One player dribbles and one player moves backward at a 2 mtr distance. The attackers tries to tag the defender. The trainer whistles just before the attacker touches the defender. The player in possession of the ball dribbles to the goal. The other player, the defender, tries to prevent a goalshot.
Attackers should move very quickly and try to protect their dribbling ball.
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.
