Hi Jane,

Thanks for this very thorough description of the procedure and rules for handball. I didn't realise that men and woman have to use balls of different sizes. I suppose that that makes sense because it would be quite difficult for some women to adequately grip a ball that fits a man's hand. I know that I would struggle as I have small hands. What about you? Do you think that you could compete using the larger ball? I know that this is actually quite common practice in other ball sports including basketball.

I hope that you enjoyed reading about handball, learning the rules, creating a post and then sharing it with us. You're done a really nice job of learning, creating and sharing. Keep it up :)

Cheers, Rachel
