Handball: center shot with defenders

DESCRIPTION

B1,B2 and B3 throw just along side their defenders after passing with them first.

Attackers should always be in a forward motion when reveiving the pass.

Variations :

- center shot when running

- center shot hip height

- center shot knee height

The rather passive defender only shows the attacker where to throw : defender has hands high --> attacker should decide for a shot at hip of knee height. Defender has hands low --> attacket decedis to throw with a high shoulder height center shot or running shot.

5 throws and then change positions with defenders or left, center, right

- at the same time get your hand at the height of your shoulder and then backwards
- fore-arm should have a 90 degree angle with upper-arm
- hip goes turns backwards together with the throwing arm
- hand behind ball, fingers slightly spread
- the thrird and last step going foreward must be a big one and explosive
- foot into the direction of the goal
- hand,arm,shoulder,hips must move foreward explosively, with full force
- hand behind the ball, don't squeeze the ball
- when the other foot comes off the floor, the throwing arm should pass the head (ear height)
