Almost two years ago, at the 2nd IHF Forum for the Future of Handball in Denmark, IHF experts came up with the idea of an educational platform for the training of coaches, referees, players, teachers and delegates around the world. Now, it is ready – on 5 August 2016 the IHF Education Centre was launched.

 

On the platform, coaches of all performance levels find analysis data on all IHF events. In the Tactics School, current issues related to defensive and offensive tactics are illustrated via educational films, picture series and animations.

 

Referees of all performance levels find the latest IHF rule explanations, training programmes for refereeing, a comprehensive video library as well as interesting online tests including video scenes.

 

Players can watch international top stars show extraordinary individual, technical and tactical skills and learn from their role models.

 

Technical Delegates find comprehensive information they can make use of before, during and after a match. All the action going on in the course of a game is processed in interesting case studies by means of videos and diagrams.

 

For teachers, the IHF Education Centre offers comprehensive methodological assistance and practical programmes, helping them to teach children and young people handball at school.

 

In the beach handball section, players, coaches, referees and delegates also find practical information, animations and videos related to rules, techniques, defensive and offensive tactics and training methods – a great opportunity to gain an insight into the outdoor version of handball.

 

The Coaches Library is a collection of international best practice, containing practical training programmes and methodological collections of exercises for basic, advanced and top training.

 

Modern e-learning modules are part of the IHF Education Centre as well. In regular online seminars, IHF experts present current issues related to training, tactics, refereeing, education and event organisation.
