Players starting on the half-way line dribble down the wings and must use a change of pace and direction (whilst still running down the wings) to beat their man and try to get a shot on goal.
If there is no clear shooting opportunity by the time they've reached the baseline players run with the ball to the back of the opposite line.
This exercise is beneficial to both attackers and defenders.
Attackers need to try and create space whilst defenders are working hard to shadow and shield.
To begin with defenders should be passive and allow the attackers to get into space for a shot on goal but after a few repetitions gradually increase their role until they are fully active.
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.
