3. T
he aim of the game, which is played in two
30-minute periods, is to get the ball into an
opponent’s goal as many times as possible.
As such, players have to think fast and dis-
play agility and quick reflexes as they move, as they
are only allowed to take three steps with the ball.
While players are not allowed to kick the ball (other
than the goalkeeper), the sport has been described
as a cross between basketball and football. The fast
pace means players take many shots, so it is not
unusual to see games where each side scores more
than 20 or 30 goals. A team of officials are typically
on hand to ensure the game runs smoothly.
Benefits
Handball offers a range of benefits to players,
including physical benefits such as upper body
strength and all-round agility. Due to the sudden
change of direction and pace, players tend to be
very flexible, and their cardiovascular fitness also
improves tremendously. From a mental perspec-
tive, the sport improves self-confidence and men-
tal focus.
