Handball: 2 Matball

This is the best handball site I have visited.

Joelma

DESCRIPTION

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:

Use a smaller ball.
Wrestling: anything is allowed to prevent opponents from pressing the ball onto the mat.
All passes must bounce off the ground.
Before the ball can be pressed onto the mat, it must first be passed to a predesignated king/queen.
The ball can only be played with the non-dominant hand.
Set a time limit, e.g., scoring must happen within 10 seconds.
Play with two balls simultaneously.
You can score on both mats.
After scoring, the team retains possession of the ball and may attempt to score on the other mat.
