The group is divided into two teams. Each team has a goal, and they meet in the middle of the field in a crab position (on hands and feet with the belly facing up). The objective is for the teams to move in this position the entire time and score a goal by getting the ball into the opponent's goal. The ball cannot be touched with the hands. If the ball goes outside the playing area, the referee will throw it back in.
Variations:
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.
