Green and white palyers dribble through the sectors of the blue defenders. Every attacker has to be guarded and guided by a blue defender.
Defenders give over the dribbling attackers
- real defending is allowed : stealing balls from attackers : defender gets ball and becomes an attacker and attackers becomes defender.
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.
