The 3:2:1 defence is recommended according to the DHB frame concept for the advanced training I (15-16 years). With this form of defense in handball, the defense bond always condenses towards the ball side. It is therefore a ball oriented defense method with intensive footwork.
The goal is to create an over-count situation at the ball location. In the side away from the ball, a deliberate undercount is accepted. This side is then considered a weak point in the 3:2:1 defense.
Among the most important learning goals in the 3:2:1 defense important bases for the interaction in the small group federation attack/defense are trained thereby purposefully. Due to the offensive attacking behavior, the 3:2:1 defense is considered very attractive and motivates the players.
- Postpone
- Transfer and
- Take over
- Create a superior number
Goals
The goal is active defense to win the ball as quickly as possible. In addition to the primary tasks already mentioned, the defenders must
- Position-specific together and work together with the goalkeeper.
- Train tactical and technical elements in individual and collective associations.
- Train through offensive defense skills and abilities.
- Change the defensive position as quickly as possible to adapt to new situations. (for later actions)
- Initiate a fast, offensive attack
- By acting offensively on the attacker, the defender learns motor and technical behaviour.
- Interrupting ball play and ball acceptance
The 10 basic rules of 3:2:1 defense
- The entire defense formation shifts towards the ball side
- Fast kick out against the player with the ball
- Direct side players secure possible ball and space paths
- Running paths of the runner are blocked
- Defensive players in the side away from the ball can be dropped back to visually enlarge the defensive space
- Attempts to lock are prevented by pushing it out.
- Blocking of all routes
- Constantly disrupt the attack in the game setup
- Provoke errors
- Play out counterattacks.
If the ball is in the center of the back area (RM). In the 3:2:1 defense 3 lines of attack are visible. 3 defensive defenders, 2 semi offensive and 1 offensive.
The players always orient themselves on the ball and form a triangle. If the ball is now passed to RR, the player VM moves to the semi-offensive position and the HR takes over the offensive defense. The outer defenders act offensively to intercept possible long passes. Even against a 2:4 defense, the triangular 3:2:1 defense remains in place.
- Never passive, but always active
- Legwork and armwork
- Always keep an eye on your opponents and communicate
