Training of defensive and semi-offensive cooperative defense strategies for handball teams. Jörg Madinger

Course 2 (Figure 2):

      - The course remains the same; however, now there are only two defending players playing in a slightly smaller field (the defending team of two substitutes one player each after two actions).

      

The defending players must be willing to get into physical contact and to collaborate to prevent the attacking player from shooting, breaking through, or playing a pass.

      

The attacking players must move dynamically and must not dread to get into physical contact in order to score as many points as possible.

      3. 1-on-1 defense play

      No. 10: Ball familiarization 1-on-1

       Difficulty level:

      Minimum number of players: 3

      Equipment required: 4 cones and 1 handball per group of 3

       Setting:

      - Make teams of three, each team having one ball and 4 cones.

      - The players stand as shown in the figure.

       Course:

      -

passes the ball to

and immediately receives a return pass (A).

      -

plays a slight banana pass over

to

(B).

      -

turns to the wall, bounces the ball once or twice against it and catches it again (C).

      - After his pass to

tries to get past

and pushes him past the cone using his arms (F).

      - After the action,

turns around at once, runs through the cones and to the other side (G), receives the ball from

, and immediately plays a return pass (H).

      -

(J) and the course starts over.

      - Change the defending players after four to five rounds.

      

should adjust immediately after the first action (F) and start the subsequent action (G and H).

      

during the entire action.

      

and push

backward and to the side by proper legwork.

      No. 11: Basic movements and 1-on-1

       Difficulty level:

      Minimum number of players: 3

      Equipment required: 1 cone and 1 handball per group of 3

       Basic setting:

      - The players make teams of three; each team has one cone and one ball.

       Course:

      -

makes a forward piston movement (A) and

steps forward into the piston movement path (B).

      -

passes he ball to

(C).

      -

slightly moves backward in order to secure the cone and then immediately steps forward into the piston movement path of

(D) -> “triangle move”.

      - Afterwards, the players repeat the piston movement and

receives the ball (E) etc.

      - The players keep repeating the piston movement until one of them bounces the ball (

in the example). This is the starting sign for the subsequent 1-on-1 action.

      -

now dynamically runs towards the cone (F) and tries to reach the cone in a 1-on-1 action (H).

away from the cone using proper legwork as well as his arms (G).

      - If

is successful and reaches the cone or if
