Player 1 passes left to player 6 (in the goal area) and then runs out to receive the return pass. After receiving the ball player 1 must feint their way past the static defender (player 2) onto their throwing side (right handers - right side).
Once they have got round the defender they pass to the next player in line who repeats this drill (passing left to player 5).
Right handers should make a 0-step landing (catching the ball when still in the air and then stepping around the defender to pass on their strong side (right side for right handers).
Pass over at the side of your throwing arm (right hander)
- catch the ball in the air
- land on both feet at the same time (feet should shoulder width apart) and knees slightly bent
- stay away arm length from your defender and keep still for a very short moment to 'fix' your defender
- 1st step : small one to the left to feint (dummy) that you want to pass over at that side
- 2nd step : should be a fast, aggressive one with your right foot, along side the defender
choose your own continuation (pass or shoot)
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.
