Sorry to be dim but what is Handball is it like volleyball ??.

Handball (also known as team handball, field handball, European handball, or Olympic handball) is a team sport where two teams of seven players each (six players and a goalkeeper) pass and bounce a ball trying to throw it in the goal of the opposing team.

The game is similar to football (soccer), though, as the name implies, the basic method of handling the ball involves the player's hands rather than their feet. It has been played internationally since the first half of the 20th century
Handball is same as Football indoor, six players and a goalkeeper each team, they play with a ball using their hands, rules same as basketball very similar, they cant touch areas close to goalkeeper attaching or defending.
Its a really nice sport to see, lot of contact and spectacular, played in most European country, indoor, last world Champion in countries, Spain, best league right now, Spain,Liga ASOBAL, but good one in Germany, Norway, Sweden, France, Rumania, Russia, Croatia, Denmark,Tunez, Algeria, China, US.
Former European Champion, Ademar Leon, Spain.
US, they played a great Olumpic Game in Los Angeles,I remember, they dont have National League, just play national Unervisity League.
Right now here in Tenerife is playing the best American Player Gary Hines from University of Texas, a polivalent player.

Thank you carlitosbaez very informative.

I honestly had never heard of it before.

Looks pretty fast and furious from the pics.


I dont know how anyone can compare this to NFL .

NFL spend most of the game having time out do they not.

I find NFL nearly as boring as golf to watch.

Of course you don't have to apologize

Everyne is welcome sometime to watch a Handball game, honestly, is one if the best sports to see, very fast, very spectacular and with a lot of style. I always like fun and enjoyable sports, and handball is one of them
I am European and lived many years in US, and I have to say, football or soccer, is the sport most practise around the world, but stadicticly one of the most boring in my opinion, its the big one, because all is around it, but watching on tv or live 10 matches just two or three are enjoyable or good ones, in my opinion very bad stadistic. For example basketball and handball are very similar because the rules, etc, very spectacular, very fast and very nice to watch them always.
Here in Europe have the concept Baseball and American Football is very spectacular, but how many time outs during a match, its very static,no rythm, no speed ,nada!! Rest of sports, waterpolo, Hockey indoor, volleyball, Beach Volley are fun, but sometimes boring beacuse they use same situations, just three touches and thats all.
By the way, I know Mick likes Football or soccer, what about the rest? did they ever play before any sport?
