In this game players run inside the area and attempt to avoid being caught by the taggers.
Players are safe from being tagged if they are sitting on the floor, with their feet off the ground.
Players are only allowed to stay on the floor for 3 seconds, then they have to get up and run away again.
Tag men are not allowed to wait for the player during these 3 seconds.
By getting players to raise their feet off the floor this should make it harder for players to be caught as simply dropping onto their bums is not enough to avoid being caught.
Variations:
Once caught players either sit out or they become a catcher themselves.
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.
