A. Handball as an Active Recreation
● Aside from basketball and volleyball, handball could also be one
of the team sports that can serve as a recreational activity. This
team sport is easy to understand if you are familiar with how
basketball and football are being played.

● Handball is a combination of the elements of football and

basketball. It almost has the dimensions of a basketball court and
the rules of football except that it is the other way around, the
players are not allowed to use their feet in controlling the ball.
Instead, players must use the skills like passing, dribbling, and
shooting almost just like in basketball. It consists of six players
(and one goalie).
The following are the basic ways how to play
handball:
1. The ball is moved down and up on the floor that is larger than a basketball court and
your objective is to make a score, and this can be done by throwing a ball past the
goalkeeper.
2. A successful scoring attempts results in a single point.
3. The only player who is allowed to step into the goal area is the goalie.
4. The team who will start the game with a throw-ff is determined through a toss coin.
5. The game is played in halves. Each half is played within 30 minutes.
6. Each team is given one timeout call per half. Referees discretion, timeouts, or injuries
stop the clock.
 Handball rules:

Players are allowed to: Players are not allowed to:

1. dribble the ball for an unlimited
amount of time.
2. Run with the ball before and after
dribbles.
3. Hold the ball without moving for
three seconds.
1. Endanger an opponent with the
ball to avoid any untoward
incident during the game.
2. Pull,hit, or punch the ball out of
the hands of an opponent.
3. contact the ball below the knees
B. Badminton as an Active Recreation
Another sport that can also be a recreational activity is badminton.

● Badminton is an individual-dual sport and is

also a good and enjoyable recreational activity.

● As a recreation, you will only focus on trying

to hit the shuttlecock over the net and within
the bounds of the court.

● If you are playing this game in the streets, your

objective is to hit the shuttlecock just for fun
of playing it.
