Team Handball (Reproduced from: www.herricks.org/middleschool.cfm?subpage=185)

Team handball is often referred to as "soccer with your hands." Team handball combines elements of soccer, basketball, water polo, and ice hockey. It is a game which requires a team of seven players (goalie and six field players) to run down a court the size of almost two basketball courts (20 meters wide by 40 meters long) while jumping, throwing and catching a ball with an objective to throw a ball passed a goalkeeper from outside a marked goal area.
