To set this game up you need a gymnastics bench at each side of the half court and two back to back benches (or a large gymnastics box if available) laying flat inside the middle of the area.
In this middle area there should be a white player defending their side of the bench and a blue player defending their side.
The white team tries to score by hitting the ball on the blue's side of the bench and the white side tries to score on the blue's side of the central bench.
After every failed attempt to score the team who made the shot must touch one of the benches on either side of the area.
When catching ensure players:
Reach for the ball with open palms. Make a W with their thumbs and index finger and that after catching the ball move it towards your body to protect it.
Progressions:
No dribbling allowed.
No running allowed.
Pass 5 times before being able to try and score.
Wing players operate in the most demanding shooting position on a handball court, where acute angles and a close goalkeeper make finishing a specialist skill. This article breaks down the technique, decision-making, and training progressions that coaches need to develop elite wing finishing.
The transition from attack to defence is the most vulnerable moment in handball. This article examines the 3-second recovery principle, the specific roles players must adopt during transition, and the training scenarios that build a team's ability to recover defensive shape under pressure.
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.
