While all CSSC leagues are fun first, winning second, let’s face it, scoring is fun! When you step out on to that court, primal nature takes over and the need to score is fierce. There’s just one problem, it’s not always that easy!
You see this small net with very few openings and wonder how you are supposed to get the ball through. Well, there are a few strategies to try to give your team the edge.
One small step with the ball to deke the defender, a large step to get away, a pivot to find a teammate on the other side of the defender, and a second pivot to go the other way. The lane opens up and a great pass is made to a teammate down the court! Sadly, the play is called as traveling, and possession turned over to the opponent. Why?! Due to a violation of the 3 step rule.
If you’ve watched any kind of competitive Handball, you know it’s an aggressive sport. Players are pushing, pulling, and grabbing to try and gain an advantage. However, one of the biggest differences between CSSC Handball and most other Handball being played is the level of body contact. To keep with our fun first attitude, we’ve implemented a NO CONTACT rule that takes the physicality out of the game. So what exactly does that mean and how does it affect your gameplay?
