‘Handball as an interactive sport’

“Do you require the same skills to practice an individual sport and a team sport? What are the most appropriate teaching-learning methods in handball?
 
In the practical application, we will use a contextual method based on: using modified games, starting from tactics to learn the technique, establishing preferential relationships between gaming organisations, with group tactics and individual tactics that offer greater transfer.
 
Thus, we will indicate the guidelines and examples to propose an evolution in the teaching-learning process, from the novice to the intermediate stages.”
