Handball: defending and marking

Move: raising your arms as an opponent releases the ball, increases chances of blocking the ball and gaining possession. Move: firm body position with a wide stance is crucial for effectively screening an opponent to control their movement. Think: using your torso to block a player will not impede the obstruction rule but holding or pulling is prohibited. Feel: using your body to control your opposition’s movement takes confidence and assertiveness. Connect: coordinating with teammates to ensure they recognise the screen helps to exploit the space successfully.
