Indoors is the most common venue for this sport. There are seven players in a team. The games are adjudiated by two referees and each player is given a yellow card. If a violation leads to a red flag, the player is dismissed. Players are not allowed to tamper with the ball or kick it.
Handball is played in a 40-by-20 metre court. The ball must be operated by one hand because it is spherical and made of leather. The goals are bolted to the ground and secured to a wall. Each team has one goalkeeper. This person stands within a 6-metre space. Only the goalkeeper can touch the floor of the goal area.
Handball can be played at any age. Teams are usually organized as clubs. Play is split into two 30-minute segments. Two equal referees will judge the match. The referee can issue a penalty-throw for any infraction. Referees have to be able and able to base their decisions on facts. The rules can make this a difficult decision. Depending on the seriousness of the offense, a referee can either penalize the player or award a red card (dismissal).
The first rule in handball is to keep the ball inside the six-metre line. A player who steps beyond the six-metre line forfeits possession of the ball and gives it to his opponent. You must only bounce the ball one time. Also, players must not clinch the ball or push it against the other team's goal.
A player can only attempt one goal in a match. Typically, the player will shoot over a defender's head. If the shot hits goal, the referee lowers its/her hand. The referee then gives the player his/her free hand to score.
If a goalkeeper jumps into the goal, the ball is thrown over the goal line. The attacking side then takes the corner. The throwing side gets a throw-in if the defending player kicks or kicks the ball beyond the goal line. After a throw-in is granted, the defending team must keep at least 3 metres distance from the person taking the free-throw.
Handball, one of the fastest-paced Olympic sports, is a fascinating game that's enjoyed by people on five continents. It is becoming increasingly popular in South America. The sport started out on grass. Later, indoors was developed and it can now be played on a basketball court. Although most major leagues are played in Europe, handball is also available in North America and some parts of Africa.
