What you can do with the handball drill designer

  • Place players, cones, balls and target spots on a 40×20m court background around the 6m and 9m lines.
  • Start from ready-made drills like wing finishing, pivot work or a 3v2 fast break and adapt them.
  • Mark zones for defence-to-attack transitions after a goalkeeper save.
  • Set the player-count range for each drill (e.g. 2v1 fast break needs 3, circulation in superiority needs 7).
  • Export the drill as an image for your training session.

How to design a handball training drill

  1. Pick a template — 1v1 duels, shooting from 9m, back finishing — or start from scratch.
  2. Place players, cones and balls on the indoor court.
  3. Mark zones around the 6m and 9m lines for finishing or shooting reps.
  4. Review the full drill before saving it.
  5. Download the drill as an image to bring to practice.

Who it's for

  • Handball coaches planning weekly sessions around wing, back and pivot play.
  • Trainers documenting fast-break and transition drills for the coaching staff.
  • Handball academies sharing position-specific drills between age groups.
  • Youth coaches who need a clear, visual drill instead of a verbal walkthrough.

Built around handball's positions and lines

Handball drills revolve around specific lines on the court — the 6m goal area, the 9m free-throw arc — and specific roles: wings finishing from a tight angle, the pivot turning with his back to goal, backs shooting in the air from distance. The templates here are built around those real roles instead of generic cone patterns.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set up wing finishing drills?
Place the wing in the corner with a feeder at back position and work the jump into the area at different angles. The Wing finishing template has the base set-up; add a goalkeeper and vary the side so both wings get reps.
How do I train fast breaks?
Start with the 2v1 fast break template and progress to 3v2. Begin each rep with a save or a steal so the transition starts the way it does in a match, and set a time limit to finish.
Can I work on shooting from 9 metres?
Yes — the Shooting from 9 m template places backs at the free-throw line. Add a passive then active defender to simulate the block, and rotate shooters through back-left, centre and back-right.
