From warm-up to handball team play. Jörg Madinger

      - By passing quickly (A and B) and moving in a well-coordinated manner (C), the attacking team tries to put a player in a good shooting position (D).

      - The team scores if the shooting player hits one side of the vaulting box.

      - The shooting player is not allowed to step into the defined area around the vaulting box.

      - Following each shooting attempt, the other team gets the ball and starts an attack on the opposite vaulting box.

      - As soon as one of the teams has scored two (three) times, remove one of the intermediate parts of the vaulting box.

      - The team that takes down their vaulting box first wins the game.

      

Following a shooting attempt, the players need to adjust immediately and start an attack on the opposite vaulting box.

      No. 7 Team ball in three squares

      Topic: Short warm-up games

      Minimum number of players: 8

       Difficulty level:

      Equipment required: 3 different throwing toys, e.g., 1 handball, 1 frisbee, 1 softball; 8 cones

       Setting:

      - Define three playing fields using cones and make two teams.

      - Both teams play team ball on the individual playing fields using the respective throwing toy. The players are not allowed to bounce the toy.

      - Choose a different throwing toy for each playing field, e.g., common handball, medicine ball, frisbee, soft ball, tennis ball, etc.

      - After playing, the throwing toys must remain in the respective playing field.

       Course:

      - The team in possession of the toy tries to pass it 8 times (return passes are not allowed).

      - If the opposing team steals the toy, they may immediately try to pass it 8 times.

      - The team scores, if they manage to pass the toy 8 times. After scoring, the toy must be put on the floor at once.

      - Now the coach whistles once or twice, which is the sign for both teams to change the playing field accordingly.

       Changing the playing field upon the coach’s whistle:

      - One whistle: Change playing field upwards (A).

      - Two whistles: Change playing field downwards (B).

      - The team that first secures the new throwing toy may immediately try to pass it 8 times.

       Examples:

      - End of game on playing field 1

      -- One whistle; the players need to move to playing field 3. However, the players need to sprint around one of the two cones first before they are allowed to enter playing field 3 (C).

      -- Two whistles; the players need to move to playing field 2.

      - End of game on playing field 2

      -- One whistle; the players need to move to playing field 1.

      -- Two whistles; the players need to move to playing field 3.

      - End of game on playing field 3

      -- One whistle; the players need to move to playing field 2.

      -- Two whistles; the players need to move to playing field 1. However, the players need to sprint around one of the two cones first before they are allowed to enter playing field 1 (D).

      

If the teams remain in one playing field for too long, due to constantly switching ball possession, the coach may whistle anytime in between. The players need to adjust to the new situation immediately.

      No. 8 Team ball with subsequent action

      Topic: Short warm-up games

      Minimum number of players: 8

      Difficulty level:

      Equipment required: 1 handball, 8 to 10 cones

       Setting:

      - Use cones to define several goals.

      - Assign the numbers 1 to 4 to the side lines.

      - Make two teams.

       Course:

      - The teams play against each other.

      - By running and passing the ball in a well-coordinated manner (A), the team in ball possession tries to pass the ball 5 (3, 7) times to a teammate by bouncing it through one of the defined goals (B or D).

      - The players must attack a different goal each time (C). They are not allowed to bounce the ball through the same goal two times in a row.

      - The attacking team counts the bouncing passes through the goals aloud.

      - As soon as the team has passed the ball through the cones 5 times, the coach calls out a number between 1 and 4 (E).

      - The attacking team now tries to lay down the ball behind the respective side line (F).

      - The team scores if they manage to complete the whole course (pass 5 times through a goal and subsequently lay down the ball behind the correct side line).

      - The other team fetches the ball and now tries to score as well.

      - If there is a switch in ball possession, the goal counting starts over from 1.

      

The players need to switch quickly and run to the next goal immediately after scoring. After the team has passed the ball through the cones 5 times, the players need to run to the respective side line at once.

      

As soon as the scoring team has laid down the ball behind the side line, the other team needs to fetch the ball immediately and start an attack on the goals.
