http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handball

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 6

Handball (TEAM VERSION) is a sport ,played by men and women,  that has 2 teams with each team having 7 players (six players and a goalie) who pass, throw, catch and dribble a small ball with their hands while trying to score goals. Team that scores the most goals wins.

Handball is a fast paced high scoring game with scores in the 30's not uncommon (each goal is 1 pt). A game consists of two 30-minute halves with a 10-minute half time break.

Modern version of team handball traces its origins to Denmark, Sweden and Germany and it was German physical education teachers   who developed the rules for the modern game.

While Handball is played throughout the world it's most popular in Continental Europe (top 3 pro leagues Germany, Spain and France) and North Africa while being mostly unknown in English speaking countries. Most people in the USA confuse it with the other version of handball where you hit a ball off the wall with a gloved hand.
