American Handball

[Ravenfreak]

Have you ever played American handball before? I remember a local park had a handball court that was rarely used since it was covered with graffiti. I remember I got in trouble trying to walk over to it when I was in elementary school since it was off school property. xD I never actually played handball before though. I didn't even know there was a difference between handball here in America versus Handball in other countries until now. :V

My husband plays handball.. but where we are now there are no handball courts in the parks nearby so he can't play now..

What I find really interesting is the handball they play at the Olympics.. it is completely different than the American version and it is just so interesting to watch.

I forgot the name of it and the country that was playing at the time but I know that my family and I were transfixed by it when we were flipping channels.. lol

Nope, its not really a thing where I live. At least not that I've noticed.

You might have have luck finding a handball court near a school or at a playground near a school..

My parents played handball when we lived in Brooklyn and often as a team against another set of parents who lived in the same building.. and although the playgrounds in front of and between our buildings had a handball courts, of their own, the schools that were nearby also had them as well. The kids used to play suicide which was risky because if you got caught doing it during recess, you could be suspended. But the kids always played that way regardless..
