Attackers take it in turns to dribble towards the defender and take them on in a 1 vs 1.
Players should use a fake pass or a feint (change of direction) to get past their defender.
Progression:
At first defenders should be lenient and let the attackers get past them with minimal resistance. As players grow in confidence though you can increase the role of the defender.
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.
