Handball: No pass to Green

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

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

The first player waiting in the line passes to blue one on the side of the court and moves forward to receive the return pass.

At this point dependin on where the blue player has received the pass the red defenders should communicate and decide which of them is best placed to come out and defend against the oncoming attacker.

The 'spare' defender should position themsleves beside the green player, ready to intercept the pass from the attacking player.

COACHING POINTS

Defenders should make a decision as early as possible.

Defending a pivot :

- static pivot : stand in front
- agile pivot : try to defend when standing, moving behind the player.

Progression:

Allow the wing player who playes the wall pass to join in the attack and try to create space to get the ball through to the green player.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Team defence - Both sides:

The two blue players stood on the wings of the court both have several balls at their feet and take it in turns to throw the ball into the central player. Once they have past the ball into the middle-man they should drive forwards, ready to receive the return pass, pivot and try to feed the ball into the red player on their side.

Defenders must communicate amongst themselves to decide on which of them goes forwards to close down the oncoming player and which is remaining to cover the man on the edge of the D.

6:0 defence

Go to every other ball:

Blue players are passing the ball around the area in a clockwise direction with the aim of trying to pass to the green player in the centre.

The two red defenders must work as a team to share the defending responsibilities to successfully close down the blue players every time they receive a pass.

cooperation in defence

Knock on defence - covering defence:

The blue team (back court players) are attacking and are passing the ball along the line, looking to find a chink in the defence so that they can pass the ball to either of the two forward green players (pivots).

Meanwhile the blue defending players must work together and make good defending decisions. When an attacker comes forward a defender must step forward to mark the back court players while another defender moves across the cover the pivot.
