Handball is a team sport played by two male or female teams and is played with your hands. The objective of the game is to score goals and avoid giving goals away. The team that scores the most goals in a given period of time wins the match. The game is played at a very high speed and body contact is permitted.

➢ A player can take only three steps after catching the ball, if a player dribbles, they may only take another three steps. ➢ Only the goalkeeper can enter the goal area no one else. ➢ A free throw is awarded for playing the ball illegally.

History. One of the oldest of ball games, handball has been traced back to the baths of Rome. Played later as a bare-handed game called pelota in Spain and France, it was the forerunner of modern jai alai. Handball was adapted in the British Isles during the 16th century and called fives (q.v.).

The biggest winner is Russia with four titles….IHF World Women’s Handball Championship.

Handball is the second fastest game in the world after ice hockey. It is basically a mixture of football and basketball. There are 2 teams, each one with seven players.

Let’s take a look at the records that exist for the objects used to play some of the fastest sports in the world:

• Badminton – 493 km/h.
• Golf – 339.6 km/h.
• Jai Alai – 302 km/h.
• Squash – 281.6 km/h.
• Tennis – 263.4 km/h.

Medium speed of the throw in handball players is not influenced by the duration of the match. There are no differences in the medium speed of throws between those that become a goal and those that do not. The medium-speed range for elite handball fluctuates between 22 and 23 m/sec-1.

throwing with a heavy ball will train you to produce more force but it takes you longer to complete a throw and when you throw a regular ball you will not have time to produce all that extra force.

Take a Jumpshot in Team Handball

1. Start with two hands on the ball in a ready position. Knees slightly bent facing the target.
2. Step forward with foot opposite of your shooting hand.
3. Jump in the air while raising shooting arm up and back to make an L, or a 90 degree angle.
4. Pike slightly at the waist and land on takeoff foot.

Like most team sports, the team has very clear roles to support their overall success: The goalkeeper – responsible for defending the goal. Left wing – this attacking player is usually right-handed and covers the left-hand side of the court.

I have always felt that handball plays most similar to basketball.” Involving running, dribbling, jumping, throwing and catching, team handball does seem like a blend of many other sports. There are six players and a goalie on each team, and the game is played on a court slightly larger than those used for basketball.
