In this section we are going to talk about everything related to beach handball goalkeeping. It is a totally open section, under construction, as my knowledge is much more limited than on the court.
To begin with, a note that I think is relevant and that we often forget: what do you think of the following sequence?
-
-
- Goalkeeper tries to stop the ball
- Goalkeeper recovers the ball
- Goalkeeper puts the ball back into play (options in order of priority)
- Direct throw-in to goal
- Long fast-break pass
- Short pass
-
Why do I point this out? Because we are often obfuscating the goalkeeper’s running but we are not giving him directions for the goalkeeper to save the ball. We must be careful not to neglect this facet, which is still very important in this sport.
I’m going to divide the tactical work into offensive and defensive work, rather than individual and collective, as I find it more graphic to group the tasks in this way.
