How do you play Team Handball?
Team Handball is a 7-vs-7 team sport played on a 67' x 135' court (larger than a basketball court). Teams attack at goal that is 6'7" tall and 10' wide and a successful scoring attempt results in the award of a single point. Typical final scores in this action-packed game are in the 30's. A regulation game is played in two 30-minute halves with one team timeout per half. The clock stops only for team timeouts, injuries, and at the referee's discretion.
