Blue players must dribble up the pitch and around the cone before then turning sharply.
Once they have turned they must then take on the defender with a feint or a dummy before finally throwing a shot at the goal.
When attacking blue players should be thinking about how they are going to open up space to shoot - hiding their true shooting intentions from the defender until the last moment when they dummy, feint or change direction quickly to open the gap.
Variations :
Red 1 defensively blocks all shots or players must pass to Red 1 and back.
Players warm up the goalkeeper by throwing in such a way that the goalkeeper gets the opportunity to block the balls. If players are shooting within arm's reach of the keeper their shots should be:
Into the goalkeeper's hands, to the left/ right hand top corner, left/ right at shoulder height, left/ right hip height, left/ right knee height, left/ right bounce shot, left/ right bottom corners.
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.
