The center shot is the mother of all shot techniques. All the basic elements used for a center shot appear in other shot techniques, from putting the right foot forward all the way up to that moment when the ball leaves your hand. It's all in there!
By focusing on this building block technique you can lay the foundations for future development (such as with the jump shot)!
What's in the session?
We begin with a fun warm up game, designed to get players working in small groups and throwing the ball.
Now that everyone's warmed up we look at ways to develop the technique (forearm at 90 degree angle with upper arm) and practice throwing on the move in pairs, before finishing with a fun center shooting on goal practice (letting player shoot with their new and improved center shot!)
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.
