Extractions: History of Team Handball Team Handball was developed in Denmark in the early 1900's as a way to keep soccer players in good physical shape during Scandinavian winter months. An indoor sport using the same skills was essential to the ongoing training of soccer players. Team Handball was presented as an outdoor demonstration sport at both the 1928 Amsterdam Games and the 1932 Los Angeles Games. In the 1936 Berlin Games, Team Handball officially became a full medal sport. In 1959, Team Handball was introduced in the United States, with the formation of the United States Team Handball Federation (USTHF). Men's Team Handball was added to the Olympic program in the 1972 Munich Games and converted back to an indoor event. Women's Team Handball became an Olympic event at the 1976 Montreal Games. National Team Handball for women in the United States began in 1974. The United States women's team first qualified for the 1984 Los Angeles Games. The women, who were led by Leora "Sam" Jones, barely missed winning a medal by tieing for 4th place. At the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis, the women defeated Canada to win the gold medal. At the 1988 Seoul Games, the women placed 7th. The women's team participated in the 1992 Games in Barcelona and finished 6th out of 8 teams.

Slightly Tenuous Link And so it is with Lughnasa Handball Club. Picture the opening credits of Star Wars Episode IV and you have pretty much got the panoramic view of Irish handball. Pre-1990 Irish handball was in a very healthy state, let's call it "the Old Republic". The President of the time was a kind and generous benefactor. Mini handball was booming, many young Jedi's were leaving behind the dark ways of soccer and basketball and embracing the light that is Olympic Handball (for so it was named to distinguish it from Irish "wreck your hand banging a ball against a wall" handball). And so it flourished. 16 men's teams playing a standard of Handball that is best forgotten, and 8 women's teams. Life was good in Utopia and it was only with the coming of foreign teams to this shore that there came whispers of unrest. There were some who believed that things were not good and that a time had come for new leadership, younger, more vibrant and so it was that the dark side reared its ugly head in "Olympic Handball Land". Slowly the new "way" usurped the old way and slowly the free teams of "O.H.L." fell to the dominion of the new way and slowly faded into dust. Yet among the desolation there was one, the one who would bring balance to "O.H.".

Extractions: Vol. 09, No. 02 Dear Reader: The International Olympic Committee's recently-published analysis of the Atlanta Olympic Games television coverage in the U.S. indicates that women made up 52% of the American viewing audience. NBC's cumulative audience in 1996 was a whopping 222.7% higher than its Barcelona 1992 audience. Viewership rose in several categories including increases of 46% for all adults aged 50 or older, 35% for women in the 35+ age group, and 31% for women in the 18+ age group. Viewership among young people grew at a much slower rate. For all viewers in the 12- to 24-year-old group there was only a 2% increase. Different strokes for different folks . . . Gymnastics drew the highest television rating among Olympic viewers in the U.S. The top-rated sport in Spain was tennis. In Brazil it was boxing. Germans favored fencing and judo. Italians liked volleyball best. The Chinese tuned into diving. South Koreans were glued to badminton coverage and South Africans to field hockey. Track and field led the way in Canada, France, Hong Kong, Japan and Great Britain. Add Different Strokes . . . Team handball was virtually invisible during NBC's coverage of the Atlanta Olympic Games. In Norway, though, it was big stuff.

Extractions: In New Jersey call Jimmy Buhning on (201) 926-6000 Team Handball combines the skills of running, jumping, catching, and throwing into a fast-moving, exciting game. Elements of soccer, basketball, hockey and water polo all can be seen in team handball. The basic objective of the game is to out maneuver the opponent by passing the ball quickly and then throw the ball past the defense and goalie to score. Team handball has existed in the United States since 1959, but only in the last few years has it been recognized as something entirely different from the YMCA variety of 4 wall handball. The inclusion of team handball in the Olympics in 1972, and for women in 1976 in Montreal has given the sport more exposure. The sport originated in Europe in the late 1920's and is now second only to soccer in popularity. Team Handball is being played in 72 nations on 6 continents with more than 3 million players affiliated with the International Handball Federation (IHF).

Extractions: Before presenting a case study of USA Team Handball, the reader should become oriented with the sport of team handball. Some basic team handball information, including the rules, precedes a brief history. 1. The Game of Team Handball Team handball is a contact-oriented, fast-paced game combining elements of basketball, soccer, hockey, and rugby. It contains many of the components of other exciting sports: a physical nature like football, fast and athletic plays like basketball, even exhilarating saves like hockey (Olympic History: Team Handball, 2001, para. 1). Frequently described as water polo on land, the modern form of team handball originated in Europe in the 1900s and is one of the most popular sports in the world, today. Currently, 140 countries play team handball (About Team Handball, 2001, para. 2). 2. The Rules of Team Handball Like most sports, the basic concept of team handball is easy to decipher from simply watching the game. However, many of the more subtle rules may need explanations. a) Offense in Team Handball b) Defense in Team Handball Defensive players may use their bodies to obstruct an opponent; however, pushing, holding, or hitting from behind an offensive player is illegal. Minor violations result in a throw-in from the spot of the penalty. If the foul occurs between the six-meter line and the nine-meter line, play resumes from the nearest point outside the nine-meter line. Other penalties are progressive and include seven-meter penalty shots, two-minute suspensions, yellow cards, and red cards. The officials (two referees, a scorekeeper, and a timekeeper) make the calls (The Sport of Team Handball, 2001, para. 14).

Adolf Hitler immediately seized on the games as an opportunity to showcase the efficiency and might of his regime. There were doubts in many quarters about the wisdom of attending the Berlin Olympics. An alternative, to be called the "People's Olympics," was actually scheduled for Barcelona, but that plan was destroyed by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. In the United States, a move to boycott the Olympics was led by Judge Jeremiah T. Murphy, president of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). Murphy and his supporters were concerned chiefly about Nazi anti-Semitism, since Jewish sports clubs throughout Germany had been shut down. However, in 1935 the AAU voted by a narrow margin to sanction participation and Murphy resigned. He was replaced by Avery Brundage, who went to Germany on an inspection tour and reported that everything looked just fine. Despite the preliminary doubts and the growing international tensions that were to culminate in World War II, the leaders of the Third Reich were at pains to make these Games a resounding success and welcomed more athletes (4069) from more countries (49) than any previous Olympics to compete in events from August 1 - 16.
