Handball (Also Known As Team Handball, European Handball or Olympic Handball)

Professional handball games now typically see teams scoring between 20 to 35 goals each, as the fast-paced game allows for high-scoring matches. Two teams of seven players pass a ball using only their hands to throw it into the opponent's goal over two 30-minute periods, seeking to score more goals to win the standard match. Play takes place on a court with goals in the middle of each end, surrounded by a zone where only defenders can enter to try and stop attackers from approaching the goal without protective equipment.

Handball (also known as team handball, European handball or Olympic handball)[2] is a team
sport in which two teams of seven players each (six outcourt players and a goalkeeper) pass a ball
using their hands with the aim of throwing it into the goal of the other team. A standard match
consists of two periods of 30 minutes, and the team that scores more goals wins.
Modern handball is played on a court of 40 by 20 metres (131 by 66 ft), with a goal in the middle of
each end. The goals are surrounded by a 6-meter (20 ft) zone where only the defending goalkeeper

The sport is usually played indoors, but outdoor variants exist in the forms of field
handball and Czech handball (which were more common in the past) and beach handball. The
