Question

How can handball even be a category? People stand around flinging balls to each other. Why do we care?

Answer 1

Handball is fun--if you come over here to the Bronx, NY and see some of the games you will change your tune.

Answer 2

handball is a great game for team communication and hand-eye coordination

plus its a lot of fun!

Answer 3

I play 4 - wall Handball, and it is sort of, on a scale of ability and toughness, tougher than squash or racquetball, but obviously not basketball or football. For a construction worker that wants to play a tough sport, but not lose time to a serious injury or commit too much time away from work, it is perfect. Also, It is one of the most popular sports for x-training other athletes into eye - hand coordination. Especially Boxers. Tyson had a trainer that had him play 4 -wall daily, as Rocky Marciano did. It is an old-school sport. Handball has been called "The Perfect Game," and requires and builds skill and coordination. Why play a lesser sport ?

Answer 4

Sorry, but you obviously don't understand the sport.  Handball is the sport of kings.  It requires a fearless desire to compete at the highest level of quickness, agility and skill.  It is not for the faint of heart.  It is a sport for only the toughest and most reckless of all.

Answer 5

it is actually a real sport, unlike professional wrestling which has had umpteen million questions asked in the last two days.

Answer 6

Handball is a very good sport for younger people to begin with in terms of skill development and tactical team work. The game consists around the skill of throwing and also allows members to learn about placement, communication and team work before they get into more major games such as soccer, football, netball and hockey for example.

Answer 7

Why even post a question here if you don't care about it.

Just go back and answer some questions on skin or whatever!

Answer 8

I don't know much about this topic, but I'm always an advocate for careful and responsible treatment of balls.

Answer 9

Oh.

Answer 10

You don't "throw balls at each other." Handball is played in an enclosed court and the rules are similar to racketball. You wear gloves and it is played with a hard rubber ball.

Answer 11

i agree with you..its not a sport

Answer 12

amen

Answer 13

In the first place, you don't fling balls to each other, and if you were actually able to play a real game of handball, with people who were good, you would like it.
