Two teams try to score a goal only by passing the ball to each other (no dribbling).
Just like in rugby (where players score points with a try) players score a point by getting the ball beyond the opponent's back line.
This is a great game for getting players to move around and communicate. Try and encourage teams to talk!
Variations:
Players must make ten passes before going for the try.
Players must use specific passes (jump shot, bounce ball etc.)
The player with the ball can only pass to a player if they have called their name before passing. Failure to do so results in a turnover (team leaves the ball for the other team to pick up and then the game continues).
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.
