Players stand approximately 10 metres apart from one another in a 3:3 attacking formation and pass the ball between themselves using a variety of passes.
The aim is to move the ball around quickly and accurately catching using one and two hands to receive the ball.
Pass types:
Push pass, Bounce pass, Using both hands, Using the wrong hand, Roll the ball, Center Shot (faking a shot on goal before passing the ball) and a jump shot (3,2,1 step rythym, varying whether they jump off their strong or weak foot).
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.
