Talk:Handball

message: Since I joined Wikipedia, I have wondered why there is no WikiProject Handball. If anyone would be interested in starting such a project, please comment on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sports. Mentoz86 (talk) 12:40, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject Handball? 

message: There is little information on where the sport is popular, where professional leagues are based etc, as there is for many other sport's articles. Would it be a good idea to include this as many English speaking people will be coming across the sport for the first time during the Olympics?  1 August 2012  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.148.198.138 (talk) 09:30, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Link to rules of the game 

message: There must be information on this. (And if I'm not mistaken, there WAS when I read this article a couple of months or years ago.) Here in Germany and many other continental European countries, handball is the second most popular team sport, whereas in most English-speaking countries it's not popular at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.83.238.146 (talk) 00:24, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

message: The article seems to be self-contradictory regarding rights of the goalkeeper. Section #Summary says that Goalkeepers are allowed outside the goal area, but are not allowed to possess the ball across the goal area boundary (underlining mine). However, section #Goalkeeper says that The goalkeepers may participate in the normal play of their teammates.  They may be substituted by a regular field player if their team elects to use this scheme in order to outnumber the defending players. An anon has recently added something to that effect, : " The goalkeeper can freely move outside when his team is playing offense.".
As far as I know, the IP is right, and goalkeeper can freely participate in offense. However, that means that #Summary section is wrong (or I misunderstood it, but then it needs clarification). No such user (talk) 08:42, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The summary has what seems to be an old statement, or at least a clear onde. The GK can atack like other player (even if not replaced by a field mate), but there are some restrictions: They cannot cross the goal area boundary line (both ways) with the ball in the hands, and cannot pick a ball that is on the floor outside the goal are, if the GK is inside. Players cannot pass the ball to the GK if he is inside the goal area.Scblaster (talk) 21:22, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I think this could expand the article. There is a wide variety of them. There are different classifications.
*"Non-contextual shots " This represents the vast majority of shots. All they demand is the correct input.
**Standard Shot : Regular shot taken over the shoulder
**Hip Shot (left & right): shots taken at the height of the hip
**Jump Shot: Jumping variant of the standard shot
**Jumping Hip shots (left & right): Jumping variant of the hip shots
*"Contextual Shots" These are shots that will activate only if all conditions are met. For example if a ball has good rotation and manages to hit the ground (before GK touches it) it will change direction and circle around the GK.
:*Spin Shots (left & right):The input needs to hip-shot left (or jumping variant) when on the right of the field and vice versa.
:*"skip shot" - similar to waterpolo shot; when ball hits the floor just before the GK - GK goes down and ball goes up in the empty net; very, very rarely used because it's risky, usually as a form of surprise

message: There is very little information in the article regarding the adhesive substance used in handball (handball glue/resin?). Can someone with sufficient knowledge on the subject write a section on it's rules/different types/history?
