The game I created is called 'Torball', based on other similar games.
Two years later, a compatriot of Heiser, Carl Schelen, 'invents' a
new game, named "Hanball", primarily inspired
in football. The rules were identical, with the difference that it was played with the

a soccer field.
1. CONCEPT
A match lasts one hour divided into two halves. There are a
a scorer and a timer as well as two referees.
The goalkeeper is allowed to use their feet to defend their goal, and it is the only
person who can step on the goal area.
Players can hold the ball for a maximum of three seconds and can
take a maximum of three steps while they have it in their possession.
These restrictions do not apply to the goalkeeper. The ball can be passed in
any direction, even rolling down the track.
A player can hit the ball directly with a fist but cannot not

Handball was born as a sport in the first quarter of the 20th century, as
consequence of the evolution of some practiced sports modalities

handball and hazena.

and Women's, currently held biannually, and since 1994
European championships in both categories and also every two years
Spain won the Bronze Medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games
and Sydney 2000.
The I.H.F. (International Handball Federation), founded in 1928, governs the affairs
of our Sport at the global level, and the E.H.F. (European Handball Federation)
founded in 1991, it operates at a European level.

In Spain, Handball followed the same evolution as in the rest of Europe,
considering the Catalan city
from Granollers, the cradle of it
back in the forties.
The ASOBAL Men's League consists of 16 teams and the Women's ABF League
14, being their structures absolutely professional, which demonstrates the
importance of this sport in Spain.

corresponding hand.
The Basic Pass: The assembly must always be done from the front. The holder
must 'look far, near, behind' as a necessary perceptual basis for the
selection of the receiver in the best throwing circumstances. In the passes
without opposition on the passing line, the ball must move quickly and
parallel to the ground. The passes in which the receiver is marked in proximity

The pass must always be trained with opposition: on the receiver, on the
passer or on the passing line. Deception as a component of the pass is
fundamental, for which a motor development is required that allows for
player a correct segmental dissociation.
The pass is, without a doubt, the most important technical action in handball.

The goalkeeper is a player who must master a technique completely different from the

goalkeeper actions need atrainingspecial. They are movements
that are done at high speed since shots on goal are usually very
powerful and the goalkeeper must react quickly to deflect the ball.

reaction speed of their limbs and their flexibility.
