team handball

Indoor throwing game

Team handball is a fast-paced indoor sport where two teams of seven players pass, bounce, and throw a ball, trying to score by hurling it into the opposing team's goal.

Players may not hold the ball for more than three seconds or take more than three steps while holding it.

The sport is popular in Europe and a fixture of the Summer Olympics.

Often shortened to handball, though that term also names other sports.
