what the fuck is handball? is it like wallball?

Handball is a game you play with a ball the size of a tennis ball (usually softer). The player hits it against the wall like you would in squash or racquetball. There is usually another player and they alternate hitting the ball against the wall. They play until someone misses the ball. The person who did not miss gets the point. They play up to a certain number of points to win. Handball is traditionally played on the streets or playgrounds and against walls of buildings.

yes you are right

Handball is a sport much like Raquetball. Instead of using a Racket though, you use your hands which have only the protection of a thin layering of glove. It is really fast paced and a really good way to burn some calories.

l go to college at Missouri State University and we've won 9 of the last 15 National Championships.

The category is sadly ambiguous.

There r at least two kinds of games called handball.

The first one l was aware of - & the older version, l believe - is basically raquetball without a raquet. The players wore leather, padded gloves - played basically on a raquetball court - & hit the ball with their hands. The inside game is played with four walls - u can find outdoor games with just three walls. They played it in the movie BIG with Tom Hanks. They play it at Venice Beach in LA.

A newer game called Handball is a team sport. In the US, anyways, it is usually referred to (to the extent that it is referred to at all) as ''Team Handball.'' It is like soccer - or water polo - or lacross, sorta. It is played indoors on a court about the size of a basketball court. The teams have about seven players - & a goalie? - or is the goalie one of the players, l forget. Anyways, it is uses a ball like a little smaller than a volleyball. You can dribble the ball - but only twice. You can take two steps after dribbling - about one step more than allowed in basketball. There is alot of passing. Also, since there is an offensive player exclusion zone around the goal - there is alot of passing along the perimeter of the shooting zone - kind of like water polo or lacrosse - trying to set up a player who can avoid a defender & take an open shot. The player taking the shot can run & jump into the zone, provided that he releases the ball before landing. The goal is a rectangular net goal - like a soccer goal but smaller.

l first played this game in 1975 when l attended High School in Germany for one year as an exchange student. It was already an established sport there. It is an Olympic sport & has been for some time. It is really a quite exciting & fast game.

l have no clue, l just wanted to see if any questions were asked EVER ??

its kinda lame all you do is hit the ball against the wall
