Handball is the fastest team game with a ball in the world.

This fun, fast and easy introduction to handball is based on attack and defence and can be played almost anywhere with simple equipment.

Getting started

■ Two teams of five, six or seven players?including one goalkeeper compete in a modified game of handball.

■ A court of any size is required, with a goal at each end (a hockey, futsal or 5-a-side football goal is fine, or mark/tape a goal on the wall).

■ Around each goal should be a ‘D’, typically a netball D can be used.

■ The two teams compete against each other, passing the ball amongst themselves, with the aim of shooting at the opponents’ goal to score.
