What is Handball?

Handball (also known as Olympic or Team Handball) is a fun, fast, contact team sport that is growing in Scotland. The objective of the game is to throw a small ball into the goal of the opposing team.

Handball is played with a squad of 14, of which 1 goalkeeper and 6 players are on the court at any one time however rolling substitutions means that all players are involved. A standard match consists of two 30 minute periods and with scores in the 20's or 30's there is always excitement for the spectators.

Handball has been described as a cross between Basketball, Rugby and Football but in reality it is truely unique.
