The objective of this training unit is to improve running paths, passing and the decision-making process during the first wave. After a warm-up running exercise, the subsequent short game already includes quick adjustment exercises and long passes. During the ball familiarization phase and the goalkeeper warm-up shooting, the players practice playing long passes before they combine several actions with first wave initiation in a series of shots. The closing small group exercises finally focus on making passing decisions.
The training unit consists of the following key exercises:
– Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 10 minutes/total time: 10 minutes)
– Short game (15/25)
– Ball familiarization (10/35)
– Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/45)
– Offense/Series of shots (15/60)
– Offense/Small groups (15/75)
– Offense/Small groups (15/90)
Training unit total time: 90 minutes
Difficulty: Medium level (youth teams under 15 years of age and adult teams)

JÖRG MADINGER
In 1995, a friend convinced me to join him in coaching a handball youth team (male, under 13 years of age).
This was the beginning of my career as a team handball coach. Ever since I enjoyed working as a coach and had high requirements concerning my exercises. Soon, the standard pool of exercises wasn’t enough for me anymore and I started to modify and develop drills myself.
Today, I coach a broad range of youth and adult teams with different performance levels and adjust my training units to the individual needs of the teams.
I have been selling my exercises and drills online at handball-uebungen.de for more than 10 years. Since, in handball training, there is a tendency towards a general athletic training that focuses on coordination work – especially in the training of youth teams –, a large number of my games and exercises can be applied to other sports as well.
Get inspired by the various game concepts, be creative, and rely on your own experiences!
