To set this game up you need a gymnastics bench at each side of the half court and two back to back benches (or a large gymnastics box if available) laying flat inside the middle of the area.
In this middle area there should be a white player defending their side of the bench and a blue player defending their side.
The white team tries to score by hitting the ball on the blue's side of the bench and the white side tries to score on the blue's side of the central bench.
After every failed attempt to score the team who made the shot must touch one of the benches on either side of the area.
When catching ensure players:
Reach for the ball with open palms. Make a W with their thumbs and index finger and that after catching the ball move it towards your body to protect it.
Progressions:
No dribbling allowed.
No running allowed.
Pass 5 times before being able to try and score.
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.
