Handball: side steps

W has got the ball.W and B make side steps and go to eachother and W gives ball to B and B to W etc.

Between 2 lines, 10 metres apart2 series, 6 timesside steps, crossing legs

Players pass the ball clockwise around the area. The players nearest the end players receive the ball alternately and throw the ball to the next player who then passes to the end player. After they have made a pass the players inside in the square cross the court.

Pairs.Player in front makes the pace and decides on how to run, hop, knees high, heels to botton, walk on tiptoe, walk on heels, side steps etcThe other player follows and imintates.

Tag man tries to tag others.Everybody moves sidewards.

Players move between the two cones while passing the ball to one another. To move players should side-step, always facing forwards and keeping an eye on the other players.

The two blue players stood on the wings of the court both have several balls at their feet and take it in turns to throw the ball into the central player. Once they have past the ball into the middle-man they should drive forwards, ready to receive the return pass, pivot and try to feed the ball into the red player on their side. Defenders must communicate amongst themselves to decide on which of them goes forwards to close down the oncoming player and which is remaining to cover the man on the edge of the D.

Players side-step from one side of the court to the other and then sprint around the cones - touching each cone as they go. When they round the final cone players must pick up a ball and have a shot on goal.

B play ball around and try to break through the defense of R players.<BR>Defenders move in sidesteps and take action if necessarry.

To practice coming together players must side-step between the cones. When they come to the close together clones players should come together, jump towards one another and clap hands while jumping up. Players continue this pattern and and then run back to the start.

Players stand in groups behind different cones. Players must pass the ball to the player opposite them and then follow their pass behind the player on the opposite side. Players can use a variation of passes: Center shot, jump shot (3,2,1 step rhythm), push pass, bounce pass, double handed pass, rolled pass, pass using your weaker hand etc.

The blue team (back court players) are attacking and are passing the ball along the line, looking to find a chink in the defence so that they can pass the ball to either of the two forward green players (pivots). Meanwhile the blue defending players must work together and make good defending decisions. When an attacker comes forward a defender must step forward to mark the back court players while another defender moves across the cover the pivot.

Five defenders, 6 attackers.<BR><BR>variations :<BR>- only pivot B6 may score<BR>- only try to score over the wings<BR>- only try to score from distance<BR>- only try to score by break through moves

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.

airs are formed, and everyone stands in a circle. One person from each pair gets on all fours (the &quot;horse&quot;), while the other sits on their back (the &quot;rider&quot;). At the signal of the game leader's whistle, the riders jump off their horses and walk a full lap (either left or right) around the circle until they return to their horse. While the rider is walking, the horse stands up and spreads its legs. The rider must then crawl under the horse's legs and quickly blow the whistle or touch a cone that has been placed in the center of the circle before the game starts.Make it harder: Introduce different movements, such as running faster or adding obstacles.Variations:<br>Change the method of movement:<li class=&quot;ql-indent-1&quot;>In a gallop (each step with the same foot forward).<li class=&quot;ql-indent-1&quot;>Sidesteps with the face inward or outward.<li class=&quot;ql-indent-1&quot;>After 3 steps, do a half-turn when doing side-steps.<li class=&quot;ql-indent-1&quot;>As &quot;horses&quot; walk beautifully: raise knees high (knee lifts).<br><br><br><br>

Set up two groups on each side of the court. Players in group 1 start with the ball on the corner. Player 1 passes the ball out to player 2 who shoots on goal. After the shot both players run to the benches where they perform a series of quick jumps before joining the back of the opposite line on the other side of the court. Drill continues from other side of court.

As players run forward to defend they should think about their stance and approach: They should take small, fast steps (never jump) to avoid over-committing. Approach diagonally, facing towards the ball, and angling their body to direct their opponent away from the goal area. Keep their arms open, wide and high. Stand on the balls of their feet with knees slightly bent.

Players line  up a few meters behind the 7 meter line where a cone is placed on the floor. The wide player (blue 2) passes the ball to the player waiting in line who then runs forward to the cone. When they reach the cone players should be slightly to the left or the right of the cone. Before being allowed to shoot players must 'get past the cone' using an effective dummy, cutting around the other side of the cone before shooting. <br />variations :<br />- 3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)<br />- 2 step or even in 1 step<br />- jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot<br />- jump off with your 'wrong' foot (1,2,3 steps)

Center shot hip height: A right hander should take one right footed step forward when they are about an arm's length away from their opponent. They should raise their arm to shoulder height, backwards, as if to make a normal center shot. Their right hip should be turning backward with arm and shoulder together. The player should then take a large step with their left foot, almost so that it is between the opponent's legs. The final move - players' arms move from back to front explosively, with their hand behind the ball (hand should be sideways, like you want to sweep the floor with the side of your hand). Finally, let go of the ball and point in the direction you want to throw it.

Player 1, 2, 3 and 5 throw the ball at the goal. The Goalkeeper must catch the ball and pass as quickly as possible, taking only one step, to player 4.

The first player runs forward to the cone, feints (dummy) and then bursts to the left or the right around the cone throws at the goal. <br />variations :<br />- 3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)<br />- 2 step or even in 1 step<br />- jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot<br />- jump off with your 'wrong' foot (1,2,3 steps)

Players play a one-two pass with the middle man. When they receive the return ball players should use their two steps to get around the middle player (using a fake/feint). After their second step players pass to the next player in the opposite line and then join the back of that line. Drill continues in this way.

Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move forward to the other side. Whilst doing so they, they squat, go high and then return to the squat position. Aim for 8 squats during each run, and players should go up and down the half court twice.
