Handball is a weird ( :) ) sport that I added here as it's an Olympic sport, so somebody (particularly some of you Europeans out there) should know something about it :) -- Robert Merkel
Handball sport played with a ball. The goal it to throw the ball into the goal of the opposing team. The ball is transported by bouncing it between hands and floor (much as in basketball). The goals are surrounded by a close to semicircular line which no player, save the defending goalkeeper?, may take a step inside. If a player should find himself inside the goal perimeter he must immediately take the most direct path out of it.

The game is quite fast and includes much contact as the defenders tries to bodily stop the attackers from approaching the goal.
