Skill Drill Handball Activities for Year 11

Students establish personal shooting accuracy baseline by taking 10 shots (5 from left approach, 5 from right approach) while focusing on technical shooting mechanics and peer assessment

Small-sided competitive activity where one attacker tries to lose a defender and receive passes from outside players within a confined square, developing spatial awareness, communication, deceptive movement and defensive positioning

Students practice give-and-go (one-two) passing patterns while running, using angled support players to develop timing and communication

Partners use iPads to photograph each other performing slow-motion digs, then analyse the images to discover and articulate the three key technical points of effective dig technique

Students practice shooting after dodging past defenders, progressing from passive to active defence while developing feinting techniques and shooting under pressure

Partners practice dig technique in a throw-bounce-dig pattern against a wall, with progressive challenges including distance variation and movement addition to develop consistency and accuracy

Students rotate between playing and coaching roles, providing specific technical feedback to peers based on assigned observation focus areas

Teams democratically choose three practice drills from their previous learning to prepare for competition, developing decision-making, initiative, and strategic thinking while refining skills
