Sport Factsheet: Handball
Introduction
Handball is an indoor team sport, which mixes high-speed action, gymnastic agility, sleight of hand and tremendous power with spectacular shots on goal.
It has been described as a sport combining all the best elements of basketball, water polo and football with a little bit of rugby thrown in.
Matches last an hour and handball players need to be all-round athletes to compete - strength, power, agility and good aerobic fitness are all essential.
