How do I show the difference between a 6-0 and a 5-1 defence?

Load the Closed 6-0 defence and the 5-1 defence with one up templates and shade each defender's area between the 6 and 9-metre lines. The space behind the advanced defender in the 5-1, and the long-range shot the 6-0 concedes, become obvious immediately.

Can I draw a back-centre cross step by step?

Yes. Start from the Back-centre cross template, put the back pinning their defender in step one and the centre crossing behind in step two. Playing it back shows the defence the exact moment they have to decide who steps out.

Is the 7v6 with an empty net covered?

Yes — there's a 7v6 superiority template. Draw the circulation to find the free player, then add a step with the defensive reaction if the ball is lost, since a turnover can mean an empty-net goal from the other half.

Handball Tactics Board

Most handball plays hinge on one block or cross near the 6m line — the tactical board lets you draw that single decisive movement clearly instead of losing it in a crowded full-court diagram.

What you can do with the handball tactical board

Place seven-a-side squads from two distinct teams on the court, goal areas included.
Draw arrows for pivot blocks, back-centre crosses and wing breaks.
Mark zones for defensive systems like the closed 6-0 or the staggered 3-2-1.
Animate a sequence step by step to show how a fast break develops over several passes.
Start from ready-made handball templates like the 3:3 attack or 7v6 superiority.
Export the board as an image.
