I was playing Handball in primary school and it is the first place for me among the games I have played with pleasure.
I opened this topic to give detailed information about this beautiful sport that is so enjoyable but that people are not aware of.
It is very important for the development and physiological development of children, with a play style blended from many sports branches. Basketball, Volleyball, Long Jump etc. Techniques in sports are used in combination in this branch of sports.
So what is this Handball?
A fun team game that is not very common in countries.
The word "handball" is derived from the word "handball" meaning "handball" and entered Turkish.
In fact, one of the oldest sports in the world is handball. In the early 19th century, it began to be played in the most similar way to the rules of handball played in Denmark in the current time.
After it was published in various countries in Europe,
With its acceptance in the Olympics, the game of handball is now played in 150 countries and there are 8 million licensed handball players around the world.
The handball game team consists of the following line-up;
It is played with 7 players, 1 goalkeeper and 6 players, and two teams facing each other.
There are 5 substitute players in the teams. This must be the most enjoyable part, because it has to be due to the vitality of the game and a lot of effort, since there are no rules for changing players during the game.
The handball ball is covered with synthetic fabric.
In men's teams, a match is played in two 30-minute halves in indoor sports halls.
In women's teams, a half time is 25 minutes. The half-time break is 10 minutes.
As I mentioned above, Handball is a high-paced, high-quality game that requires physical strength.
It is a game in which there are miniature castles against each other and the aim of the game is to score a goal against the opposing team.
The perception of the word GOAL, which we are accustomed to from football, is also present in Handball, but goals are scored by hand.
Handball, which can be called a mixture of football and basketball, is played by hand.
Standard playing field dimensions should be 40 meters long and 20 meters wide.
There are two goals on the field, the goal lines, the outer goal lines, the center line and the side lines.
Handball Game Rules;
The beginning of the game starts with throwing the ball into the air as in basketball.
Due to the rules of handball, the ball cannot touch the areas below the knee. Players who violate the rule will be out of the game for 2 minutes.
When a player is out of play due to a foul, no substitute may be substituted.
The players hold the ball for 3 seconds and after taking 3 steps they must release the ball.
The ball held by the opponent cannot be touched by other players, but the player's ball throw can be blocked.
The penalty kick is made from a distance of 7 meters, imagine that your arm muscles must be strong enough to score a goal by hand from this distance.
There are two referees who rule the game.
I just said the below-the-knee rule, but this does not apply to goalkeepers, they can use their hands and feet. Other players can only play manually.
Defenders can contact other players within certain rules.
The best part of this game is that players other than the goalkeeper are not allowed to enter the D-shaped penalty area, which is 6 m away. In order to score a goal other than a penalty, you have to shoot from a distance of 6 meters without hitting the lines.
However, it is not forbidden to enter the penalty area from outside the penalty area and without stepping on the line while you are in the air, and you have to take the shot and get the ball out of your hand without your feet touching the ground. So if you want, which is usually done, you score goals by flying.
