Handball is a sport of contact, combining speed, skill, agility and stamina. It is played on a court with a goal in the centre of each end. International Handball Federation governs the game. They also organize tournaments and the men’s international championship. East Asia and North Africa have the most popularity among the 197 member IHF-affiliated federations. Handball is played worldwide by approximately 795,000 teams.
Indoors is the most common venue for this sport. Each team consists of seven players. The games are ruled by two referees. Each player is issued a yellow ticket. If a violation leads to a red flag, the player is dismissed. Players are not permitted to touch the ball or kick it.
Handball is played on an area of 40 x 20 m. The ball is spherical, made of leather, and must be operated with a single hand. The goals are attached to a wall and bolted down to the floor. Each team has their own goalkeeper. They stand in a 6-metre-wide area. Only the goalkeeper has the right to touch the ground in the goal area.
Handball is a sport that can be played by anyone of any age. Clubs are often used to organize teams. Play is divided into two 30-minute periods. Two referees, each equal, judge the match. The referee may award a penalty-throw when there is an infringement. The referee must be able to base his decision on the facts. This can be a hard decision because the rules are strict. Depending on the severity and nature of the offense, the referee might either sanction the player or give the player a red-card (dismissal).
Handball's first rule is to keep your ball within six metres of the line. If a player moves beyond the six-metre mark, he forfeits his possession and the opponent takes the ball. Another rule is not to bounce the ball more than once. Players must not push the ball against the goal of the opposing team or clinch it.
One goal can be attempted by a player in a single game. A player is likely to shoot over the head of a defender. If the shot hits the goal, the referee lowers his/her hand. The referee can then lower his/her hand and allow the player to score.
If a player jumps into the goal area and the ball is knocked over the goal line, the attacking side takes the corner. The throwing side gets a throw-in if the defending player kicks or kicks the ball beyond the goal line. The defending player must keep at least three metres from the person about to receive the throw-in.
Handball, the fastest-paced Olympics sport, is an intriguing game that is enjoyed on five continents. It is becoming increasingly popular in South America. It was initially played on grass. The sport evolved to indoors, and is now also played on a tennis court. While many of the major leagues take place in Europe and North America, handball is played throughout Africa and North America.
