Handball: Body defense

Thank you Sportplan. The drills and videos have been extremely beneficial...

DESCRIPTION

Defenders try to defend their cones by only using their body, so no hands and arms allowed to hold the attacker.

COACHING POINTS

Quick feet are asked here to stop the defender.

Defensive Contacts | 323 defenders movements

Defensive Contacts:

To practice coming together players must side-step between the cones.

When they come to the close together clones players should come together, jump towards one another and clap hands while jumping up.

Players continue this pattern and and then run back to the start.

Defensive stance | 323 defenders movements

Defensive stance:

As players run forward to defend they should think about their stance and approach:

They should take small, fast steps (never jump) to avoid over-committing. Approach diagonally, facing towards the ball, and angling their body to direct their opponent away from the goal area.

Keep their arms open, wide and high. Stand on the balls of their feet with knees slightly bent.

Anti-Clockwise Contest | 323 defenders movements

Anti-Clockwise Contest:

Blue players pass the ball around the grid, always throwing the ball in front of the player so that they have to meet the ball.

As the blue players run out to meet the pass green 1 and 2 must also run out to contest and defend the ball.
