Played indoors on a court with goals at each end, two teams of seven players (six court players and one goalkeeper) compete to score the most goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team’s net.Basic Rules & Gameplay:Objective: Score more goals than the opposing team within two 30-minute halves.The Ball: Slightly smaller than a soccer ball, designed to be held and thrown with one hand.Movement: Players pass, dribble (similar to basketball), and shoot the ball using their hands.Defense: Physical contact is allowed but regulated; defenders aim to block shots and intercept passes.The Goal Area: Only the goalkeeper can enter the 6-meter goal area (or “crease”).Why It’s Exciting:Fast Transitions: Teams move quickly from defense to offense, making for non-stop action.High Scoring: Games often see 20 goals per team, keeping fans engaged.Tactical Depth: Combines speed, strength, strategy, and teamwork.Where It’s Popular:Handball is especially popular in Europe, with professional leagues and major international competitions like the IHF World Championship and the Olympic Games drawing global audiences.IHF: Technical Specifications for HandballsThe following three different categories of handballs shall apply:(A) Handballs Played with Resin: The following ball sizes (i.e. circumference and weight) shall be used for the different age categories:58 to 60 cm in circumference and 425 to 475 g in weight (IHF size 3) for men’s senior and youth (aged 16 and older) players54 to 56 cm in circumference and 325 to 375 g in weight (IHF size 2) for women’s senior, women’s youth (aged 14 and older) and men’s youth (aged 12 to 16) players50 to 52 cm in circumference and 290 to 330 g in weight (IHF size 1) for women’s youth (aged 8 to 14) and men’s youth (aged 8 to 12) players(B) Handballs Played without Resin: The following ball sizes (i.e. circumference and weight) shall be used for the different age categories –55.5 to 57.5 cm in circumference and 400 to 425 g in weight (IHF size 3) for men’s senior and youth (aged 16 and older) players51.5 to 53.5 cm in circumference and 300 to 325 g in weight (IHF size 2) for women’s senior, women’s youth (aged 14 and older) and men’s youth (aged 12 to 16) players49 to 51 cm in circumference and 290 to 315 g in weight (IHF size 1) for women’s youth (aged 8 to 14) and men’s youth (aged 8 to 12) players(C) Handballs for beginners: For beginners, different handballs may be used –46 to 48 cm in circumference and 255 to 280 g in weight (IHF size 0) for children (aged 8 and younger) or beginners of different age groups44 to 46 cm in circumference and 165 to 190 g in weight (size 00) for children or other beginners46 to 48 cm in circumference and 190 to 225 g in weight (non-inflatable squeeze balls) for children or other beginners46 to 48 cm in circumference and 190 to 225 g in weight (non-inflatable sponge balls)Source: https://www.ihf.info/Learn More
