Player 1 acts as the feeder in this drill.
Taking it in turns one attacking player from each side receives the pass and then runs on to try and get past the defender stood near the 7 meter line. If they get past the attacker should try and score a goal.
Once they have had a shot players rotate - so the attacker becomes the defender and the defender joins the back of the attacking line.
To start with the defenders should be passive and allow the attackers to get through, as the drill progresses though gradually allow the defenders to become more active.
Attackers should make use of quick changes of direction, pace and feints to create shooting space.
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.
