Team Building Activity: Handball (15 mins)

Organization:

- Field size depending on how many players w/ goals

- Even amount of players

Instruction:

- The ball is moved around the field by all players using their hands.

- Upon catching a ball, that player can take 1 step (like basketball after picking up your dribble) to pivot and must pass the ball to a teammate using their hands.

- If the ball is intercepted, the team catching it then moves up the field.

- If the ball is dropped on a pass that is a turnover to the defending team at the spot of the drop.

- To score, the final pass must be headed into the goal to score.

Progression:

- End zone versus using a goal for the final point, so player only needs to catch it inside for a point.

- Add a 2nd ball to the game to work on team awareness and communication.

- Mark a center line, and prior to a goal counting, all of the attacking team must be in the attacking half to encourage team mobility and support.
