Players work in groups of three (blue players), passing and moving the ball to try and create space for a pass into the pivot (white player).
Meanwhile the defender (red) is doing their best to mark the pivot and prevent the space opening up for a pass to the pivot player for a shot on goal!
This drill is live and all players should be working at match pace, using accurate and fast passes to open up space for the shot.
If the ball is dropped or cut out by the defender the drill is dead and the next group of players start.
Rotate pivot and defending players regularly.
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.
