THE STRATEGY OF TRAINING THE CHILDREN IN STAGE I - HANDBALL.

Achieving world-class performance requires a lengthy preparation period of about 11-12 years. Kunst-Ghermănescu shows that the age of the first contact with handball for children is around 10 years old. In this paper, we do not want to argue him, but we want to adapt the preparation in handball to the conditions of today's society. Therefore, we believe that the age of 10 is relatively late for the first contact with handball. Nowadays society has produced important changes in children's behavior, they becoming increasingly more sedentary. Children, even at a young age, no longer leave the house to play outdoors and they spend their time at home in front of the TV or computer. As a result, skills considered of the childhood (running, jumping, climbing, throwing, etc.) cannot be found in the motor baggage of the children. In addition, the age of 10 is beyond the age at which we can arise easily and successfully the speed and coordination abilities. So, we believe that the age of 6-7 years is the ideal age for the first contact with handball. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
