This work presents a methodological proposal for teaching and learning the specific skills of handball that can guarantee a greater possibility of enjoyment and participation for players. This requirement arises from my work as a teacher in higher education, where I was able to see the need for changes in the methodologies applied to teaching the specific motor skills of handball, as I realised that the rigour of teaching technique, in a traditional way, did not reach the students' understanding of the practice and theory of the specific skills in an enjoyable way. The development of handball teaching, according to the proposition we advocate, contains three distinct but interconnected moments: playful, referential and technical.
