WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE FOR ARMY MEN'S TEAM HANDBALL
Here's what team handball is. "Six guys on each team, plus a goalie. It's part basketball, part soccer, part hockey, part arena football, part roller derby. The idea is to penetrate the defense — slashing and dribbling only occasionally — like trying to get through a police barrier. Then fire a cantaloupe-sized ball into the goal in the manner of throwing a brick through a window" (Lopresti 2008). It is the most popular international sport never heard of in the United States. Most Americans have even at least heard of cricket, but not Team Handball. Army Team Handball's goal is to change all that. We play an exciting style of fast-breaks and quick points. Come watch our games you will see what we mean.
