I want to introduce my class of 7 year olds to handball what are the best drills and ball skills to start with?
Young players are still very `selfish` and they like being busy with a ball. Playing as a team is almost impossible, so concentrate on individual games with a ball: dribbling, throwing at targets, etc.
Als running, falling, simple coordination plays are welcome.
Keep it playful and individual.
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.
