To be able to throw and catch a ball is an indispensable part of the team handball game.
If a player is unable to throw and catch a ball with a reasonable security you can forget more advanced aspects as cross, running in and so on as the play will be interrupted because the ball is dropped again and again.

Therefore exercises containing throwing and catching a ball must be included in each training lesson.
At the beginning with a short distance between the players and later on - when the technique gets better - with a greater distance and more movement.

The exercises are not the most popular items in a training lesson and the players tends to be sloppy.
It is therefore important that the players are told that the exercises must be done with great precision.
If they are trained sloppy they will continue to be sloppy.
Trained precise passes and catches are performed precise.
