This is Handball

Here is a photo of the mens league playing Handball. The ball looks like a soccer ball but is alot smaller in size. The goal pretty much of the game is to throw the ball as hard as you can into the goal. That is why you are suppose to jump when you are throwing because it gives you more power. The uniforms are just regular shorts, and you have a team t-shirt that you wear. Some people wear pads on their knees and elbows in this game but its optional. I dont know what else to say about Handball really other than it is alot harder than it looks...well for me anyway. My body doesnt quite think of jumping in the air and throwing a ball. For practice we had to work hard at the technique of how to jump. Its like in track when you are stretching your legs and you jump forward kicking one leg as hard as you can back... now you do that move while you bring the ball overhead and throw it into the goal... now I didnt describe it very hard but for soem reason during practice I could not jump and throw at the same time.. I would either throw than jump, or jump/land and than throw... eventually I got the hang of it. They put me on defense at first to practice and some of the girls can throw the ball so quick and move so quickly that you dont even know whats happening until it already did... I swear this one girl jumped over my head and threw it in the goal.. than again she had a good 2 feet on me. I like being able to play a game that not alot of people know about, it makes me feel differnt or just that much more skilled than other people. I am not good at playing but I am okay, it will take me a little more time to grasp the whole concept and rules of the game but it will come.
