Attacker 2 dribbles towards the goal and the blue defender runs out to pressure him.
The attacker then plays the pass around the defender to their partner in the center, before then making a speedy movement to get past defender 2.
The attacker then receives the return pass and throws at the goal.
Although the defender knows what is going to happen they should not intercept the pass, but only put pressure on the attacking players.
The first attacker must use a sharp change of speed and direction to make space to receive the return pass.
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.
