Set up your players up in three equal lines. Only the player at the start of line 1 has a ball.
Blue 1 starts the drill with a pass to blue 2 who runs onto the ball and tries to break past the two defenders. If they are unable to find space for the shot they must pass to player 3 who repeats the process.
Drill continues in this way (blue1 - blue2 - blue3 - blue1...)until an opening for the shot has been created.
Every player joins the back of the next line after passing the ball.
The two defenders will need to be communicating and moving quickly to ensure they can keep on the continuous 3v2.
Not only is this good practice for your defenders but it is also excellent practice for your attackers, teaching them to make the right decisions if a defender behaves in certain ways.
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.
