Team handball is played by two teams of seven players each.
Without the benefit of pads, players hit or knock each other as they run down the court. Furman University has joined the Southeast Team Handball Conference which also consists of Presbyterian College, Benedict College, Lander University, Georgia Tech, Georgia Southern, Emory University and Georgia State. Furman has men's and women's teams, and both are coached by Owen McFadden, the director of recreational sports, who also helped start the program by recruiting players. Also assisting in coaching is sophomore Emily Smith. The first games were hosted by Presbyterian College on Oct. 29th.
