What is Handball?
Handball is a game between 2, 3, or 4 players where a ball is struck with either hand against a wall, and alternating players/pairs are required to make contact with the ball prior to a second bounce. This is not the Olympic game of team handball. It is similar to racquetball, 토토 though substantially more difficult and strenuous. Handball is played on a court with either 1, 3, or 4 walls, and with a variety of balls. Each version of the game is similar in that the ball must hit the front wall in the air once it is struck by a player's hand. Handball is a game you can play for a lifetime, doesn't require much equipment, and is played at all skill and age levels. Handball players are a diverse fraternity of men, women, and children who share a passion for what we consider the “perfect game.” It is one of the best overall workouts for the body, and requires the development of dexterity on both sides of the body. Unlike racquetball or tennis, there is no backhand – players strike the ball with their dominant hand as well as their non-dominant hand! Rules of Handball A match consists of two periods of 30 minutes each. Each team consists of 7 players; a goalkeeper and 6 outfield players. Outfield players can touch the ball with any part of their body that is above the knee. Once a player receives possession, they can pass, hold possession or shoot. If a player holds possession, they can dribble or take three steps for up to three seconds without dribbling. Only the goalkeeper is allowed to come into contact with the floor of the goal area. Goalkeepers are allowed out of the goal area but must not retain possession if they are outside the goal area. History American handball dates back to 1873, and until the early 1900s four-wall handball was very well established. One-wall handball became popular in 1930s around beaches of New York. It is a very different sport to European (team) Handball. The game was codified at the end of the 19th century in Denmark. The modern set of rules was published on 29 October 1917 in Berlin, which is seen as the date of birth of the sport, and had several revisions since. The first official handball match was played in the same year in Germany.
