Coaching Points:
Recieving - Have hands in a 'W' shape, which will allow students to get hands on both sides of the ball. Hands should be at chest level. Eyes must always be watching the ball when it is travelling.
Passing - Grip the ball using the 'W' shape. Have the ball at chest height and push it all the way through so arms are fully extended. Having the arms fully extended will act as the aim for where players what the ball to finish. The ball should be travelling to the opposite players chest.
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.
