    Team Handball (and "northern" America)

    Hey you all over there,

    I just wanted to ask if you knew Team Handball, and if yes, is it played in you school/university/whatever? Is it an "exotic" sport in the US (and Canada?) ?
    I think it's a very dynamic sport that requires athletics as well as very keen skills with the ball., and is also very entertaining to watch.
    Here's a compilation of some nice goals/saves.... though the last 3 or 4 scenes are pretty standard (I think they are from the video author's team )

    Yep I know, in Europe (especially in Scandinavia, eastern Europe, Germany, France and Spain), it's huge. Like in the top 3-5 sports huge.
    That's why I wanted to know from Americans/non-Europeans, sorry if that wasn't clear enough.

    NYC here and we played this during gym class in high school.. so it's not totally foreign

    except.. it wasn't "hey, lemme try and score a goal".. it was more like "hey, lemme see if i can bean the goalie in the face"

    fun times

    I love handball, it's a lot of fun imo.

    I'd play it more if there were more local interest.
