My first Handball match


Well... Here it is ladies and gentlemen - a sport I bet 98% of you have never seen, let alone heard of. Handball is quite popular in Europe, particularly in Hungary and at my school. Several of my students play handball whether for the school or for a club team. I had never seen the sport before, so I decided to go watch a game. It's a loose cross between rugby, soccer and basketball with a little football thrown in. I have no idea what the rules are- and it's amazing that they all come out of it alive since there are NO pads, and evidently no safety regulations what-so-ever. My team is the one in the black and white stripes- thus getting scored on in this particular play :(
