Shooting to win

In order to win a game you have to shoot well enough to get past the opponent’s goalkeeper, a great drill to use is the zig-zag shot, this consists of 2 lines of players at the halfway line and 2 players from each line will run towards the goal and the player with the ball will pass the ball to the player on the other side of the court at a diagonal angle, the next player will pass it along the line of players until it reaches the player at the front who will then take the shot on goal. The pattern of passes made is a zig-zag like pattern and the constant change of direction of the ball will make it hard for players on the opposing side to intercept the passes and makes for and easy shot on goal.

Efficient passing

Passing is at its core the game’s most interesting aspect as the ball is very small and can be thrown very fast in any direction the player wants, this style of play comes with very creative passes and that’s why the crowd loves to watch handball. A simple drill is to have multiple players in a circle and have an attacker in the middle, the attacker will have to chase down the player with the ball or intercept the pass they make, the players making the passes cannot move but they can choose what type of pass to make, do they make a fast pass, lob pass, behind the back pass; oftentimes drills like these can create very imaginative yet innovative passes that will catch out the opposing team when they least expect it.

Improving fitness

Being able to spring and run up and down the court for an entire game without slowing down is tough, having a high endurance and outlasting your opponent's fitness is an easy way to create goal scoring opportunities, especially during the closing stages of the match. A great handball drill to improve fitness is often referred to as the eye drill, have 5 comes placed out in a circle and 1 cone in the middle creating the shape of an eye. Have the player in the middle run to a cone and back to the center and repeat for all other cones, see if you can last 5 minutes. Some great variations of this training drill is to add players to each of the six comes and they can act as feeders who pass the ball to the player who runs to the cone and they have to pass back, this type of handball drill can also train multiple players at one time.
