This is the best handball site I have visited.

Joelma

DESCRIPTION

Setup as shown, with the player on the far right passing to the player in the middle. The player then crosses with the player on the left who takes a shot at goal.

After catching the ball B2 feints as if to go to the right, but changes to the left to cross with B3. B3 first feinst to start to te left, but quickly sprints to the left to cross with B2, catch the ball and throw at the goal.

Players swap positions after throwing.

COACHING POINTS

Make players jump off at 8-9 metres, not too any closer and not any further away.

Throw just next to hands of defenders (in most situations it is simply not possible to throw over the hands of defenders - players cannot jump that high! - (compare smashes in volleyball : most of them are places just next to the blocking hands of defenders)

PROGRESSION

Defender acts as if to block the shot by holding his arms high to give space for the shot next to the defender's arms..
Defender jumps up to block the shot.
Defender is really active to prevent a goal shot.

Cross-Court Pass and Shoot:

Starting on the right backcourt player passes from right to left.

When the third player receives the ball on the left wing they should feint (either to go out or to go in) before then running towards the defender and shooting on goal. Defender only blocks (do not come forward)

Once they've shot on goal each player rotates to the next position.

Quick Switch - Simple Screen:

Three groups of players - a group on each wing and a line of three players a couple of meters behind the free-throw line.

The play starts from the right wing with player 1 passing the first of the outfield players (player 2).

Player 2 moves forward to meet the pass and then plays the ball to their left for player 3 to meet and then across to player 4.

During this passing process player 1 must chase the passes across the court - screening to protect the pass and prevent the imaginary defender from receivnig the ball.

When player 4 receives the ball they should shoot on goal.

The drill then starts from the other side - going from left to right.
