Team Handball

Team handball is really fun!  We did it in gym class today and I really enjoyed it!  It is as popular in Spain as football is here.  The rules are:

You cannot have the ball for more than three seconds.

You have to pass the ball three times before you can shoot.

If the ball goes out of bounds, the other team obviously gets it.

The goalie is the only one who can be near the goal; everyone else has to be a couple meters away.

You have to jump in the air to shoot the ball otherwise it doesn't count.

Today, my team won, 11 to 2.  I had 6 of those goals too!  Also, the defense rules the game.  I had a couple blocks and some interceptions or steals.  It was really fun!
