Jörg Madinger - Varied handball shooting drills

- When hitting a target, the players receive points as follows:

-- Medicine ball: 2 points

-- Dice: number of points on the dice after it has been hit

-- Cone: 5 points

- The coach writes down the points of each team. The targets that have been hit must be put back on top of the boxes.

- After they have played the pass, the players take over the position to which they passed the ball (E and F).

- and play the next pass.

- After they have shot, and line up next to the respective ball box (G).

- Each player must shoot 5 (10) times. The team with the most points wins the game.

- Consider a second round.

Variant:

- Limit the playing time. Which team has scored highest after 5 (7) minutes?

Make sure the players perform the shooting and passing movements correctly. Revise constantly.

The players may be given some time before the game in order to develop a team strategy.

If no foam dice is available, the players may shoot at a cone or a medicine ball instead. Once they have hit the respective target, the team may roll a small dice to figure out the number of points.

Category:Shooting at fixed targets

Minimum number of players:9

Difficulty level:

Equipment required:11 cones, 4 small vaulting boxes, 3 medicine balls, 1 balance bench, 1 deck of playing cards

Setting:

- Array cones on top of a balance bench and define a shooting line.

- starts, flips a card (here Diamonds) (A), runs to the respective shooting line (B), and shoots at the respective target (C).

- If the player hits the target, he gets a point.

- As soon as runs to the shooting target, starts, flips a card (D) (here Clubs), runs to the shooting line (here the 6-meter line) (E), and shoots (F).

- And so on. Which team scores highest?
