Handball: Dribbling duels

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

David, Handball Coach

DESCRIPTION

All your players have a ball each and are dribbling inside the goal area.

Players must try to dribble their ball around the area whilst at the same time knocking away other player's balls.

Once a player is dispossessed they must step outside of the area.

The winner is the last player with their ball.

COACHING POINTS

Team dribble - Points game:

In this game there are more attackers than defenders.

The aim for the attackers is to dribble from one line to the other without being dispossessed. Every time they successfully do this they score a point for their team.

After a player is tackled they may retrieve their ball but they will not score a point on that turn.

Each team has 10 runs before you the teams are changed.

The team who scored the most runs is the winning side.

The two defenders start tagging the other players. Once tagged players must put their ball aside and help the taggers.

The last player dribbling is the winner.
