Handball is the fastest team ball game around! (see video below)

Each team is made of six field players and one goalkeeper. The players move around the court bouncing or passing the ball (after up to 3 steps), while the opposite team defend against them, trying to intercept the ball.

Players can run anywhere on the court with the ball (as long as they bounce it) or without it, apart from the two 6 meter D shaped goalkeeper areas.

 

Unlike basketball, some physical contact is allowed but this is not rugby either! 

You can shoot from anywhere or while you're jumping above the D.


Of course you need to beat the defence first...then see if you can beat the goalkeeper too!!!



We welcome everyone at our club, regardless of age or ability.

 If you want to have a go at this very exciting sport or want to get back into it after a long break, just get in touch!
