Handball
Handball is a dynamic team sport that mixes basketball, soccer, and ice hockey. Played with two teams of seven, handball is an exciting game full of blocking, passing, dribbling, and shooting. Handball is a spectator favorite because it is a high-scoring event, with teams often scoring over 50 goals in a single match. Handball players must be fast and have good hand-eye coordination. Since it is a team sport, players learn effective communication and collaboration skills. Not only is handball fun for the players, but it’s also a thrilling watch for spectators.
