Answer 2

Team Handball is in the Olympics as both a men's and women's sport- A sport in which 2 teams 7 vs 7 (6 position players and 1 goalie) win by scoring the most goals. Players can pass, throw, catch and dribble a small ball with their hands while trying to score goals.

To get a better idea of what Olympic Handball looks like watch these videos from 2004 Olympics gold medal game on the NBC OLYMPICS WEB SIGHT.

Answer 3

It depends on which handball you are talking about. There are two types of handball. One type is a team sport where two team of seven players each pass and bounce a ball trying to throw the ball it in the goal of the opposing team. This type of handball is considered a sport. The other type of handball is similar to raquetball. The game may be played with 2-4 players and the player have to hit the ball with their hands to the wall. This type of handball is not consider as a sport.

Answer 4

Yes, team handball it is, 4 square is way to non-competitive to be an olympic sport. That sport is comparable to me rolling a dora the explorer ball back and forth with my niece, it can go on for hours and no one really wins.

Answer 5

it depends which hands ball the one when you have to dribble then throw into the goal that is in the olimpics but 4 square is not!
