Players in possession move forward and play the ball to their partner alongside, who is moving forward as well.
At a signal of the coach the player in possession passes the ball diagonally to the player of the group opposite.
After the pass, players move backwards to their own queue again.
The pass should be given in a backward direction and should be caught always in forward motion.
At the signal of the coach, all players should be aware of the fact that they have to pass into another direction or that they could catch the pass of a player opposite.
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.
