Supervision • Constant visual supervision during initial skill instruction. • On-site supervision is recommended following initial skill instruction and after all safety concerns have been emphasized Instructional Considerations • Student athletes should be taught to respect “air rights.” Players may jump from outside the goal area, hang in the air over the goal area, and shoot the ball before contacting the floor. They cannot interfere with game action after landing in the circle and must exit in the shortest route possible. Equipment/Facilities • Court size should be 40m by 20m. A safety zone outside the court should be 1m on the sidelines and 2m on the endline. • The game may be played indoors in the gym, outdoors on grass, or any rectangular paved area. • If the court size needs to be modified, the width is more important than the length to preserve the goal area. • Regulation team handball nets or futsal nets should be used. • Ball hockey nets may also be used as goals. • Goals should not be fastened to the floor or wall. • A loose mesh is required on the goal. • Portable and collapsible goals must have all the required bolts and joint fasteners. • Regulation team handball balls should be used in competition.
