Varied handball shooting drills. Jörg Madinger

-line/>

      Introduction

      Shooting is a central component of team handball and must be practiced and improved regularly. Therefore, it is reasonable to integrate shooting series into training units from time to time. This collection of exercises contains 60 comprehensible practical drills focusing on this subject. They can be integrated in every training unit.

      The exercises are divided into the following six categories and three difficulty levels (easy, medium, difficult):

      - Technique

      - Shooting at fixed targets

      - Series of shots at the goal

      - Shooting training for specific playing positions

      - Complex series of shots

      - Shooting competitions

      With these options, you can easily make your shooting trainings more diverse and create new approaches for every age group. Additional notes and possible variations should inspire you to further modify the exercises and to adjust them to your players’ level of performance.

      - Two players, each holding a handball, stand face-to-face at a distance of about 4 to 5 meters.

      - Both players do the exercise in parallel.

       Preparation:

      - Before starting the exercise, the players should rotate their wrists (clockwise and counterclockwise), hinge them back and forth, and finally stretch them slightly.

       Course 1:

      - The players lift their arms to the side at an angle of 90°, hinge the wrist back as far as possible (figure 1), and pass the ball to the other player by only moving their wrists (figure 2).

      - Change the throwing hand after 20 to 30 passes.

The players should pass the ball in such a way that their teammate can catch it at chest height.

       Course 2:

      - The players lift their arms straight up, hinge back their wrists (figure 3), and pass the ball to the other player by only moving the wrist. The players should hinge their wrists back (figure 3) and forth (figure 4) as far as possible.
