1st exercise:
with the ball in their hands 2x running forwards on the right side up to the 3rd cone, go around, run backwards to the 2nd cone, go around, run up to the 4th cone, go around, back to the 3rd, go around, up to the 5th, go around, back to the 4th, go around and sprint 5meters after the last cone. walk back recovery.
2x same drill, but on the left side.
team relay: same exercise, except that after running up to the 5th cone players run all the way backwards to the start line. Once they cross the start line, the next player of the team does the exercise. teams are competing against each other the same time.
2, same exercise, but have another player at the last cone (B). From the other end pass the ball to B, run up to the 3rd coin and receive a pass from B. go around the cone, run backwards to second cone, go around, pass to B,run up to cone 4,receive pass etc..
try to lift the gaze rather than looking at feet.
can do it without ball, or with dribbling.
modify the exercise to the player's ability
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.
