Blue 1 feeds the ball in front of blue 2 who then duels with their opposite number before passing the ball across the pitch to the next attacking player.
The final player lays the ball off to the lone player, once all the balls are with this player the drill restarts in the opposite direction.
Defenders should look to create player sandwiches, positioning themselves between the goal and the attacker before making defensive contact.
At first defenders should only make moderate contact but as the drill goes on you can increase the role of the defender so that by the end they are allowed to tackle the attacker if they are able to do so.
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.
