Two defenders start a few meters apart with a line of attackers in a queue in front of them.
The feeder on the side of the court plays the ball into the path of the strikers who takes their shot within 3 steps of catching the ball.
The two defenders must move together when the ball is passed to try and block the incoming shot.
Blocking
- Forearms close to each other.
- Elbows bent towards each other.
- Look through your forearms so that you can never get hit in the face with the ball.
- Keep enough muscle tension in your arms and fingers so as to avoid injury.
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.
