Top Drill
Attackers vs defenders, using man to man marking strategy.
Bottom Drill
Attackers vs defenders using zonal marking strategy. "Zonal marking is when we defend the different zones around the semi-circle".
Middle Drill
Cones are set out across the middle of the court. Between each cone is a defender. To start off with attackers must try and get through the sets of cones to the other side without being tagged two handed by the defenders. To progress the drill give the attackers a ball and they must try and dribble the ball through the cones. If the attacker stops dribbling and catches the ball, they are out.
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.
