Players stand in four lines along the half way line. A player on both side starts with the ball in hand.
The attackers play give-and-go as they progress up the court and pass around the defender.
The move finished with attacker 1 (the player who started with the ball) throwing at the goal.
Defenders should stay in their hoops at all times (they are still allowed to intercept poorly thrown passes).
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.
