Olympic Handball

Back to News
4th Feb 2026
Olympic handball, also known as team handball, is a fast-paced indoor sport played by two teams of seven players. The objective is to score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team’s net while working together through passing, dribbling, and strategic movement. Combining elements of sports like basketball, soccer, and hockey, Olympic handball has been part of the Summer Olympic Games since 1972 for men and 1976 for women, and remains especially popular across Europe. Mr Barrett, Mr Doran and a group of boys headed off today and had a lovely day out.
