Split your group in half and line them up behind two different cones on the sideline.
On the coach's call players from both line run one at a time around the cone and back. Once they're back the next player can go.
However, to make things hard for them there are two players on the cone on the opposite side of the court who are trying to block the running players. Which group will finish first?
Defending in a personal duel:
- Arms are slightly bent
- Arms in front of you
- Prevent attackers to come into between your arms
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.
