摘要：Mini-handball is a particular form of handball, along with street-handball and beach-handball. This type of game appeared from the need to lower the age of first contact with handball. As a result, the rules of the game were adapted to the capabilities of children aged between 8 and 10 years. Mini-handball has been successfully implemented, leading to an increase in the number of competitions for this age group. Although at this age the aim is not to achieve sports performance but only to rigorously train the basic technique of the game, the development of a game model is still necessary. This requirement derives from the need to know the training content for this age level. Therefore, when the game model is known, the training can be adapted to the exigencies of the model without wasting precious time with training actions that are not found in the game pattern. From the age of 8 to 10 years, the bilateral game as a means of training gradually increases in importance. Consequently, the training of these children involves participation in more and more games. Initially, the games will be played during Cup competitions with a small number of participating teams (3-4), but towards the end of the time interval, children will participate in festivals with a large number of teams (25-30).
