... field handball, team court game. Despite its status as an Olympic sport, the game is virtually unknown in the United States. Originated in central Europe in the early 1900s as an outdoor game, it combines elements of soccer and basketball. The fast-paced play of 7- or 11-person teams has as its object the hurling of a cantaloupe-sized ball into a goal. Players may run or dribble three steps with the ball, but most advancement comes from passing. Fouls result in free throws and penalty throws. 2, record 1, English, - field%20handball

Il ne faut pas en déduire pour autant que le handball à onze, aujourd’hui disparu, appartient à la préhistoire : le handball à sept est sans doute apparu le premier, mais celui à onze a connu son âge d’or notamment en Allemagne. Après vingt ans d’existence côte à côte, seule la formule à sept a donc finalement survécu. 4, record 1, French, - handball%20%C3%A0%20onze
