Attackers dribble in the direction of the goal and start to perform a jump shot when they reach the 8 meter line and then throw at the goal.
The defender should try and block the shot by positioning themselves between the attacker and the goal.
This drill not only tests the attacker's accuracy and ability to shoot under pressure but also the defender's ability to shuffle, block and shield - having to read the attacker's movement and try to prevent them from getting a clear shot on goal.
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.
