Defense 6:0

Cam HughesCoach, United Kingdom

Hi Orotin,

Thank you for getting in touch. Here's a breakdown of playing the 6:0 defence in handball:

• Positioning: Keeper in goal, five players forming a line across the court.
• Communication: Constantly communicate to coordinate defence and cover gaps.
• Mobility: Stay flexible, shift to cover threats, and adapt to attacker movements.
• Pressure: Apply pressure on the ball carrier to disrupt passes and limit shots.
• Cover passing lanes: Anticipate passes and intercept to thwart attacks.
• Teamwork: Trust teammates, coordinate movements, and defend as a unit.
• Transition: Be ready to switch to offence when the opportunity arises.

These key points should help teams effectively implement the 6:0 defence strategy in handball.

I hope this helps,

Cam
