Players will be split into groups of three, each player lying down parallel to each other. The player in the middle will have the ball and be passing it back and forward to the other two players (like a Russian twist). When the whistle is blown, the players must get up to their feet. The player with the ball on their side must defend the ball, like a ruck, and the opposite player must attempt to clear out the ruck and get over the ball, either forcing the penalty or turning over the ball. A few groups of three will be space out around the pitch to ensure everyone takes turns. The person in the middle will be rotated each turn.
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.
