Playing inside half a court with a large mat in the center players try to press the ball onto the mat in order to score a point for their team.
After scoring the ball must be played to a player on the opposite team on the side line and then start the attack again ( quick throw off imitation).
Rules:
Players may not pass over the mat, they must pass around (as shown in the diagram).
Variations :
After scoring team keeps possession.
Play without dribbling.
Allow players to pass the ball over the mat.
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.
