need tips short goalkeeper

Hello there,

I recently switched from wing player to goalkeeper, i really like it in the goal except for a few things.

I am really short like 5"4/ 165 cm

  1. I am having trouble saving top shots, people said i have to jump, my wing jump was really good i just dont know how to use it as a keeper.
  2. How far should i stay from goal if there is 9m shot and for 7m shot(penalty)
  3. Any advice for 1v1 (quick breaks)
  4. Where to look at, what i now do is try to watch the arm but it gets me unfocused so my reaction is to late for ball
  5. Also need help with jump timing, like on pivot shot

any tips are welcome!

Looking for a match with 5-1 Defense

hello, I'm looking for a video (ideally on YouTube) in which a team plays (successfully) against a 5-1 defense. I'm clicking through lots of games, but so far I haven't found one where a 5-1 is played (one where the 1 is very offensive, almost in man-to-man coverage)

Maybe one of you knows a video? Thanks in advance

Now that free EHFtv is gone, where can I watch handball?

Notice that I am from Brazil, so local television isn't an option, sadly.

How to roll on landning

I play as a wing, and would like to learn how to land and roll after shooting. I’ve been trying to find tutorials on YT but haven’t really found anything good so I’ve mainly been looking at clips of Emil Jakobsen landing. Do you have any tips or do you know any good tutorials?

Some questions

  1. UK handball vs European handball. Why is the quality of handball so much better in Europe?

  2. Is recording training sessions effective for an individual? Or is it better to watch a professional league regularly? Or both?

  3. There seem to be very few adult player (18+) handball camps? I would love to join one to continue to improve and learn at least a bit of the language too! I think it’s very important to get experience abroad.

  4. How do you handle match day nerves? I have just been moved to the higher division team after playing in the club for a year and I want to make the best first impression.

Thanks in advance

Brazilian in need of help 🙏

Hello, everyone! How are you all doing?

I would like some help, if possible. I'm Brazilian and play handball for my university team.

Since handball isn't very popular here, it's really difficult to find good equipment, especially quality balls, which are usually extremely expensive (about 30% of the minimum wage each).

That's why we take advantage of when one of our teammates travels to Europe to buy balls, but as expected from a third-world country, this opportunity doesn't come up very often, so we often have to train/play with old, worn-out balls that most of you would probably consider unusable.

Last time, we bought some Kempa LEO balls, but they lasted just over a semester (and are already in terrible condition). Are there any balls that would last longer, or is this the normal "lifespan" of handball training ball?

So, I was wondering if you could recommend some good training balls with the best durability possible (hopefully cheap, haha).

Gidsel to SGF?

Is Gidsel on his way to Flensburg?

Berlin seems unable to add the needed breadth to the team, to play a role in the Bundesliga or the EHFCL - forcing him to play 60 minutes in each and every game.

No one can take that in the long run.

Equipment UK

Hi, I run a university handball club in the uk, and I’ve just got back to find that the facilities we use have misplaced our equipment. We have about a week and a half until the term starts, and currently (because of the nature of a university club) have essentially no money. Is there any advice on how we might get hold of some reasonable balls cheaply in the next week or so? Slightly concerned that if we don’t, we’ll have no new intake, and the club won’t survive

Sweaty palm and fingertips probleme!!

Everyone It is really hard to grab a size 3 ball with resin when you have sweaty hands. Does anyone know a top or truck to reduce sweating. I have tried antiperspirant but when it finally worked the skin from my fingertips got ripped from the resin

Bundeslinga possession statistics

Does anyone know where I can find game-by-game possession/attack counts ("erfolgreiche angriffe") for the Bundesliga prior to the current season? These are posted for this season's games, but the re-design of the HBL website seems (for now, hopefully) not to provide access to detailed match statistics from prior seasons.

Tips for a back player

Hello dear community, I am an aspiring back player who can't seem to shoot well over blocks or do a good 1v1. I try to approach without the ball and build momentum but the steps just don't step right and I end up getting caught. I'm 188cm and 68kg. Just general tips would do wonders, thanks.

How to get rid of fear of balls

I been playing handball for about 3 years and 4 months ago I decided to become a goalkeeper because I’m from a small club with and we did not have any goalkeeper.

I am a really competitive person and always want to be as good as possible but as soon as I started playing goalie I realize I was really afraid of getting shot at. Especially the range between 9-6 meters. Cuz it’s not close enough to push up but to close for you to actually have time to catch the ball normally.

Tho, during matches I don’t have the same problem because I got to much adrenaline and not enough time to think about all the bad things that could happend.

To the point. Does anyone have any tips or ways I can practice to get rid of my fear.

Handball team in South Jersey

Hey guys so I’m thinking about starting a handball team in the south jersey region. Maybe at first just a small team that has like pick up games every two or three days out of the week. Then maybe moving into a team that travel later in the future. Right now I’m just posting to see if there is interest in people playing in the region.
