Answer 3

Answer 4

Some sports are very physical, like Rugby and Basketball. But handball is a bit like golf; you don't get an exercise and it's more of a relaxation game.

Answer 5

Technically it is: Here is how wiki defines it:

Handball (also known as team handball, field handball, European handball, or Olympic handball) is a team sport where two teams of seven players each (six players and a goalkeeper) pass and bounce a ball trying to throw it in the goal of the opposing team.

The game has a goal similar to but smaller than the one in association football, though as the name implies, the basic method of handling the ball involves the players' hands rather than their feet. The game has been played internationally since the 1920s

Answer 9

i guess

Answer 10

Certainly:  ball + players + score + sweat = sport.

I play a couple of hours, 2-3 times per week.  Much better game than racketball.  You have to use both hands and no one is smacking you in the head with a racket.

Forget the wikipedia def with the 7-man team.  Handball can be played on the same court as racketball and the rules are similar.  2 -4 players.  Game to 21.

Answer 21

The Handball I am most familar with was once refered to as "ghetto tennis" somewhere and is played with a blue ball.

I love it and it's highly underrated. It's a popular underground type sport here in New York and there are tournaments throughout the summer. It's fun to watch and play once you give it a chance.

To me, it's 95% mental, anyone can play as long as they develop the skill. I've beaten guys who look stronger and bigger than me, I've seen women beat men, kids beat older players, vice versa, etc.
