Players run around the area, changing direction regularly.
One player is the flight controller and tags players who must run to the landing area between the cones.
Once safely in touching distance of the crash mat players should dive and land on the mat.
After 'landing' they then take off again.
For the purpose of improving players' diving technique you could get players to:
Practice throwing a dummy shot on goal (with no ball)
and throwing on goal as they dive (to really get players thinking about how they should land after shooting at goal from a diving shot).
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.
