Dear blog 9/8/2012 OLYMPIC SPORT!

Handball! Most people think that Handball is a sport played with hands against a wall, well your WRONG!
Handball ( a.k.a Olympic handball, European handball or Borden ball) is a Team sport where two teams of seven players each team (six players make up the outfield and a goalkeeper) A game is made of two of 30 minute halves, and, like most team sports, the team with the most goals at the end wins.

Handball is usually played indoors, outdoor Handball is not as common and is called Field Handball  and beach handball (a.k.a sandball). Goals are scored a lot, usually both teams score at least 20 goals each.

The ball is round and is made of leather. Sizes vary because of the age and gender of the players.
