Set up 3 cones along the width of the pitch on both sides. Player have a ball each.
Players must dribble up to, and then feint past each cone. Along the first side players feint to the left and then go right.
Along the next line players must feint to the right and then drive to the right.
Although this is a drill and the opposition is only a cone players should move dynamically - using a clear change of pace and direction when they change direction.
Feinting tips:
Keep still for a very short moment before starting the feint to 'fix' your defender (or cone).
Progression:
Set up a goal at the end of each set of cones for players to shoot into before they join the back of the next line and repeat in the opposite direction.
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.
