Handball: Quick goal-throwing

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

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.

The goalkeepers receive the ball from the feeder and throws a ball into the path of the running player who then passes back to the feeder.

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.

Blue 1, 2 and 3 throw, bounce and roll the ball at goal.

The keeper should react as quickly as possible to the incoming ball, gather it up and then side-step/ move forwards (only one step) in order to throw the ball up field to player 4.

Player 4 must catch the ball and then return it to one of the players without a ball to restart the drill.
