Players take it in turns to dribble out to their cone and then shoot at goal.
They must shoot in such a way that it is possible for the keeper to block the ball.
Shot positioning:
Throw to the goalkeeper's hands, left/right hand top corner, left/right shoulder height, left/right hip height, left/right knee height, left/right bounce shot, left/right bottom corners.
Progression:
Vary shooting style, the coach can shout how they want the shot be played whilst the player is dribbling towards their cone (jump shot, bounce shot, power shot, 3 step shot...).
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.
