Handball

Handball is one of the most popular sports in the world, in which two teams of seven players (six field plus the goalkeeper) to try to put the ball into the opposing goal.

The goal of the game, as we said, is to score more goals than the opposition, using it in his hands. Pull with your hand, pass with his hand. For something is called handball. The match is divided into two halves of 30 minutes each, and became Olympic in 1972 (although an unsuccessful attempt was made in 1936).

The main rule is that you can not touch the ball with his foot rule has an exception in the porters, who can stop the ball with his feet. Most characteristic of this sport is the attack-defense situation in which attackers form a ring around the opposing goal. Physical contact is very steady, and a player can connect with other "face" that is, breast to breast, but without pushing anyone. It is therefore possible to obstruct the contrary to prevent it in easily. Nor can we give more than three steps without bouncing.

In addition, players will be warned and excluded the latter situation that will cause the player in question is withdrawn to the bench by time of 2 minutes when his team is down one player.

The playing field is a rectangle 40 feet long by 20 wide. Another very important feature of the game are the areas of porter, who form a semicircle of six yards from goal, where goalkeeper can only be in it . Hence, when we see a handball match attackers jump to throw the ball as close to the goal, without touching the ground before shooting in this area.
