Elaboration of the Mini-handball Training Model

Abstract

Handball is a sport discipline with a continuous development. As a result, besides other forms of practice (beach-handball and street-handball), a new form of handball appeared adapted to the peculiarities of children aged 6 to 10 years, called mini-handball. In recent years this form of handball took a great swing, currently many competitions being organized at this level.
Developing a training model for this age group is a must, because at this age we cannot talk about classic handball. Because in the literature there are very few works that address this issue, the purpose of this study is to develop a training model adapted to ages 6-10 years. The training model presented will contain the number of training hours required during the four years of training, these hours being broken down by the training factors. It will also include the scheduling of technical elements, tactical actions and the main directions for developing the motor skills. All the data contained in this model are taken from practice with children of these ages after a four-year training cycle.
