One defender stands in the middle in between the goal area and the center line.
Their aim is to stop as many players as they can from dribbling from the goal area to the half way line but they can only tackle people as they run through the two cones.
Once a player is tackled they then also become a defender.
To make this drill easier/ harder reduce/ increase the distance between the two cones.
Progression:
Players can only dribble with their left hand/ right hand/ alternating hands.
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.
