Team Handball

An Olympic and popular international sport, team handball is not off the wall. It’s a fast-paced, action-packed team sport that combines the skills used in basketball and baseball. The sport is beginning to catch on in the United States--not surprising, since it combines running, jumping, and throwing, skills emphasized from childhood to U.S. athletes. This new addition to the popular Steps to Success Activity Series is the best instructional book available on the sport. Team Handball: Steps to Success is composed of 12 easy-to-follow steps that help players quickly learn and enjoy the game. The book features 62 drills and 187 illustrations. Former U.S. Olympians Reita Clanton and Mary Phyl Dwight each bring more than 20 years of playing and coaching team handball to this book. The women’s assistant coach for team handball in the 1996 Olympics, Clanton lives in Decatur, Georgia. Dwight, a resident of Raytown, Missouri, is the women’s development coach for the U.S. Team Handball Federation.
