    The only thing that I can tell you is that the size of the ball is like the size of a cantaloupe or a honeydew melon.

    There's 6 positions- just like hockey, with a goalie, two defenders, and 3 forwards.

    You must pass the ball to the teammates throughout your possession. There are calls such as traveling, etc.

    There's a line that goes around an area that's just like a 3-point line basketball.

    There's a line that's 9 meters away from the goal that's just like a penalty shot in soccer.

    Basically, the sport is a mixture of hockey, basketball, and soccer, or in other countries, sockeyball.

    handball is great, i remember back in middle school when i played it. Though, when we played it wasnt that organized, we just had two teams and our coach just told us to play.
