Handball drills

Free, animated handball drills with coaching points. Watch the drill play out, then plan it into your team’s training in SquadSpace.

Bounce and Listen

A playful warm-up where everyone has their own ball. The children get hundreds of bounces, learn to control the ball with their fingertips and to look up while dribbling.

10 min6

The Ball Thief

A dribbling game for the youngest. Everyone bounces their ball while a ball thief tries to steal one. The children learn to shield the ball with the body, bounce with their heads up and find open space.

12 min6

Mini Handball 3v3

Small-sided match play: three court players and a goalkeeper per team on a smaller court. Lots of touches and shots, and the children learn to play freely and restart quickly after a goal.

20 min8

Pass and Follow Square

A classic passing drill: pass to the next cone and follow your pass. Trains passing and catching with both hands and moving straight after you pass.

12 min6

Bounce Slalom and Jump Shot

Bounce through a slalom, take three steps up to the 9 m line and finish with a jump shot. Trains bouncing with both hands, the step rhythm and shooting against a goalkeeper.

15 min4

Running Passes in Threes

Three players run the length of the court in three lanes and pass at speed, middle–wing–middle, and the middle player finishes from 9 m. Trains passing and catching at full speed and the step rule.

15 min7

Wing Shots from Both Wings

The wing gives the ball to the back, runs round the cone, catches at speed, jumps into the goal area and widens the angle. Trains the wing's running line, catching on the move and shooting from a tight angle.

15 min7

Goalkeeper Series from Five Positions

The goalkeeper faces shots from the left wing, left back, centre back, right back and right wing and sets their position for each one. Trains positioning, moving between angles and quick reactions.

15 min6

Crossing Between the Backs

The centre back attacks diagonally to one side and the left back crosses behind and gets the ball in the gap. Trains the timing of the cross, running angles and pulling defenders along.

18 min7

Fast Break in Waves

After a save the fast break starts: the wings run as the first wave, the backs follow as the second. When the first wave is stopped the ball goes to the second wave, which uses the overload. Trains speed, decisions and the structure of the fast break.

18 min9

6-0 Defence Shifting

Six defenders move with the ball as the attack passes it round. The defender facing the ball steps out, the neighbours cover and the whole defence slides to the ball side. Trains teamwork, stepping out and closing gaps.

20 min13

The Wing Runs In

The wing passes to the back and runs in along the 6 m line as a second pivot. The back finds the wing in the gap, or shoots when the defence drops to cover the run. Trains the run-in, timing and reading the defence.

18 min8

3v3 with a Pivot – Read and Choose

Left back, centre back and pivot against three defenders. The pivot sets a screen and the centre goes past it. If the neighbour helps, the back is free; if the defenders switch, the pivot rolls towards goal. Trains the screen and roll, decisions and teamwork.
