Invented in Ireland 900 or so years ago and just like football which was invented more recently it is and should be uniquely attached to its name,of course the Americans tried to nick the name football for a sport that involves mainly hands which is clever.The best player is Irish,so Mr once and for all,get lost

The people who are saying handball is a team sport involving more then 4 people are most likely from Europe where it is known as team handball. Team Handball goes back too the late 1880's where it was played in Germany,Denmark and Sweden since then the game is popular throughout most of Europe also played in Africa and Asia. It has been a regular Olympic Sport since 1972 played by both men and women teams.
The game involves 7 players each side who throw,catch, and dribble a ball while trying too score

Well it is in the rules, they should have been given the tech, but then the opposing player shooting the free throws should have missed them on purpose. Same thing kinda happened in one of my high schools game. A kids dad got into a car accident and was in the hospital an hour before game. His dad told him to go to the game since he would be ok, he got to the game late and went out into the court, but that was a tech since he wasn't dressed at beginning of game. The other players knew what happened with his dad and said they refused to shoot the tech shots, but the refs forced him so he tossed the ball into the stands for his shot. That was even our rivals that did that. That's what the girl should've done. If they wanted to wear pink they shoudve worn pink shoe laces, pink wrapping around ankles, pink head bands, and anything else possible to wear. They should also have gotten approval first.

In middle school we used to play handball. If you lost the point you had to stick your butt in the air and each player got 1 throw as hard as they could and try to hit you. We called the game Butts-Up. I didn't realize it was an official sports category
