4 attacking players against 4 defenders - with the attackers trying to score a goal.
The attackers start on either wing and take it in turn to run forward and try to get past their opposite number.
If they are unable to get past their marker the players should pass the ball across the line to a fellow attacker.
The aim for the attackers is not only to get past their player but also to draw the other defenders out of position as they come across to cover the space - potentially creating an opening for the next attacker to run into and shoot from.
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.
