Activity Sheet:
Modified Handball


Activity Description:
  • Two teams are playing against each other in the attempt to score more points than the other team.
  • Each team has one goal on which to score; to score, players must pass the ball up the court and into the net.
Rules:
  • No goalies constantly protecting the goal.
  • Can only score from within 2 meters of goal.
  • Ball carrier may take no more than two steps.
Teaching Points:
  • Players will need to move to an open space in order to receive a pass.
  • Players should communicate with each other, letting ball carriers know who and where to pass to.
  • Short, quick passes will be more successful than long, lob passes.
Organization Points:
  • If available, use hockey nets layed flat so that students are shooting on a smaller target and to keep the level of the balls lower.  If hockey nets are not available, use a stick layed across two large pilons or benches layed on their sides.
