A solid defense is essential for modern team handball, aiming not just to prevent goals but to actively regain possession and initiate quick attacks. This collection of exercises begins with individual defensive fundamentals, emphasizing position-specific training that lays the groundwork for cooperative defense strategies. Key components include legwork, 1-on-1 defense, pivot coverage, and quick adjustments, alongside blocking and anticipating plays on the wings within a proactive defense framework. The second section focuses on small group defense, highlighting the importance of communication when handing over or taking over attacking players along the defensive line and coordinating efforts against the pivot. The final chapter presents cooperative team defense strategies, including 6-0, 5-1, 3-2-1, and 4-2 systems, along with their variations. These exercises are designed to inspire coaches and players to develop their own defensive concepts while leveraging the unique strengths of their defense players for optimal teamwork. The contents cover individual basics, small group work, and team cooperation, ensuring a comprehensive approach to mastering defensive play in handball.

The five training units in this book focus on training of handball basic skills for young players aged 9 to 12 years. The individual training units deal with passing precision, shooting movements, dribbling technique, breaking away from man coverage, and passing feints, respectively. The players develop the individual skills methodically and step by step from basic to complex level. You may adjust the complexity of the exercises to your team’s level of performance by intensifying the individual drills.This book contains the following training Improving passing precision during running movements- Developing and improving the shooting movement- Improving the dribbling technique while observing the game situation- Breaking away from man coverage using running feints- Gaining positional advantage using passing feints

Goalkeeper warm-up shooting is essential for almost every training unit. These 60 warm-up shooting exercises provide you with a variety of ideas to make the warm-up shooting challenging and diverse, both for the goalkeepers and the field players. The exercises particularly focus on improving the players’ dynamics even during the warm-up shooting. The exercises are illustrated and described in an easy, comprehensible manner. They can be immediately integrated in every training unit. Whether you combine the exercises with additional coordination drills or use them as an introduction to the main part – various difficulty levels allow for adjustment of the warm-up shooting to each training unit and age group.

These training units elaborate initial actions against the 6-0 defense system as well as variable options for continued playing. The first three training units teach the tactical basics of playing against the 6-0 defense on an individual and a small-group basis. This includes the dynamic piston movement with breaking through decisions as well as the basics of crossing movements and team play with the pivot. The subsequent three training units introduce crossing of the center back with the wing player as an initial action and provide three more options for the team to overcome the defense through continued playing.This book contains the following training units: - Basics of the piston movement- Basics of the crossing movement- Interacting with the pivot- Long crossing of the center back and the wing player as initial actio

The 3-2-1 defense system is an excellent strategy to put the attacking players under pressure in their initial actions. This often results in quick turnovers and fast breaks. However, a good basic fitness as well as a thorough 1-on-1 defense training are prerequisite for this. To make your youth training comprehensive, include practicing the 3-2-1 defense system as a mandatory element.As in each volume of the handball-uebungen.de series, this book has its focus on practical exercises which can be integrated in each handball training unit. Get inspired, learn how to develop a 3-2-1 defense system, and don’t forget to be creative on your own! A short theoretical introduction to the general training schedule will help you to integrate training units into your own annual schedule.

A good defense is a prerequisite for modern team handball. The intention is not only to prevent goals but also to actively win the ball and subsequently initiate a fast attack. The offense should permanently be put under pressure and forced to make mistakes. The exercises in this collection initially deal with the individual basics of defense play. Individual and position-specific training marks the starting point for subsequent cooperative defense play and allows for choosing the appropriate defense system. The basics both include exercises on legwork, 1-on-1 defense and covering the pivot in combination with fast adjustment to subsequent actions as well as blocking and anticipating on the wing positions of a proactive defense system. The second part of the collection deals with cooperative small group defense play and focuses on handing over/taking over attacking players along the defense line (width of defense) and on making agreements when defending against the pivot. The third chapter introduces cooperative team defense in 6-0, 5-1, 3-2-1, and 4-2 defense systems along with possible variants. Get inspired by the exercises, develop your own defense concepts, and make use of the individual strengths of your defense players for optimal cooperation.

The small group play of the back position players and the pivot is an important offense element in almost each age group. The basics of interacting with the pivot should already be established in the training of youth teams. Positioning and screening play an important role here. The first three training units in the book provide different options of interacting with the pivot. With increasing age, the space for team play gets smaller. This leads to more challenging running paths for the back position players and higher requirements for the pivot's screening. Particularly in adult teams, the physical characteristics of the pivot play a role, too. The last training unit focuses on achieving positional advantages by positioning the physically stronger pivot next to a physically weaker defending player (mismatch). The courses of each training unit are set up step by step and have numerous supporting notes.

The training units provided enhance your team's handball-specific fitness, focusing on speed, speed endurance, and strength. Strength training emphasizes core stability through musculoskeletal and dynamic stabilization exercises, crucial for high performance and injury prevention in handball. Key skills include reflexive jumping power, short sprints, and speed endurance, essential for success in the sport. These units integrate strength training with short contests and handball-specific exercises, promoting a diverse and enjoyable fitness regimen for older youth and adult teams, while also adaptable for younger players with appropriate difficulty adjustments. The training units include: TU 1: Focuses on reflexive jumping power through handball-specific shooting exercises, incorporating warm-up, coordination runs, and a closing game. TU 2: Aims to improve speed strength endurance with various running directions, featuring intense exercises that can be used during preparation periods or season breaks. TU 3: Concentrates on handball-specific endurance with fast break movements, including a series of running and jumping exercises, culminating in a team fast break contest. TU 4: Intense athletics training for arms and legs, involving high-intensity warm-ups and a combination of jumping and strength exercises. TU 5: A playful, endurance-focused unit directly related to handball, featuring high running intensity and competitive
