Handball originated in Scandinavia and Germany in the late 19th century. It became an Olympic sport starting in 1972. Handball is played on a 40m by 20m court with goals at each end. Teams consist of 7 players - 6 field players and 1 goalkeeper. The main rules are that field players can only use their hands to pass and shoot, while the goalkeeper can use their feet. Common fouls include traveling, double dribbling, and pushing or holding opponents. Teams use different formations for attacking and defending, such as 3-3 in attack and 5-1 in defense.

COURT
• Handball is played on a court 40m x 20m and features 2x3m goals at each end. The 9m
arc is the free throw line and it is usually dashed (discontinua). A penalty throw line lies
7m in front of the goals. There is also a halfway line with a center dot for the restart.
• Substitution can occur at anytime so long as player-off before player-on.
• The attackers may
shoot from in the air
above the goal area
but must shoot before
landing. A defender or
an attacker can not
travel through the goal
area in order to get an
advantage at another
spot.

POSITIONS
SECUNDARIAYBACHILLERATO
• Goalkeeper: the player who defends the goal with every part of the body. Is the
only player who can touch the ball with their feet.
• Centre: a creative handball player who directs play in both defense and
attack. Also known as the ‘playmaker’ and sets up the tactics and assists.
• Left and right backs — When defending, they try to block shots, and in attack they
are the long-range handball shooters. They are the largest players.
• Pivot — the creative force in attack and
disruption to opponents when
defending. The circle runner is quick and
gets in among opposing defenders to
either create openings for teammates or
to get into a good scoring position
themselves.
• Left and right wingers — the fast players
who patrol the sides of the court. They
counter opposing wingers and in attack
look to create openings for others, or
shoot from the more difficult angles.
