Two defenders in between to cones with one pivot and one attacker. The attacker bounces the ball around and then all of a sudden attacks one of the defenders. The player either tries to break through or lay off the ball to the pivot.
Defenders are supposed to constantly talk to each other. The one that is attacked steps out to cover the attacker and the other moves to cover the pass to the pivot. Only works with good communication.
Make sure the positioning of the defenders is correct before the attack. Again the aim is to push the attacker outside the cones.
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.
