THE OFFICIAL SITE OF USA TEAM HANDBALL The Sport of Team Handball History Simplified Rules Video Clips History Team Handball originated in Europe in the1900s and recognizes over 140 countries as members of the International handball Federation (IHF). Handball first appeared in the Olympics in the 1936 Berlin Games as an outdoor sport, with 11 players on a side. It was not played again at the Olympic games until 1972, where it was played indoors with 7 players on each side. Women’s handball was added to the Olympic Games in 1976. Simplified Rules of the Game Object of the Game Handball combines the elements of soccer and basketball, as six players move the ball down a floor that is larger than a basketball court and try to score by throwing the ball past a goalkeeper into the net. A successful scoring attempt results in the award of a single point. Typical final scores in this action-packed game run in the mid twenties. A regulation game is played in 30 minute halves with one team timeout per half. A coin toss determines which team starts the game with a throw-off. The clock stops only for team timeouts, injuries, and at the referee’s discretion.

Team Handball Team handball is one of the seven nationally popular sports in Special Olympics. It is a sport that is played on a court slightly larger than the size of a basketball court and is often described as water polo on dry land. The sport is fast-paced and requires agility, body control and strength. Athletes also have to react quickly as they are only allowed to take three steps while in possession of the ball or hold the ball for five seconds without moving. Team handball promotes excellent physical conditioning and a good working knowledge of team play. Good strategy planning and training are essential to successful competition in team handball. There are currently 2,251 athletes from 26 Programs from around the world participating in the sport. WORLD GAMES HISTORY Eleven teams participated in the 1999 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. HIGHLIGHTS Two Special Olympics athletes, Rashad Pope and Price Lanier, are currently training with a group of Olympic athletes in team handball. These two athletes are vying to be chosen as members of the U.S. National Team for international competitions and competed for selection for the 2000 USA Olympic Team Handball Squad. This marks the first time in the 30-year history of the Special Olympics movement that Special Olympics athletes have made a national-level team.

Academy News : November 1998 New study reports asthma prevalence in 1996 U.S. Summer Olympic athletes At least one in six athletes representing the United States in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta had a history of asthma, according to a study published today in the November issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Researchers at the University of Iowa and the U.S. Olympic Committee sought to examine how many athletes in the 1996 Olympic Games had a history of asthma, had taken asthma medications or had symptoms that suggested asthma. To examine asthma prevalence, John Weiler, M.D., FAAAAI, University of Iowa professor of internal medicine, and his co-authors analyzed responses from an extensive, mandatory medical history questionnaire required of all U.S. athletes competing in the 1996 Olympic Games. The questionnaire was completed during team processing in Atlanta two weeks prior to participation in the Olympic Games and responses were reviewed with each athlete. The questionnaire, designed by the U.S. Olympic Committee Sports Medicine Division with input from Weiler and his colleagues, included specific questions regarding allergic and respiratory disorders. Although 4-7% of the general population is reported to have asthma, the number of athletes who reported asthma was considerably higher. Out of the 699 athletes who completed the questionnaire, 117 (16.7%) were found to have a history of asthma, use of asthma medications, or both. Seventy-three (10.4%) of the athletes had active asthma, based on their need for asthma medication at the time of the questionnaire or their need for medication on a permanent or semi-permanent basis.

History of Handball (or Team Handball) Team handball originated in the 1890s when a German gymnastics instructor, Konrad Koch, developed the structure and rules of the game. After World War II (1939-1945) team handball became a popular recreation activity in many academic institutions in Western Europe. The first international match was played in 1925 in Halle, Germany, between teams from Austria and Germany. The game was introduced at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin as the 11-player outdoor game. When it was reintroduced at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, West Germany, it was as the 7-player indoor game. Team handball world championships were first held in 1938 for men and in 1949 for women. In both men's and women's competition, teams from Germany, the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the former Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary, Sweden, and France traditionally have had the most success, although South Korea won the women's gold medal at the 1988 and 1992 Olympics.

THE HISTORY OF FIBA AND INTERNATIONAL BASKETBALL USA Basketball Committees USA Basketball Staff Bios About USA Basketball Constitution of USA Basketball ... USA Basketball History Although Dr. James Naismith is recognized for inventing the game of basketball in December 1891, it wasn't until June 18, 1932, in Geneva, Switzerland that an international federation concerned with just basketball was formed. Then, less than three years later on February 28, 1935, the International Basketball Federation (FIBB) was officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) helping clear the way for men's basketball to become part of the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympic Games. Actually, the first international body to claim jurisdiction over the sport of basketball was the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF), which in 1926 formed a special commission to govern all ball games played with the hands, such as field-handball, court-handball, volleyball and basketball. Two years later during the Games of the IXth Olympiad held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the IAAF invited representatives from various national associations to consider the forming of an independent body to govern all ball games played with hands. Representatives from 10 countries met in Amsterdam on August 4, 1928 and decided to form the International Amateur Handball Federation (IAHF).
