Team Handball (which is referred to as Handball internationally), is a fast paced ball sport on the permanent Olympic program, played throughout six continents in over 181 nations by 19 million+ people of all ages. It is high scoring, with body contact allowed between two teams of 6 court players and a goal keeper. The concept is to move to an opening where one scores a goal by throwing a ball into a goal and stopping an opponent from throwing a ball into your own goal. [www.usateamhandball.org]
