350176 UE Target-Throwing Games: Didactic Concepts (2016W)

The first third of the course is dedicated to the application of general ball-playing skills with special regard to specific components of the target game of HANDBALL. The broad three-level master concept (Level 1 "Me and the Ball"; Level 2 "With Each Other"; Level 3 "Against Each Other") is based on an action-oriented instructional model using sport-game didactics. Beside the acquisition and practice of technical fundamentals and coordinative abilities, it contributes to the development of tactical playing modes at the individual, group and team levels in playing and drill sessions held under changing situational conditions.

The remaining two-thirds are dedicated to teaching special playing skills in the target game of HANDBALL, i.e. HANDBALL basics, including technique and coordination (bouncing, passing, catching, passing variants, movement techniques, overarm shot, jump shot, falling jump shot, run-up, body feints, breakthrough, defence techniques, blocking, goalkeeper defence) as well as tactical skills (2:1 situation, passing the ball in motion, running towards the goal intending to take a shot, making space, running loose, marking, man-marking, space-marking).

At the same time, awareness and knowledge of rules are taught as well as general guidelines for educational game teaching. Beach Handball as well as Street Handball are presented in theory and practice as alternative outdoor variants, trend sports and "Handball4all" activities with a structure and philosophy differing from traditional handball.
