The first player waiting in line passes to the first player on the cone and immediately follows their pass and runs behind that player to receive the return pass.
Once they have the ball in hand again they pass the ball to the next player and drive behind them to loop in front of them and receive the ball again.
Once the player reaches the end of the course they dribble the ball to the corner and then sprint around the court back to the end of the line with the ball in hand.
Next player goes when first pass is complete.
Progression:
Make players use a different type of pass for every player they pass to whilst running around the course.
Next player goes when first pass is complete.
At the end of the drill, defenders can be added at certain positions to additionally train 1:1 duels as a repetition.
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.
