Players start with a ball each on the side of the court. Four other players stand across the width in a zig-zag formation without a ball each.
On the coach's whistle players dribble to each player in turn and pass to each player. After passing the ball they run around the back and then receive the return pass.
Players continue like this until they reach the final cone. Dribble around the outside of the court and back to the start cone.
Progression:
Play this drill length ways down the court and have players shoot on goal immediately after receiving the final pass.
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.
