Handball: Cross and shoot!

This is the best handball site I have visited.

DESCRIPTION

Players from both lines run forwards at the same time, with the ball carrier crossing over in front of the other player.

When the players cross over they should switch the ball between them as at this point they are blocking the goal keeper's view.

Once the other player has the ball they should shoot on goal before then collecting their ball and joining the back of the queue.

COACHING POINTS

To warm up your goalkeeper players must throw specific shots:

To the goalkeeper's hands, in the left/ right hand top corner, left/ right hip height, left/ right bottom corners or free shooting.

Players can also vary how they shoot:

Centre shot, jump shot, jump shot in 1 or 2 or 3 step rhythm, jump off with two feet, jump off on 'wrong' leg or hop on the same foot once, twice or three times before throwing (left or right foot).

OFTEN USED WITH...

Cross and shoot under pressure.:

Players from both lines run forwards at the same time, with the ball carrier crossing over in front of the other player.

When the players cross over they should switch the ball between them.

At this point the player in possession should try and get around the defender to get a clear shot off on goal.

Triple cross-over:

Players work in groups of four and try to make the three passes as quickly as possible as they cross-over.

The starting player runs forward with the ball and passes the ball behind to the next player as their paths cross.

As they do so the player three should time their run so that they cross over with player two just as they receive the ball in time to in turn receive the ball. Player four also does the same so that they quickly receive the final cross-over pass from player three.

Right to Left - Passing for Space:

The ball starts in the middle with player 1 who plays a one two pass with player 2 to their right.

When this pass is being played player 3 should time their run so that as player receive the ball they are running just behind them - ready to catch the quick pass.

Player 3 then runs with the ball and sets player 2 up for the shot on goal.

2 vs 2 - Take it or leave it:

Blue 2 starts with the ball and dribbles with it from right to left. As they set off on their run blue player 1 times their run so that they cross just behind blue 2.

As the players' paths cross, and the defender's view is obscured, blue 2 offloads the ball and player 1 then runs to the outside of the goal area line and shoots.
