A description of the game....
European Handball and Team Handball:
Imagine taking the fast pace of basketball and the team play of soccer, put it on a court measuring 20 meters by 40 meters, add two goals about half the size of soccer goals, and a goal
zone like the three-point circle that is off-limits to all but the goalie and you can imagine Team Handball. One
goalie and six court players pass, dribble and shoot with a leather ball the size of a youth soccer ball. Youth
games are two 15 minute periods, running time, free substitutions. Scores may reach into the 20-30's.
Audiences are surprised by the amount of contact allowed before penalty and enjoy the fast breaks and leaping
scoring styles.
