Before the game starts both teams number themselves from 1 - 5 (or more dependant on number of players).
The team in possession must then pass the ball around in a numeric order whilst trying not to lose possession
The team in possession scores a point when all players on their team have had the ball once.
Meanwhile the other team tries to intercept the ball.
To being with players can only mark their opposite number but once players are a little more warmed up open up the game so that players are free to do what they want (as long as they continue to pass in numerical order).
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.
