Blue player 1 is the feeder in this drill and throws the ball to the players attempting to penetrate the defence.
Blue players 2, on both sides of the court, take it in turns to run towards the defenders and try to find a gap through which they can run and make a shot on goal.
If the attacker is shut out by the two defenders they can throw a one-two pass to blue player 3 and move into space to have one more attempt at breaking through.
After 4 attempts each the attacking players rotate clockwise.
Defenders:
Keep arms in front of you and slightly bent.
Prevent attackers from coming between your arms and move laterally with the attacker, always staying between the goal and the attacker.
Feet movement is very important - never jump, keep close contact with the floor and take small short steps so that you can quickly change direction and block off the attacker.
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.
