Players move between the two cones while passing the ball to one another.
To move players should side-step, always facing forwards and keeping an eye on the other players.
Running forwards to defend:
Take small, fast steps, never jump, stand diagonally, face towards the ball, arms open, wide and high and knees slightly bent.
Turning:
Leave foot which is closest to the goal on the floor and turn on it to the direction you want to go to, turn until attacker is in front, arms slightly bent forward
Getting back into defence
Small, fast steps, sprint back, don't use side steps.
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.
