Handball: Jump shot / blocking

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

David, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

Attackers dribble in the direction of the goal and start to perform a jump shot when they reach the 8 meter line and then throw at the goal.

The defender should try and block the shot by positioning themselves between the attacker and the goal.

COACHING POINTS

This drill not only tests the attacker's accuracy and ability to shoot under pressure but also the defender's ability to shuffle, block and shield - having to read the attacker's movement and try to prevent them from getting a clear shot on goal.

PROGRESSION

Jump Shooting from Back Court Positions

The jump shot is a great way to finish off attacks and provides the attackers with multiple options for different finishes. Use this session to improve the players basics techniques by focussing on their rhythm and shooting.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Perfecting the jump shot:

Depending on how many hoops are in front of them players run forward in a 1, 2 or 3 step rhythm and throw at the goal.

Players rotate to the right after each 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.

Shooting Rotations: Coming from the back court:

Blue 1 starts the move by feeding the ball in from the wing to blue 2.

Blue 2 then plays a 1-2 pass with blue 3 who runs onto the pass and shoots on goal.

Defender may only try to block the shot : do not come forward!

Cross over and score:

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.
