Handball: Pass, receive, screen and lay off

This is the best handball site I have visited.

DESCRIPTION

White player 1 passes the ball to green player 1 stood just inside the 6 metre line.

Green player 1 should drive onto the ball and pivot in front of blue player 1, to prevent them from intercepting green player 1's pass into the path of white player 1.

White player 1 then dribbles the ball across to white player 2 and the drill starts again on the other side.

COACHING POINTS

The two main types of screen -

1. front screen : you make contact with the front part of your body (you cannot be passed to).

2. Back screen: You block the defender with your back so that team mates can pass to you and so that you can quickly lose the defender.

Wait for the right moment to place the screen.

Use the defender and push yourself off them to accelerate away quicker and to put them off balance.

Stand still when there is body contact with the attacker.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Set the screen - No getting past:

White player 1 plays a one-two pass with green player 1 and moves forward with the ball. At this point green player 2 should advance and position themselves in a front of blue player 1 in a front screen position.

Making use of the screen white player 1 makes a small dummy run towards their own goal and then quickly changes direction to run past the defender (making use of the screen).

White player 1 then carries the ball to the other side of the court and the drill is then mirrored on the other side.

Double trouble - Back screening:

Blue player 4 throws the ball wide to blue player 3 and receives the return pass. At this point blue player 1 should position themselves on the inside of red player 1 using the back screen.

Blue player 4 advances with the ball towards red player 1 and then runs to the right, making use of blue player 1's screen.

Blue player 4 should then set a back screen in front of red player 2 before passing to blue player, 1 who is now open and unmarked, for them to shoot on goal.
