Pairs stand opposite each other, and one moves backwards holding a ball behind their back. The other player moves forward.
The player moving backwards suddenly shows the ball to the other player who reacts quickly to touch the ball.
Players should be shown the ball six times on each run, and the drill should be done up and down four times.
Move forwards and backwards with small steps and react as quickly as possible. Show the ball at various heights on both the left and right side.
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.
