On the coach's call an attacker and a defender both set off and run around the cone.
The defender is trying to get around the cone quicker than the attacker so that they can get in front of them and hinder their shot (no tackling).
Once around the cone the attacker should aim to get a jump shot off on goal.
Variations:
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.
