Handball: Pass and Return

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

David, Handball Coach

Creating Space to Receive the Ball:

Player 3 runs into the channel. At the same time player 1 passes the ball to player 2. Player 3 has to time the run, so they can run out of the channel once player 2 is ready to pass the ball, not before. Again it is important that player 3 should not have to slow down to receive the ball, and should take the ball while continuing to run and shoot at goal.

Movement off the ball

Pre match pass and follow:

1 passes to 2.
2 passes to 3.
3 passes to 1, who then shoots.
Player 2 then moves to player 1 position, player 3 moves to 2 and player 1 goes to the back of the queue.
The next ball is then passed.

Movement off the ball

Moving ahead of the ball:

Pass and follow. Player 1 passes the ball to player 2.
