Handball: Zig-Zag run and Shoot!

Excellent site. Very concise and easy to use. I'll definitely be emailing...

David, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

Coach should shout "Go" every 45 seconds.

On the first shout a player from both sides sets off to run up the byline, turn around the cone and run to the cone in the opposite corner.

Players must then run up the byline again and around the other cone before finally cutting inside to receive the pass from the feeder in the centre and shoot!

COACHING POINTS

Players should have completed the run within 45 seconds - as players tire though it is likely that the time it takes them to complete the run increases.

Watch players' shooting technique as they become more and more tired - don't allow fatigue to cause their technique to deteriorate.
