Playing across a half-court each team has to try and score on the opposition's mat.
Instead of scoring in a goal players must place the ball on the opposition's mat - if the ball rolls off then the point is void!
Players are free to move anywhere within the half-court area and normal rules apply apart for scoring a goal.
Players should look for fast breaks and smart passing to create the opportunity for players to place the ball on the opposition's mat.
Progression:
Each team has two mat to defend and two to score on.
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.
