The ball is smaller than a football in order for the players to be able to hold and handle it with a single hand(though contact with both hands is perfectly allowed). Some American versions use a volleyball. It is transported by bouncing it between hands and floor-much as in basketball. A player may only hold the ball for three seconds and may only take three steps with the ball in hand. There are many variations, a common American version allows only 1 step with the ball, and afterward MUST pass the ball to another teammate or shoot. 4, record 8, English, - team%20handball%20ball
