Step-by-step development of initial actions after a fast throw-off (TU 19): Handball technical literature

By Jörg Madinger

The objective of this training unit is to develop a simple initial action after a fast throw-off. Following warm-up and a coordination run exercise, the players practice the basics during the ball familiarization phase and the goalkeeper warm-up shooting. During the three subsequent exercises, the players further develop the running and passing paths and eventually combine them in order to create an initial action. In the closing game, the players implement what they practiced before.

The training unit consists of the following key exercises:
- Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 10 minutes/total time: 10 minutes)
- Coordination run (10/20)
- Ball familiarization (10/30)
- Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/40)
- Offense/Small groups (10/50)
- Offense/Team (15/65)
- Offense/Team (15/80)
- Closing game (10/90)
Training unit total time: 90 minutes

Difficulty: High level (youth teams under 17 years of age and adult teams)

TU 19-1 Warm-up/Stretching (10/10)

Course:

- Two players each make a team. Each team has one handball. The teams crisscross the court while easily passing the ball.

- The two players should keep changing the running moves (forward, backward, sidestepping) and the distance to each other.

Extension after a couple of minutes:

- If a team of two has managed to steal another team’s ball without losing their own ball, the team that has lost the ball must do five quick jumping jacks, for example. And so on.

The players perform stretching exercises together.
