Handball Warm up Game-
2 Teams
Full Court
Players cannot dribble the ball
Can only take 3 steps with the ball and then it has to be passed
The ball can be passed in any direction
To score the ball must be thrown to a member of your team and they must header the ball into the goal.
One of the defensive players can stand in goal but mustn't use their hands to stop the ball going in the goal, if the ball isn't going in the goal they can then catch the ball and play on.
Whilst in play, players may also be asked to perform stretches throughout e.g. dynamic lunges, squat jumps, arm rotations etc.
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.
