Handball: Show and Get the Ball

This is the best handball site I have visited.

Joelma

DESCRIPTION

Pairs stand opposite each other, and one moves backwards holding a ball behind their back. The other player moves forward.

The player moving backwards suddenly shows the ball to the other player who reacts quickly to touch the ball.

Players should be shown the ball six times on each run, and the drill should be done up and down four times.

COACHING POINTS

Move forwards and backwards with small steps and react as quickly as possible. Show the ball at various heights on both the left and right side.

Kick and Touch:

Goalkeepers stand opposite each other, and one player holds the ball behind his back and suddenly shows it on either side at shoulder height.

The goalkeeper in front of him reacts as quickly as possible and touches the ball with his hand and foot simultaneously.

Go For It:

Goalkeeper stands on the circle line facing the goal. The player behind him rolls the ball into the goal. When the goalkeeper notices the ball he goes for it and tries to get the ball before it crosses the goal line.

Choose and Stop:

All players are around the goal with a ball each on the floor in front of them. The goalkeeper is in the goal, touches a goal post, sprints forward to a player of his choice, gives him the ball, quickly returns to his goal running backwards. The player tries to score a goal and the goalkeeper tries to stop the shot.
