Handball: Defence to Attack

Never underestimate the power of a goalkeeper. Coach fast breaks starting from the back, leading from your goalkeeper.

Work from back to front and use your keeper to launch the fast break from the back! Seamlessly turning Defence into Attack!

Have a line of attacking players all with a ball each standing on both sides of the court. Inside the 9m line will be two defenders, one on each side.

The drill starts with the first attacker running at goal and shooting on goal. The defenders are allowed to obstruct the shot but not tackle.

Once the ball is in the hands of the keeper they should throw it out to the defender who is making a fast break-away run up the court.

After running to the half-way line the defender joins the back of the queue, the attacking player becomes the next defender and the drill begins again on the other side of the court.

The first player waiting in line passes to the first player on the cone and immediately follows their pass and runs behind that player to receive the return pass.

Once they have the ball in hand again they pass the ball to the next player and drive behind them to loop in front of them and receive the ball again.

Once the player reaches the end of the course they dribble the ball to the corner and then sprint around the court back to the end of the line with the ball in hand.
