Attackers pass the ball around.
The defender must step forward to the every attacker and then back to the centre again.
Work in this way for 45 seconds, with slow passing to give the defender and chance to meet the attacker and then get back again.
Rotate after every 45 seconds. Each player does this 3 times.
Defending key points:
Keep arms slightly bent and in front of you.
Keep knees bent, with a low center of gravity, ready to quickly change direction!
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.
