Diving pivot shot

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

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

The attacking player on the 7 meter line stands between the cones.

When the diagonal pass is made by one of the feeders on the baseline the attacker runs around the opposite cone, catches the ball and shoots at the goal.

Repeat this 4 times and then rotate your players clockwise.

COACHING POINTS

Make sure your feeders vary the type of pass they play to the attacker:

Normal
Fast
Bouncing
High

In addition look to see if when shooting you players:

1. Have their trunk bent forwards.

2. Take off with one or two feet.

3. Have their eyes focussed on goal.

4. After the shot both arms touch the floor because directly after the shot the landing takes place.

5. In mid-air both legs are bent, almost 90 degrees, feet upward.

One-two, Pass and Pivot:

Blue 2 start this practice with a pass out wide to the player on the wing (blue 1).

Player 2 then runs forward, looking for the return pass. At this time blue 3 (your pivot player) should prepare to make their move away from the defender.

Player 2 receives the ball and then then passes to player 3 who then makes space and shoots on goal.
