Olympic Handball is a team sport played on the same court as a Futsal court.
It is like a cross between Basketball, Water Polo and Indoor Soccer, where the goal is to throw the ball into a goal at the other teams end of the court. It is played with the hands rather than feet and running with the ball is not allowed. The players must pass the ball into a semi-circle surrounding the opposing teams goal where they can shoot.
The Irish Olympic Handball Association runs Senior Men’s and Ladies Leagues as well as Schools competitions.
