Question

Answer 1

No not at all people ask all the time what is handball? is it a sport?, and confuse Team Handball (Olympic Sport) with a version of handball in which you wear a glove on your hand and hit a ball off the wall.

No  handball is never shown on TV except rare time NBC put it on one of the cable channels for the gold medal Women/Men's game in 2004. Most Americans would be surprised handball is even in the Olympics last time USA had a handball team in the Olympics  was 1996 Atlanta that was only because of the rule that allows a host nation to qualify in all team sports. The games where never even shown on TV and you would have been hard pressed to find media coverage.

Handball in the USA has no organized grass root level organization in which schools, youth leagues and colleges have teams. Only time I saw students mention this sport is played in their gym classes.
