Well l can tell u about team handball- Played by Men & Women. Summer Olympic Sport 1972 (men) 1976 (women).

Handball ( or ''team handball'') is a fast paced game involving 2 teams of 7 players who pass, throw, catch & dribble a small ball with their hands while trying to score goals. The team with the most goals wins the game. A game consists of two- 30 minute halves with a 10- minute halftime break.

The game was invented around the late 1800 is & started in Sweden, Denmark, & Germany. The reason why u have not heard much about this sport is because it is a big sport in most of EUROPE, North Africa, & South Korea.

The USA does have a handball team , but we r awful last time we qualified was Atlanta only because of a rule that gives the host nation a spot for each sport. Some colleges even have team handball as a club sport. Read this ESPN story of one women trying to make the team.

If u go to Iceland, Germany, Poland, Denmark, France, Hungary,Croatia, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Slovenia or Tunisia it is a winter sport on TV & people watch professional clubs play in leagues. The following nations also play in international tournaments. ( l gave u most of the major countries)

OK that is allot, but l hope u have a better understanding of this game which is every bit as fast paced as basketball except for all those time outs at the end. Here is the Olympic description of this sport with pics click on demonstraion for an animated explanaton of the rules of the game.
