Steps

The first thing you should know is that there are 2 different versions of handball: Chinese and American. Chinese is the easier of the two, in which the players bounce the ball against the ground once before it hits the wall, while in American, it doesn't bounce. If it doesn't make it in one bounce (Chinese), or if it bounces (American), it is the other player's turn to "serve".

Decide on your rules. An example would be whether you want DBA (Double bounce American, where if it bounces twice, you must hit it American, used in Chinese), or DBC (American only, when the ball bounces twice, hit it Chinese). You might want to rule out flagging, where the opponent is allowed to distract you but not interfere with the ball, or if you're on a team with someone, you might want team saves (where one person on the team hits the ball up, it bounces, then the other person hits it American. This also goes with self saves. You can have self saves for either team or by yourself). You could even call Kings (none of the rules; just hitting it. Don't forget about "slams", where you can hit it as hard as you can.

This is when it's time to play. Set what the score will be. It's usually to 7, but you can make it anything. There is usually a set score for when there is a shutout (when the opponent has 0 points the entire time) The set score for shutouts when playing to 7 is 5. After the set score is decided, a player begins the game with a "volley" (Throwing the ball either Chinese or American, depending on what you're playing). Now the other person must hit it. This decides who gets the ball first. The person that misses the ball after it bounces twice (Once if playing Kings) will NOT serve first. The game continues in the same matter, only there is no volley; just serving.

Tips

Practice by yourself or with friends. Don't worry about the score.

A good tip that usually works when you volley is to throw the ball "side-arm", moving your arm in a sideways motion. Don't do this all the time because over a long period of time it can damage your arm.

Try to "kill". Kill is when you hit the ball and it stays low and just makes it over, and the other player misses it or when he/she hits it, it doesn't make it to the wall. Compare it to getting "schooled" in street basketball.

Play the corners, but be ready to jump in if the ball is hit low. Playing the corners gives you a wide area to play in, so no matter where the ball goes, you're ready.

Warnings

Do not constantly volley side-arm. It is unhealthy for the arm when constantly being done, and can lead to serious arm injury.

When allowing slams (or at any time), watch where the ball is. Sometimes it can travel at high speeds.

Know your skills.
