Divide the pitch into three areas. Both teams play a 3 v 3 inside the middle third of the pitch.
The blue team are trying to hit the white team's benches and vice versa.
Teams must pass around to get a free chance before trying to score.
Look for quick passing, movement and communication from your players.
Play 5 minute matches. If you have several games going on at the same time you can rotate teams and have a mini-tournament (losing team rotate and moves to the next pitch).
Game variations:
- Play with one or two goal keepers
- No dribbling allowed
- No running allowed
- 5 passes before shooting is allowed
- Use different shots (center shot, jumpshot...)
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.
