- You recognize the beginner teams at first glance. Two or three "runners". Even the goalkeeper runs back and forth (children's handball). No runner at all and three players switch out at the front and in at the back.
>> A runner is a must. From C or B youth level, there will also be a specialist change from goalkeeper to shooter, although not so with children, unless the field players are completely stupid in goal. Otherwise, running back and forth is replaced by switching. From C or B, there will also definitely be a specialist change from defense to attack.
- Bring discipline when changing ! " Straight out! ", i.e. at right angles to the outside line. For beginners, substitution players can sometimes high-five with the substitution players. The switching advantage evaporates completely.
- " The goalkeeper is the first attacker! " Nowhere is this more true than in the sand:
a) First look at the goal opposite >> goal throw.
b) Second look to the substitute long >> face-off.
c) Third look, if necessary, to the second substitute in the center* >> Long pass.
d) Only then is the short pass allowed
e) Without a specialist substitution, i.e. field player in goal: pass-back pass with runner, at top speed into the centre/into the gap on the substitution side and maximum pressure from the player with the jersey.
*If I were to substitute twice up front, the first substitute would have to run towards the centre as a passing station/distraction, the second (spin shot expert) would run in briefly,
- One-point shots must be taboo as soon as possible . Coast-to-coast, bring the shooter into the game and develop three or four spin shot cracks. With boys, teach the Kempa early on, with girls... almost hopeless. But I have a long-standing tradition with all teams that my goalkeepers, be it D or C, shoot the opponent from their own goal. And in the D we always manage to develop, say, two or three spin shot cracks.
- The substitutions have to be as accurate as the pit stop in racing. In children's handball, I think a) runners, 2 in front, 2 out back or b) runners, 1 back, 1 front (that's how I play) make the most sense. Specialist substitutions in goal, depending on who I have. At the moment we have a "real" goalkeeper as a throwing monster, who then makes the specialist substitution. Otherwise, the two or three sand pigs are used in goal, without specialist substitutions.
Thank you again for the detailed tips. These points are really helpful in understanding where rookie teams can improve. I will focus on disciplined substitutions, using the goalkeeper as the first attacker and encouraging spin shots and Kempa early on. We look forward to implementing these strategies together with the team.
Best regards,
