Team Handball - Learning through Modified Rules

Hello All, 

Techniques learnt:

•PASSING – USE ONE HAND (LEVERAGE)

•CATCHING – USE BOTH HANDS (SAFER) / ‘SOFT HANDS’ (ABSORB IMPACT)

•DRIBBLE – LESS! Small Ball is easily stolen or poorly controlled…. SO PASS MORE… MAKE THE BALL DO THE WORK!!!

•DEFENCE STANCE – stable base, hands up or outstretched. 

 

2 main types of defence:

1)MAN TO MAN – EACH DEFENDER IS ASSIGNED TO MARK A SPECIFIC OPPONENT

2) ZONE – EACH DEFENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A SECTOR

  

 To allow certain techniques or team tactics to be applied in any game, the rules can be modified (and changed back later to the normal game). Thus, in half-court handball, we have the following rules:

 

Half-Court Handball

•2 TEAMS USE HALF OF HANDBALL COURT

•ATTACKERS: 3 RESTARTS TO SCORE!

•DEFENDERS:

•INTERCEPT / PRESSURE ATTACKERS TO MAKE MISTAKES /

•DELAY / DISRUPT 

 

 

Questions for reflection:

1.Was your defense successful? Why?

2.Can we have a hybrid defense? Why?

3.How does your team assign roles?

4.What strategies did your team use?
