Jörg Madinger - Systematic development of handball offense concepts

- The players each have a ball and run along the lines on the court floor (A).

- While doing this, they perform different running moves as instructed by the coach:

→ Dribbling the ball with the right/left hand.

→ Dribbling the ball with the right/left hand alternately.

→ Sidestepping while dribbling the ball.

→ Hopping and handing over the ball from the right to the left hand (and back) above the head.

→ Running backward and moving the ball around the hips in circles (see figure).

- The coach whistles after a while and defines a target which the players must touch (e.g. goal post, center line (B), a corner of the playing field, a green line, something red (not worn by the player himself) etc.).

- The players sprint and try to fulfill the task as fast as possible.

- The last player must fulfill an extra task (10 quick jumping jacks, 10 push-ups etc.).

- Afterwards, the players perform stretching/mobilization exercises together.

Setting:

- The players stand in a circle, has a ball and stands in the center of the circle.

Course:

- plays double passes with the players (A, B, C, and D).

- Before a player may receive a ball (A), he must clap his hands one time, then catch the ball, and pass it back again (B).

- If a player misses to clap, or if a player fails to catch the ball, he must sprint to the center line (E)

and back (F).

- may also feint a pass (G) and pass to another player instead (H).

- If a player claps even though he does not get the ball, he must also sprint to the center line (J).

Variant:

- Instead of , one of the players undertakes the task in the center.

- For large groups, divide the players into two smaller groups.

(or the player in the center) should try to fool the players standing in the circle as often as possible.

Setting:

- Define the running path with cones.

Course:

- bounces the ball against the gym wall (A) and afterwards runs around the remote cone (B).

- catches (D) the ball bouncing back from the wall (C), immediately throws it against the wall as well (E), and also runs around the cone.

- catches the ball bouncing back from the wall (F), and so on.

Position the cone in such a way that the players can start the next round shortly after they ran around the cone and do not have to wait before catching the ball. For larger groups, divide the players into several groups.

The players should bounce the ball against the wall in different variants:

- Bounce it against the wall directly and catch it directly.

- Bounce it against the wall indirectly (bounce pass) and catch it indirectly (after it bounced on the floor one time).

- Bounce it against the wall indirectly and catch it directly.

Setting:

- Define the starting position of the pivot as well as the shooting corridor with two foam noodles (foam beams).

Course:

- plays the initial pass to (A), makes a slight piston movement to the right, and receives a return pass (B).

- clearly moves to the left (C) (he may bounce the ball one time with the hand that is not in direction of the defense).

- starts from the pivot position, crosses behind (D), and receives a pass.

- moves far to the right and passes the ball into the parallel running path of (E), who runs along the beam on the right side and eventually shoots at the right side of the goal as instructed (hands, top, bottom) (F).

- The goalkeeper starts from the center of the goal and tries to save the shot (G).

- starts the next course with as the pivot and as the shooting player.

- After the shot, turns around and alternately touches the goalposts and the cross bar three times with the right hand with his back turned to the goal. Afterwards, he runs to the left side, touches the left goalpost (H), turns around, immediately sprints to , and touches the ball presented (J). Subsequently, moves back to the center of the goal in order to save the next shot.
