This document provides exercises for teaching basic handball skills like shooting, passing, defending, and positioning to students. It outlines drills for shooting towards the goal, tackling opponents, and quick passing without bouncing. Transition drills are described to practice passing while moving forward in attack. Additional drills teach attacking positions and using the width of the court by passing between positions. A multi-team drill allows many students to practice attacking and defending at the same time.

Basic Handball Exercises

For Schools
Points covered here

• Basic shooting
• Basic defending
• Basic passing
• Use positions
– Defence
– Attack
Basic shooting (for goals)
Three easy points to remember:
1. Move towards goal
2. Elbow at least on shoulder hight
3. Twist shoulders and follow through

Basic defending
Tackling on upper body is ok provided:
1. You are positioned between the attacker and the goal (absolutely no tackle
from behind!)
2. You are not tackling an arm outstreched for a shot
3. You are not pushing the player with your outstretched arms
Passing

Objective: Make sure passes are played and caught safely as well as
quickly. This can be made into a team competition.

Remark: When passing have elbow up at shoulder height and aim passes at
the chest where it is easiest to catch. Be mobile on the feet.

Additional Lesson: If the passes work alright you can try and let someone
race against the ball in order to illustrate that it is much quicker to pass the
ball rather to run it.
Objective: Teach quick passes and pass security. Passing

Remark: Have a number of balls in each team’s box/area. Let teams try to
get balls from their box into the other team’s box. Disallow bouncing and
force players to play passes.

Additional Lesson: To drive home the lesson that passing is to be preferred


to bouncing you can allow one team NO paces (ie only bouncing) and the
other team is only allowed to pass WITHOUT BOUNCES. The passing
teams should always win.
Passing
Objective: Teach quick passes and pass security. Also being available to be
passed to. Have two teams which have to keep the ball in their team.
Remark: Use some court area (eg. half netball court or half volleyball court).
Disallow bouncing.

Pitfalls: Players hide behind defenders. They should run into empty spaces
which are accessible for passes, ie close to ball carrier.
Passing
Objective: Teach quick passes and pass security. Ball is played between
players in outside circle. Inside players attempting to intercept.
Remark: Outside players are stationary. Only inside players are moving and
attempting to intercept the ball,

Pitfalls: Too many lob passes. Point out the advantage of bounce passes
Positioning
Attacking Positions:

RW: Right Wing


LW: Left Wing
RW
RB PIV: Pivot
LB: Left Back
CB: Centre Back

and can only count to 3.

Players tend to leave the line. This is
1 to be discouraged. Pivots can use the
gaps left by the player stepping out.

The entire defense moves a little to the side where the ball is. In
general defenders do not cross.
Transition
Objective: Passing while moving forward. Basic pattern used for
transition from defence to attack. Insist on NO bounce.
Remark: The number of passes will depend on the speed of
players and is in itself irrelevant.
Pitfalls: Passing into the players back. More than three steps.
Immediate bounce when receiving the ball.
Transition
Objective: Passing while moving forward. Basic transition with
straight shot on goal (as in fast break).
Pitfalls: Players keep passing the ball once close to goal.
Whoever is inside 9m (or close to circle) should shoot.
Transition / Attack
Objective: Passing while moving forward. Basic transition with transition
to positional play. Teach students to not finish attacking action as soon as
the ball is up the court.
Remark: Only after passing the ball twice to each attacking position (as
indicated by markers) a player can have a shot at goal.
Pitfalls: Place the markers rather wide to ensure space between back
players.
Attack
Objective: Internalise attacking positions and make students use
the width of the court by passing from one position to the next.
Pitfalls: Students will attempt to play long passes instead the
shortest available pass to the next player. (Caution: Pass
precision, pass interception)

Remark: Place markers on positions. If


you have more students they can be
stacked behind the back players and
each player will go to the back of the row
after two or three passes (see CB
position).
Attack
Objective: Internalise attacking positions and make students use
the width of the court by passing from one position to the next.
Introduce piston movement to create pressure on defence
Pitfalls: Students tend to stay close to defence instead of moving
back to the marker after passing on.
Remark: Place markers on positions and
place them a little further back than in
the same exercise without piston
movements. Back players have to move
towards the goal before the receive the
ball. Once they receive the ball they can
move another step or two towrds the
goal, then they should pass on at the top
of the movement towards the goal.

If you have more students they can be


stacked behind the back players and
each player will go to the back of the row
after two or three passes (see CB
position).
Attack

Objective: Internalise attacking positions and make students use


the width of the court by passing from one position to the next.
This is a perpetual passing exercise. After every pass each
player moves one position further on.

Remark: Place markers on positions.


This exercise can be done with piston
movements as well.
Attack / Defense
Objective: Match situation for many kids at the same time. Three teams on
court (2 defending, one attacking at a time).
Remark: Team keeps attacking as long as they conclude their attacks with
a goal. If the attacking team does not score it is a turnover and the team
which defended will move up to the other end of the court to attack. They
will stay in attack as long as they score.
Pitfalls: Too short attacks. Players do not go to their assigned positions.
