Handball is a sport that came up a few years ago. We got bored in the time before practice of Cross Country Running, Skiing and Track started.

We don't remember how it exactly started, but one of our players must have had a ball and threw it against a wall. Others jumped in and tried to slam the ball against the wall again - without catching it. With the years Handball (which has nothing to little to do with the real Handball) got quiet popular amongst runners and gets passed down with every new generation of runners.

Also a lot of rules came up to make the game more interesting. Unfortunately that doesn't make it easy for everybody to understand it the first time they're playing. I learned most of the rules when I was asked what was wrong with the way I did it.

I will try to explain it on this webpage as good as I can.
