Players A and B start at the same time. Player A dribbles with his right hand and player B with his left hand.
After meeting in the circle, they attack opposite goals. They increase speed after leaving the circle and protect their ball when getting between the two defenders (whose area is only the hoop) and shoot with a center shot or jump shot at the goal. They change positions after the shot.
Variations:
1. In the circle they shake hands.
2. In the circle they do a high five.
3. In the circle they hook in their elbows and make a full turn.
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.
