Handball: Goal throws to the upfield player

This is the best handball site I have visited.

Joelma

DESCRIPTION

Attacking player 1 runs with the ball to the outside of the 9m semi-circle and throws at the goal. The defender must only obstruct the shot, not make a tackle, to put the attacker under pressure.

The goalkeeper must then get the ball under control and pass past the obstructing defenders to the breaking defender who has just made the run.

The session then continues on the other side of the court.

COACHING POINTS

As this session progresses increase the role of the defender, gradually getting them to put more and more pressure on the goalkeeper's throw.

To progress within this drill once the keeper has received the ball from the running player they can start to dictate which red player makes the run by shouting 'left' or 'right' before playing the pass.

Fast break - Goalkeepers are your deepest attackers

Attack from the back! In this plan we look at how your keeper can start the attacking fast break by playing the early ball!

OFTEN USED WITH...

Defence to Attack:

The attackers line on both sides if the court, each with a ball, and take it in turns to run forwards, take the ball round the defender and have a half pace shot on goal (making it easy for the keeper to gather the ball).

As soon as the defender sees the keeper make the save they then make their move up field - presenting themselves as a passing option for the keeper.

The keeper should then release the ball into the path of the break-away defender who then moves up field to the centre line before then jogging to rejoin the back of the line to go again.

Fast Break - 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.
