Swiss Handball Movement - Tenn...

Handball: warming-up : Diagona...

Simple pass and follow drill. Starting with two players on the first cone and then one player on every other cone. The first player throws the ball to player two and then immediately sprints to follow their pass. Player 2 catches the ball and then turns and throws the player 3 before then also following their pass. This pattern continues until the player on the final cone receives the ball. At this point they dribble back to the start cone and the drills starts again.

Handball: warming-up : Give an...

The first player waiting in line passes to the first player on the cone and immediately follows their pass and runs behind that player to receive the return pass. Once they have the ball in hand again they pass the ball to the next player and drive behind them to loop in front of them and receive the ball again. Once the player reaches the end of the course they dribble the ball to the corner and then sprint around the court back to the end of the line with the ball in hand.

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.

warming-up : Figure of 8 warmi...

Set up two circles of cones across the width of the court. Players run one at a time around the cones in a figure of 8 as quickly as possible. You can split your players into two groups in both halves of the court and run this exercise as a relay race - the first team to complete the figure of 8 running wins the race!

General

Handball: warming-up : Running...

Players run one after the after moving with ball. As they are running with the ball they should try to stay within one meter of the player in front of them. The coach can dictate what players are doing as they run around the cones.

warming-up : Pass and go, pass...

Three players line up across the width of the pitch, these players are the return passers. When they receive a pass they throw it immediately back to the player who passed to them. The remainder of the players have a ball each and start on the sideline. Their job is to run the width of the pitch, passing the ball to all the return passers, catching the return pass and then carrying on to the next player. When they reach the other side of the pitch they run around the cone and then dribble as fast as they can to the back of the queue.

Fast Break - Defence into atta...

Have a line of attacking players all with a ball each standing on both sides of the court. Inside the 9m line will be two defenders, one on each side. The drill starts with the first attacker running at goal and shooting on goal. The defenders are allowed to obstruct the shot but not tackle. Once the ball is in the hands of the keeper they should throw it out to the defender who is making a fast break-away run up the court. After running to the half-way line the defender joins the back of the queue, the attacking player becomes the next defender and the drill begins again on the other side of the court.

General

Handball: Change of Direction ...

Players dribble one after another around to the throw off line and they dribble along this line towards the center. When the trainer blows his whistle the player suddenly changes direction to the goal and shoots at the goal.

General

Cross and shoot! 527 crossing ...

Players from both lines run forwards at the same time, with the ball carrier crossing over in front of the other player. When the players cross over they should switch the ball between them as at this point they are blocking the goal keeper's view. Once the other player has the ball they should shoot on goal before then collecting their ball and joining the back of the queue.

General

Roll and Pick Up 615 goal keep...

Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move to the other side. While moving, they will roll a ball a short distance in front of them, before running after it and picking it up. This is repeated all the way across the court. Aim for 8 pick ups across the half court, and goalkeepers should be running up and down the half court twice.

General

Divots! 111 running/jumping/mo...

Scatter some cones (divots) across the area, some the right way up, and some upside down. Split the group into two teams - 'Hackers and Greenkeepers' - and spread them out across the area. On the word 'Go' the Hackers run round turning the divots upside down and the Greenkeepers must turn them the right way up.

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.

Debbie Cross Australia

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
