Field Handball Czech Handball Beach Handball

Handball is a fast-paced team sport played indoors where two teams of seven players try to throw a ball into the opponent's goal, with goals usually ranging from 20 to 35 per game. Players pass and throw the ball using only their hands to maneuver past defenders and score within a 6-meter zone surrounding each goal that only the defending goalkeeper can enter. While protective gear is not required, players may wear soft pads and mouth guards as body contact is permitted on defense.

and beach handball. The

game is fast and high-scoring: professional teams now typically score between 20 and 35 goals
each, though lower scores were not uncommon until a few decades ago. Body contact is permitted,
the defenders trying to stop the attackers from approaching the goal. No protective equipment is
mandated, but players may wear soft protective bands, pads and mouth guards.[3]
