All players stand in a big circle except for the tagger. The coach appoints one player as the 'chosen one'.
The tagger must not listen or look whilst the coach is selecting the chosen player.
Once the player has been selected by the coach the tagger starts hunting for the chosen player.
When the tagger positions themselves in front of the chosen player the player must run away - around the outside of the circle of players.
From this point the tagger has up to 45 seconds to catch the player.
Increase the overall size of the circle to make the drill more difficult and decrease it in size to add to the difficulty.
Handball demands explosive power, repeated sprint ability, and the strength to compete physically for 60 minutes. Sport-specific conditioning develops the athletic qualities that underpin elite performance.
Handball matches are won and lost in critical moments. Mental toughness determines who executes under pressure, who recovers from setbacks, and who maintains concentration throughout 60 intense minutes.
Deception is the great equaliser in handball. Smaller, less powerful players can beat defenders through feints and misdirection. Mastering these skills creates breakthrough opportunities against even the most organised defences.
