8.2 Basic Defence Skills
The inseparable part of handball is the defensive phase of a game. This is a very difficult task
for a PE teacher, because pupils like to attack and to score goals. However, an experienced PE
teacher can manage to highlight the importance and the basis of defence.
In modern handball, players possess a high level of motoric skills, tactical thinking, fast reaction,
anticipation of situations, counteraction to the opponent’s intention, etc. Individual defensive
skills include posture, side-to-side stepping, jumping, running, running backwards, stopping
and changing direction, reaction to fakes, interception of the ball, blocking the ball, etc.

Defending position
The defending position, or guard, is used to hamper a quick start and prevent further
coordinated movement. A stable posture is required during personal clashes during the
defensive part of a game. From this basic defensive position, the movement is performed
by a series of quick steps, transferring the weight to the front. PE teachers should make sure
a player does not jump with both legs or cross legs while moving sidewards.
Immediately after losing the ball, a player should position himself/herself between the attacker
and the goal.
