This study aimed to develop and validate an instrument of observation of the offensive process within the handball context. Was used 3 EHF CL games as a basis to determine the macrocategories to be analysed and then a questionnaire was applied to qualified coaches in handball, about the variables in relation to the fundamental functions of the offensive game process. The analysed variables should contain more than 65% positive responses by the coaches to be representative. As a result of the investigation, handball coaches considered the following macrocategories, referring to the following indicators: 1) Offensive actions: Positional Attack, Fast Attack and Counterattack; 2) Shooting indicators: 9 meters, between 9 and 6 meters, 6 meters and 7 meters; 3) Collective actions: Type - I, Type - II, Type - III and 4) Field zones. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that the observation system covers all fundamental aspects of the game and as such can be used for the collection and process the information for a long-term analysis of the different variables of the offensive process in the handball game.
