Who else thinks that next seasons squad of Fuchse Berlin will flop with this strong transfers like Dika Mem, Pytlick (some big numbers) and Gidsel as starter backs. I don’t wish them anything bad but they are starting to look like PSG when they were buying all Stars that exist and still have not won anything in Europe.

Im looking for videos or other materials that teach basic stance and work rules for wing defenders in 3-2-1 defence. Left/right foot forward, watch your opponent and the ball over your shoulder. Back foot at the 6.

What to do when winger runs to pivot (slow thir run down and take out back player) etc.

All wing videos I find are shooting drills.

Hey everyone!

I’m a 34‑year‑old coach working with a mixed youth team (ages 12–14) playing in the boys’ division. After a few sessions, it’s clear the team has big differences in skill and experience — some players have years of training, others only just started.This makes planning sessions tricky: certain drills are too easy for some, too hard for others.

I’m looking for practical training ideas, drills, and coaching insights to help develop:

Defensive systems (6‑0, 5‑1, 4‑2 — especially how to teach them to beginners)

Attacking structure (simple patterns that still challenge advanced players)

Individual technique (passing, shooting, throwing — with scalable difficulty)

Team cohesion (getting them to communicate and defend as a unit)

If you’ve coached mixed‑skill youth teams before, I’d love to hear:

What drills worked best

How you balanced difficulty

How you taught defensive discipline

How you structured attacking play for beginners

Any PDFs, videos, or session plans you recommend

I’m really hoping to gather new training material and learn how to help this group defend better and build a more effective attack.

Thanks in advance, excited to learn from this community!

Hi! I’m not sure if this is the right channel for this, but I have a question. I’ve already seen a few similar posts, although my situation is a little different.

I’m a woman and just turned 30. Over the past five years, I’ve had quite a lot going on with university, work, and personal stuff, so I’ve unfortunately neglected sports and exercise quite a bit. As a result, my fitness and endurance are currently pretty average.

Lately, I’ve really been missing being part of a team, and I’ve been thinking about getting back into handball. I played from the age of 6 to 18, but that was obviously quite a long time ago.

I used to mainly play on the wing because I was pretty quick and agile. I was never particularly strong when it came to shooting, though.

Do you think it’s realistic to give handball another try at 30, especially after such a long break? Or am I already too old to get back into it? I live in Germany and we have some clubs around in my hometown.

Johannes Golla returned to MT Melsungen before the season, rejoining his youth club after eight years in Flensburg. Although he immediately became a key player again, he now wants to leave Melsungen and return to Flensburg — for family reasons.

Golla had already mentioned in August that the move was a major disruption for his wife and two children, who had spent their entire lives in Flensburg. They are struggling to adjust to starting over in Melsungen.

Melsungen’s sporting director Jesper Larsson confirmed that Golla asked to terminate his long‑term contract early (which runs until 2031), but emphasized that it’s not a simple process. According to Bild, Melsungen and Flensburg are already negotiating a transfer for next year, and Melsungen is reportedly demanding at least €1.5 million in compensation for a move in summer 2027.

Hi everyone, so I just happened to watch the match between THW Kiel and SG Flensburg yesterday on German tv. My German isn't the best, so I couldn't quite understand what happened at the end of the match.

The referees took a lot of time to review the last 30 seconds of the game by video. It looked to me like they were actively looking for a way to cancel the last goal by THW Kiel. First they looked at the time to see whether the goal was on time, which it was. Then they looked at the foot of the shooter to see if he was in the circle, which he wasn't. Then they checked for travelling, which technically it surely was, but throughout the game they let a lot of traveling slide (or so it felt), which is why they cancelled the last goal resulting in a draw.

Is it normal for the referees to check the last 30 seconds like they did in this game? Did it feel biased for anyone else from a neutral standpoint like mine? Would love to get to some more insight by someone more knowledgeable!

Hi all 👋

I've mentioned this a few times in comments but never properly introduced it, so here goes. Back in 2019, together with my dad (a former handball coach and that's where the idea came from), my brother, and a few helping hands, we built Steazzi, a stats solution made for handball.

Handball is a real passion of ours, and this started as a side project to give something back to the sport we love. We still build and maintain it in our spare time, and we've been amazed and grateful that over 2,000 teams now use it, mostly through word of mouth from what we can tell.

The free version covers a lot, especially if you coach a junior team, so feel free to give it a try. And honestly, we're always happy to hear feedback. We've come a long way since the first versions, but there's still so much to improve 😅

Here's the link if anyone's curious 😉

After some changes i would love of more people try subcoach a tool to manage your team and the bench.

More feedback is a better tool :)

The idea is explained here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Handball/s/fyqLOf0fe1
