Possible l guess, not likely. A good sport for people with one arm is soccer.

Actually there has been a one-armed pro handballer, his name was George Quam. He had one of his arms amputated from the shoulder.

From the USHA website:

George was told to forget about handball, because it was strictly a two-handed game. Quam determinedly learned the game & went on to win an exhibition over Baltimore’s George Nelson in 1928, the year after Nelson won the national singles. Herbert Hoover invited Quam to the White House & chatted with him for half an hour.

''I’ve had more fun playing handball than any other activity.handball has been the vehicle by which l won my way out of darkness & despair. l don’t believe that having one hand has been a handicap.everyone is given more natural ability, equipment & talent than we will ever use. Success is not going to be determined by what u have to work with, but how u use what u have.''

George Quam was inducted into the USHA Hall of Fame in 1959.

So if u have the determination u can be a one-handed handballer!!!
