Olympic handball is different from the game that kids play against a wall.
Olympic handball is a very fast team game, some shots can be up to 65 miles/hour.
There are seven people on a handball team.
The ball is larger than a baseball or softball but smaller than a basketball.
There is a net at each end of the handball court.
The players pass the ball down the court. They pass the ball by throwing it.
They also can run with the ball if they bounce it.
They score a goal if they get the ball into the net.
Only the goalkeeper may be in the goal area.
