Greetings from Romania, the Women is handball WCh runners up. l hope it is the last time l have to say the following:
1) Handball is an Olympic sport with a huge tradition.
2) Its Federation nunbers 160 countries. About 20 r the big handball nations.
3) ! & all its services r meant for a worldwide, not for an American audience
4) Most people in the world live outside the US
5) The best part of the world is outside the US
6) Americans should start to develop interest in what is happening outside their borders & have utmost respect for other countries &cultures before they can claim respect for their country & values.
7) l will agree to the deletion of this topic if u Americans go first & delete all that MLB, NBA, NFL, NCAA & stuff which is of no interest to the rest of us

If you do not understand this game,it does not mean people do not like it

l do..

really l dont know handball hah dodgeball is more popular cricket
badminton what is handball???

l was thinking the same thing lol WHO THE HELL PLAYS HANDBALL

l am just amused that this has more questions than the CFL.

Convicts in prison play handball, but then again, they do not have access to the internet..

Since this is an Olympic sport and has no real following in the US it could be put into the Olympic forum.

HAHAHAHAHAHA l was SO thinking that

When most people think of the sport of team handball, they automatically think about the sport played inside an enclosed gym area with a small ball & a wall to aim for.

But that is not team handball at all. As a matter of fact, team handball is one of the more popular sports in the entire world, but still struggles to find the same popularity that it has garnered elsewhere in the United States.

A sport originally started as an outdoor game in the early 1900s of central Europe, team handball combines the elements of soccer & basketball on a fast-paced course.

Owen McFadden is the director of recreational sports at Furman University. Of the 22 years he has held the position McFadden has coached & played the sport of team handball since 1997.

McFadden said that the evolution of the sport of team handball has the best possible chance of gaining interest if more people knew about the equipment used to play the game.

The ball & the goal is pretty much the only equipment that u will need,'' said McFadden. ''The goal is about eight feet wide, or 2 meters by 3 meters. And the ball, in my opinion, is similar to that of a basketball.''

The simplicity of the equipment needed to play team handball is one of the reasons why team handball experts say that this is a sport best suited for young kids.

As we all know, a sport that interests a kid today may not interest the kid tomorrow. So, with the sport of team handball, parents & coaches alike should be able to save a bundle of money by not having to provide athletes with hoards & hoards of expensive equipment.

According to McFadden, the clothing worn in a team handball game can be as simple as a pair of shorts & a shirt. There is no special team handball footwear that a beginner would be forced to buy.

They do make a special handball shoe but only those at the international level typically wear them. These special shoes r not even widely available in the United States.

The ball used in team handball is what separates this sport from others. Not exactly a soccer ball or a basketball, a team handball ball is soft & capable of being dribbled & passed with ease.

''Although the design of it is like a soccer ball, it is not that hard,'' said McFadden. ''The goalkeeper might find the ball really hard because they do not wear any padding. And, unlike soccer, it is a very high scoring game. Typically, at the international level, u will be looking at teams scoring 20-30 goals in a competitive match.''

The hardest & most difficult equipment needed to play team handball is a handball field. A team handball game is played on a field 40 meters long & 20 meters wide. There must be a dividing line in the middle of the field & goals on both sides of the playing field.

Games can include seven or 11 players, but r not official. The game could be played with as many people as u would like.
