Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Handball

Handball

Set up:
- For handball, use the 5v5 size field. 

-One team with color pinnies 
- Set up 2 teams, but do not use goalies

Execution:
- The ball is moved around the field by all players using their hands.
- Upon catching a ball, that player can take 2 steps (like basketball after picking up your dribble) to pivot and must pass the ball to a teammate using their hands.
- If the ball is intercepted, the team catching it then moves up the field.
- If the ball is dropped on a pass that is a turnover to the defending team at the spot of the drop.
- To score, the final pass must be headed or volleyed into the goal to score.

Quality:
- Choose 1-2 focuses for your team for this specific drill. Do not try to coach every aspect. As with any training session there should be 1 key focus you want your team to improve on by the end of this activity 
- Stop at a few opportunities to coach, and demonstrate of your key focus.

Progression:
- Add a 2nd ball to the game to work on team awareness and communication.
- Mark a center line, and prior to a goal counting, all of the attacking team must be in the attacking half to encourage team mobility and support.

-All players have to score to encourage getting players involved

-Volley's count as 1 point, headers count as 3 points!
