The blue attacking player plays a one-two with the central player.
They then run forward to meet the pass.
The defender must be aware of when the pass is coming and be poised, ready to pounce, to snatch away and intercept the pass.
According to the rules of the game you are allowed to touch your opponent so in some cases both players should be prepared for contact.
Try to grab the ball with the hand which is closest to the ball.
If you can't grab the ball then try to push it out of your opponent's hand(s) with a short, fast wrist movement.
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.
