White players must try to hit the last player of the 'dragon' (the four blue players in the middle are the dragon).
Players in the dragon hold each other's hips or shoulders and try to avoid the ball.
In order to hit the back of the dragon the white players must pass the ball quickly around the circle. The ball is not allowed to travel further than one player at a time.
Are they catching the ball correctly?
Reach for the ball, arms half stretched out, make a W with your thumbs almost touching each other.
Catch the ball and move it towards your body.
1. Ball can go into any direction and may be passed to anyone in the circle.
2. One or two defenders can be added to disturb ball ways.
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.
