Handball: goalkeeper training

5 vs 5 game (can be played with or without goals).Game 1:Possession keeping game where all passing is with the hands by throwing and catching. Teams score a point for every 10 passes they make without losing the ball.Game 2:Alternatively you can play this game with goals. All passes must be made with the hands (players can't run with the ball in hand) and players can only score with a header.

Form a queue 9 metres from goal and throw at goal from 6-7 metres. Throw balls which can be stopped by the goalkeeper, so make sure your players throw precisely and with not too much force. There is an extra goalkeeper in the goal facing the goal itself. He has the task to prevent balls rolling in between goalkeeper-in- action's legs.

Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move forward to the other side. While doing so, they will act as if they have to stop high balls. Aim for 8 "saves" during each run, and players should go up and down the half court twice.

An example of the Hamplemann - a goal keeping technique to keep the ball out of the goal.

Two players with a ball each approach the goal and feint as to shoot, but only one of them really shoots. The goalkeeper tries to stop the ball. Then another ball is rolled to the goal. The goalkeeper fetches this ball and passes to the running player.

Goalkeepers sit opposite each other, with legs stretched sideways. They will give the ball to each other just over their feet, both stretching down with their upper bodies as wide as possible.

1. 10 meter running:<br /><br />Between 2 lines spaced 10 metres apart get your keepers to run 2 sets of 6 runs.<br /><br />You can mix this up by getting players to run a mixture of -<br />Forward runs, Backward runs, Sprints, Side-steps and Crossovers<br /><br /> 2. Flexibility - Straddle stretch:<br /><br />Stand upright with arms out to the side and touch your left foot with your right hand and your right foot with your left arm. Players should keep their arms and legs straight and bend and rotate their torso to touch their feet. Repeat 10 times on both sides. <br /><br />Stand upright with arms slightly in front and out to the side. Keepers must raise their feet to try and touch their hands. Left foot to left hand and right foot to right hand. Repeat 10 times on both sides.<br /><br />3. Improving Reactions<br /><br />Player A stands behind player B who sits on the floor. Player B puts their arms out wide at shoulder height. Player A drops the ball in front of B, who must catch the ball with their legs. Repeat 10 times and then swap roles.<br /><br />Place two benches on their sides, with the top side in-court on a small playing area (approx 3-5 meters). <br /><br />A tries to score with a tennis ball by getting their balls to hit the flat side of the bench. B must try to block as many balls as possible. A throws 30 balls and then players swap roles. Which keeper has the better record?<br /><br />4. Power<br /><br />Get players to lie on the floor on their back. In this position players must sit up and touch their left foot with their right hand and then touch their right foot with their left hand. Repeat 15 times on each side.<br /><br />Squat down low and walk like a frog for 15 meters. Repeat 3 times.<br /><br />Hampelmann (jumping jacks - raise arms and legs). Try to raise the leg you jump off as high as possible. Repeat 5 times for - Hampelmann left, squat jump, Hampelmann right.

Simple keeper warm-up plus good for the center's throwing accuracy. Players pass the ball to the keeper who then takes one step and immediately sends the ball up court to the center. The center then catches the ball and passes it back to the player who played the original pass.

Blue players must dribble up the pitch and around the cone before then turning sharply. Once they have turned they must then take on the defender with a feint or a dummy before finally throwing a shot at the goal.

Two equal teams play with one ball in half the court. Two players who are on neither team hold an elastic cord (or a spare bib/piece of material) to form a moving goal. These two players must run around the pitch, keeping the goal open (stretched out). The aim of the game for the other players is to score a goal into this moving goal through use of a bounce pass.

Playing inside half a court with a large mat in the center players try to press the ball onto the mat in order to score a point for their team. After scoring the ball must be played to a player on the opposite team on the side line and then start the attack again ( quick throw off imitation).

Goalkeepers stand with a ball in front of them. They will throw the ball up high, quickly sit down, and catch it whilst sat. When seated, players will again throw the ball high in the air but this time they will stand up quickly and catch it while stood. This continues in the same way. Players should perform 2 sets of 10 catches. 2 series of 10 attempts.
