A LITTLE HISTORY

-- It’s difficult to know the origins of handball (like in all sports) because they’re all theories of histories that people tell.

But finally, people has discovered that handball is a very ancient sport…

We don’t know exactly when and where handball appeared but people think that it appeared on Greece on year 600 a.C.

At first that game/sport was so simple, it only consisted on play to pass a ball with the size of an orange from one person to another.

All that that I have wrote are the origins of HANDBALL, but there was another sport, very similar to it; with a similar ball and with similar rules called Haspartun, and played on Roma

( 150 a.C. )

But finally, Handball was created in Denmark in 1898
by the teacher of PE, Holger Nielsen. It was the same sport that football, but with the hand.
