Two teams try to score a goal only by passing the ball to each other (no dribbling).
Just like in rugby (where players score points with a try) players score a point by getting the ball beyond the opponent's back line.
This is a great game for getting players to move around and communicate. Try and encourage teams to talk!
Variations:
Players must make ten passes before going for the try.
Players must use specific passes (jump shot, bounce ball etc.)
The player with the ball can only pass to a player if they have called their name before passing. Failure to do so results in a turnover (team leaves the ball for the other team to pick up and then the game continues).
Wing players operate in the most demanding shooting position on a handball court, where acute angles and a close goalkeeper make finishing a specialist skill. This article breaks down the technique, decision-making, and training progressions that coaches need to develop elite wing finishing.
The transition from attack to defence is the most vulnerable moment in handball. This article examines the 3-second recovery principle, the specific roles players must adopt during transition, and the training scenarios that build a team's ability to recover defensive shape under pressure.
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.
