I am going to start with the main characteristics and rulers of handball

- The field is a rectangle of 40 x 20 meters, it is divided into two equal parts, and we can find a goal area in each one.

- The measures of the goal are 2x3 meters

- The limitation line of a goalkeeper is 15 cm and it is in front of the goal, about 4 meters away.

- The change line for each team is from the central line to a point situated in a distance of 4’5 meters

- The largest lines are called “band lines” and the shortest “goal lines”

THE BALL:

1-     Girls from 8 to 14 years and boys from 8 to 12 years: size (50-52 cm) weight(290-330g)

2-     Teenagers boys from 12-16 years and teenagers girls +14 years: size(54-56cm) weight(325-375g)

3-     Only for men: youth and senior (+16 years): size(58-60cm) weight(425-475g)

-In a team can be 14 players, but only 6 players (and a goalkeeper) can play in the match (the others are reservations)

-The time of a match is 1h,  divided into two periods of 30 min of each one. For young match between 12-16 years it is two periods of 25 min, and for the age between 8-12 years there are 2 periods of 20 min ( with a little rest of 10 min)

If the match is tied there is a pre afe, if the match continuous tied there is another preafe

-In this sport can be chest to chest contact, using hands with arms but you can’t push the opponent

-An admonition can be seen only once for player (maximum 3 for team). It is occurred when a player shows a bad conduction.

You can see an admonition when you see a yellow card.

-Exclusion:  the placer can’t play for two min and there’s anyone in his position. If a player is excluding 3 times, he can’t play again.

It is realized when a player do infractions, has a bad conduction or he don’t put the ball on the floor if his team has a fault.

The referee has the hand close but two fingers up.

A player must leave the match and another player takes his place.

When he do a very big infraction, his bad conduction continuous,  has 3 expulsions, do an aggression or The referee shows a red card to the player

The referee shows a red card to the player

and those are the main characteristics and rulers about handball :)
