Handball: Pick and Roll - Power Play Decision

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

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

Five players from the attacking team position themselves around the goal area line so that they stretch the defenders. Each of them should be man-marked from a distance by the five white players.

The attacking blue players pass the ball in the following order:
Blue1 - Blue2 - Blue3 - Blue4.

After passing the ball blue1 runs to the center and sets a screen in front of Blue6.

Blue4 now has a decision to make. They can:

- Take the shot themself
- Pass to Blue1
- Pass to Blue6
- Pass to Blue5

From this point the drill is live.

COACHING POINTS

Power play situations :

Agree on what to do when in possession (often 2 times within 2 minutes penalty time)
Change players to increase success. Put your best players on their best position.
Organisation phase should be a phase of rest : safe ball ways without risky passes.
Players widely spread to make spaces larger between defenders.
Once you start the concept : play passes fast so defence has to work a lot.
Back court players run forward on full speed to have enough pressure on the defense.
Passes to pivot only if there is no risk at all of losing possession.

Quick passing and shooting:

Five players from the attacking team position themselves around the goal area line so that they stretch the defenders. Each of them should be man-marked from a distance by the five white players.

Starting with the ball on the left side of the court players pass to their right, trying to draw the defender to be drawn out of position before passing the ball on again.

Blue players 6 should set up a back screen in front of the fourth defender.

Once the ball reaches player 4 they should dribble forwards and wait and see if defender 4 comes towards them - if the defender stands still, marking blue 6, then blue 4 should shoot on goal. If the defender moves forwards then they should pass to player 6 for them to shoot instead.

Double screen - Block for the shot:

Blue players 1, 2 and 4 pass the ball in the following order:

Blue1- Blue2- Blue4- Blue2

Just before blue2 receives the pass from blue4 the two players closest to the 6m line (blue3 and blue6) should set screens on their defenders (white2 and white3).

These screens will prevent the two defenders from moving to block the shot from blue2.
