Blue players should run towards the defender. When they get close they should jump and stop (taking no steps to do so) and then position themselves for a throw on goal.
The defender's job is to stand their ground, read the attacker's movement and be ready to knock the ball away.
Attackers can use a feint to try and fool the defender.

Work from this non-shooting drill to a 1 vs 1 goal scoring exercise.
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.
