With novice learners, the usage of offensive numerical advantage and an empty goal will
naturally lead learners to understand the importance of discovering open attackers to receive
the ball (as there is always at least one) and to make more accurate passes. On the other
hand, when they lose the ball, they will be aware of the immediate need to protect the goal
(particularly when it is empty), otherwise the attacking team can get an easy shot.
At this level, we recommend not introducing individual marking, as it would make the game
even more crowded. A lined-up defence around the goal area should also be avoided, as it will
lead to a more static game with few scoring attempts. Instead, for example, instruct defenders
to regain the ball by pressuring higher up, but only if needed.
BEGINNER – MINI HANDBALL
2 nd stage: Even-sided game (4v4 or 5v5) with man-to-man defence
2 nd STAGE: MINI HANDBALL - INDIVIDUAL DEFENSIVE RESPONSIBILITY
With the change from an unstructured defence to a full court pressuring defence, learners
will be confronted with more demanding game problems (time-space to make decision and
to execute action decreases).
This type of defence is a rudimentary form of defensive organisation to exert pressure and to
regain ball possession. By defending higher up the court, the players will be active and make
more interceptions, which will trigger fast breaking play. At the same time, they will develop
defensive skills (including footwork and tackling).
Even-sided game (4v4 or 5v5) with full-court pressure and, then, half-court pressure
Recommendations:
Set up teams with balanced pairings (individual marking), like the best defender is
responsible for the best attacker.
