Cooperation is key in defence - to achieve this you will need your back-court players to communicate and work as a unit, stepping out to prevent the shot while your other defending players move across to fill the gaps and prevent the through ball to the opposition's pivot.
To teach your players how to work as a unit and when (and when not to) step forward this intermediate-level session gets your defenders to practice making decisions as early as possible, shouting "mine" or "I've got" - practising defending against a number of different attacking scenarios.
Don't give the other team an easy shooting opportunity due to bad defending - make the right decisions at the back to pressure the ball and win back possession!
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.
