More tactical than racquetball, faster than tennis, and demanding more precision and stamina than any racquet sport, handball is the ultimate court game.
According to various studies, handball outpaces every other team sport. With the exception of perhaps activities such as running or swimming, our sport is one of the best cardiovascular exercises one can do while having fun!
