What is Playing Handball like? This is a question we are often asked. Handball is is a fast-paced game and has been described as borrowing elements of basketball, soccer, hockey, and water polo. To play handball, several actions are necessary, including hits, passes, jumps, blocks, pushes, runs, throws, and dribbling. The goal of a handball game is to score a goal by throwing a ball into your opponent team's goal as many times as you can during the match. If you have the ball in your possession, you can only take three steps and have three seconds to pass or shoot. Handball is a complex sport that requires coordination, endurance and strength. And it is a lot of fun. #handball #europeanhandball #brisbanehandball #handballaustralia #handballqueensland

Modern handball is played on a court of 40 by 20 metres (131 by 66 ft), with a goal in the middle of each end. The goals are surrounded by a 6-metre (20 ft) zone where only the defending goalkeeper is allowed; goals must be scored by throwing the ball from outside the zone or while "diving" into it. The sport is usually played indoors, but outdoor variants exist in the forms of field handball, Czech handball (which were more common in the past) and beach handball. The game is fast and high-scoring: professional teams now typically score between 20 and 35 goals each, though lower scores were not uncommon until a few decades ago. Body contact is permitted for the defenders trying to stop the attackers from approaching the goal. No protective equipment is mandated, but players may wear soft protective bands, pads and mouth guards. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
