The rules of handball

The basic rules of playing handballHandball is a great game to play if you want to get your body fit and healthy through engaging exercise. However, before you start out in this competitive and fast paced sport, it's best you acquaint yourself with some of the basic rules of handball. Here's the realbuzz.com guide to getting to grips with the laws of the game of handball.

The rules of handball are pretty simple and are aimed at ensuring the game flows freely. We've compiled a list of some of the basic rules to help you get to grips with this fast-moving sport:

• The six metre line

  No player (other than the goalkeeper) is allowed in the goal area (inside the 6m line). Exceptions are after a shot on goal, when the player jumps into the area and shoots the ball before landing in the goal area.

• 'Walking'

  If a handball player takes more than three steps without dribbling (bouncing the ball) or holds the ball for more than 3 seconds without bouncing it, shooting or passing, then that is deemed 'walking' and possession is lost.

• 'Double dribble'

  Handball players cannot receive the ball and bounce it, then hold the ball, and bounce it again. This is termed 'double dribble' and is against the rules.

• 'Kicking'

  Handball players (other than the goalkeeper) must not kick the ball. If the ball touches the foot, then possession is awarded to the opposition.

• Handball fouls

  No tripping, pushing, hitting, clinching, charging or holding is allowed in handball.

• Free-throws in handball

  These are awarded for slight infringements of the rules. All defenders are required to stay 3m (9.84ft) away from the person taking the free-throw.

• Penalty-throws in handball

  These are awarded when denying a clear scoring opportunity with an infringement.

• Handball sanctions

  Depending on the seriousness of the offence, the referee can award players with either a yellow card (warning), suspension (2 minutes sitting out), or a red card (dismissal).

• Throw-ins in handball

  These are awarded after the ball has crossed a side line. It is taken by the side who did not touch it last, with the player putting one foot on the line where ball went out and passing it back into the court.

• Corners in handball

  A corner is taken by the attacking side when a defender has knocked the ball over the goal line (other than in the goal). The player puts one foot on the corner of the side line and the goal line and passes the ball in.

• Goal-throws in handball

  This occurs when the ball comes off a goalkeeper and crosses the goal line. The goalkeeper then takes the throw from within their own area.
