Try to ensure that the two players are approximately the same height and weight to avoid injury and keep the wrestling interesting for both players.
Players should sit back to back with one another and interlock their arms. Using their body and arms they must try and get the other player's shoulder onto the floor.
The losing has to run to the far wall and back and the winner receives a ball to have a free shot on goal.
Although you want your players to be physical you do not want them hurting each other; make sure your players don't get too competitive in this drill.
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.
