Throw-ins
A throw-in is awarded to an opponent when
one team loses the ball out-of-bounds on a
sideline. The defense must be three meters
away when the ball is thrown in. The player
must have both feet touching the court during
the throw-in.
Penalties
A free throw is given for the minor
infringements of the rules. The free throw is
taken immediately, without the referee handling
the ball, from the place the violation occurred.
The defense must remain three meters away.
The thrower must have one foot continuously in
contact with the court, and must make a throw
or pass within three seconds. A goal must be
scored directly from a free throw.

Penalties
If a minor foul occurs between the goal line and
the free throw line, the free throw is taken from
the free throw line just opposite from where the
foul took place. A penalty throw is given for
personal fouls of a more serious nature. The
majority of penalty throws are given when an
offensive player is fouled when shooting. A
penalty throw is not awarded, however, unless
the referee feels that the offense had a sure
chance to score when fouled.The officials follow
the "advantage" rule:

Penalties
If a team fouled against is able to gain the
advantage, play continues without a penalty.
When the penalty throw is taken, one foot must
remain in contact with the floor behind the
seven-meter line until the ball is released. All
the other players must stand beyond the nine-
meter line and the opposing players must
remain three meters from the thrower.

Suspension
Un-sportsman-like conduct, unusually rough
play or intentionally repeating three (3)
personal fouls results in a free throw for the
opponents and the player will have a two
minute suspension from the game. During a
suspension, the suspended player's team must
play with one less player.
Team Handball is very well known around the world but it is not
that popular in North America.
The sport was developed in three European countries.
The game began much more like soccer but it changed to the use
of hands instead of feet.
(continued)
Later on in the mid early 90’s the competition of team handball was
entered into the Olympics.
The game started to be played in different ways as it grew to be
played in more countries.
They changed the name of the sport to field handball because
another game was being called team handball. But most people still
call it by its original name.
