Pass from A to B, from B to C, from C to B back again and B throws at the goal.
When B shoots that is the signal for defender D to go for the fast break.
C turns around and sprints back to intercept the long pass.
Goalkeeper throws long pass every time the same way and trains in this way C to go for the interception.
Variations:
- goalshot into the goal and goalkeeper has to pick up the ball first and throw the long pass.
First train the interception only and add then more matchlike items, such as real goalshot.
To get to the right timing and train the interception of the long pass every time:
- have B throw into the hands of the goalkeeper
- have another goalkeeper/player/trainer to throw the long pass
- have another goalkeeper next to the goal to hand the goalkeeper another ball
A goes into the position of D and D returns after his fast break.
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.
