How to play handball? Handball is a fun addictive game that everyone can play. Handball is an easy, simple game that anyone can learn. All you need to play handball is a small ball (size of a tennis ball) and a centre line on a hard surface.

In handball you can play with as many players as you want. In handball their is a King. The aim of the game is to get the King out of their square so you can be the King. To play, the King serves first bouncing the ball in their square then the other players square. You must hit the ball before it double bounces in your square. As a result of that will mean you are out. To get the king out you can do things like skims or dragging. That is where you hit the ball low and hard. It is hard to not let the ball bounce twice in your square when you do skims or drags. When you go to hit the ball and you think that it is not going to pass the line then you can do a thing called a lifesaver. A lifesaver is when you hit the ball so it can get past the line. When you do lifesaver you have to say ‘lifesaver’ while you hit the ball. This sometimes confuses the opposite player. If you get out you can say something called first serve. First serve is a life, so when you get out then you can say ‘first serve’ and you are still in. You may only use this once.

Handball can become a very challenging game when you verse people very skilled. Taxi Stand is another move that you can use. It is when you catch the ball when people do high mountains. Taxi stand is like lifesaver, you have to say Taxi Stand when you catch the ball.

So on a wonderful warm day, head out side with your family and friends to play a beautiful game of handball. You’ll love it.
