This drill practises the pivot rolling off the defender for a quick shot on goal.
The coach/feeder (blue 2) passes to blue 1 who runs to meet the pass and then pushes/rolls off the defender (white 1) to find space for the shot on goal.
Repeat for a series of 6 shots.
Pivot:
Don't make life easy for the defender! Be strong, hold your ground and most importantly, don't stop moving.
Defender:
Start by being passive and allowing the attacking players to roll off them
Next stage: half active (attacker is still successful).
Lastly, defender fully active.
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.
