It would be great if your defence never lost its shape and your defenders never over committed. In reality though mistakes are made by all levels of players and so as a result you should practice getting your defence to shuffle and shift to get their team-mate's back and fill the space to prevent the opposition's attackers running clean through you back line.
To help prevent your side from leaking necessary goals this session focusses on your defenders, teaching when to go forward and meet the ball and when to hang back, cover the loose man and hold position.
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.
