Setup:
Two teams and two mats.
Objective:
Two teams play against each other. The team in possession of the ball tries to press the ball onto the opponent's mat. Players are not allowed to run with the ball or dribble. Play according to handball rules regarding physical contact with opponents.
To make it harder:
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.
