Review
""This is an excellent introductory textbook on the sport of team handball written by two American-trained physical educators who have played and coached the sport at the highest levels. It presents sport skill components sequentially in an easily read, understood, and implemented fashion. A beginning teacher or coach can learn what to look for, what works, and what does not. I like the reminders and hints on errors and corrections for success.""
Michael D. Cavanaugh
Executive Director
U.S. Team Handball Federation
""Teachers who want to introduce the exciting game of team handball to their students will find this book very helpful. A popular sport in Europe, team handball is growing in popularity in the U.S, too. Since it is a new interest, a good reference is essential. The authors are experienced players (national level) and excellent teachers, and their sections on team strategy should be especially useful to beginning teams and coaches. The assessment material is also valuable.""

""A very good basic book giving coaches and teachers a lot of help. The authors use their broad experience to advantage, methodically explaining how to learn the tactics and skills of handball. This is the first book of its kind in English.""

""This thorough and well-structured book provides many practical hints and exercises. Its language is very clear and entertaining. Trainers will find this an excellent reference, and players also can work through this bookindependently.""

Book Description
Join the growing number of people who are discovering the fun and excitement of team handball! With more points scored than soccer and more continuous action than basketball, team handball has been a popular international sport for years, and now its popularity is on the rise in the United States. No wonder--this fast-paced team sport lets players take full advantage of their running, jumping, and throwing abilities.
Written by two former U.S. Olympic players and expert coaches, Team Handball: Steps to Success presents 12 easy-to-follow steps to becoming an accomplished player.
Each step is an easy transition from the one before. The first steps provide a solid foundation of basic skills and concepts. As players progress, they'll learn how to combine these skills to attack the goal, decide when to pass and when to shoot, and support their teammates when attacking and defending. The final steps show how teammates can organize as a unit in attack and on defense and how good communication contributes to the effectiveness of the team.
Team Handball: Steps to Success features 62 drills that develop players' shooting, dribbling, passing, and catching skills. The drills come with performance goals and a list of key points to remember in executing them. Plus, many drills include instructions for increasing or decreasing the difficulty of the drill.
By studying the book's 187 illustrations and following the simple instructions, players will learn
- why each skill or concept is important,
- the keys to proper technique,
- how to analyze and correct common errors,
- how to practice the skills in game-like situations, and
- how to check their progress.
The book's appendixes explain the basic rules of the game and show how to modify a given floor space to create a team handball court.
Part of the highly popular Steps to Success Series, this book will help players learn the game quickly and provide the foundation for their future development.

Excellent for Physical Educators,
By Lisa Farley (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Team Handball (Paperback)
This book was instrumental in our decision to teach Team Handball to our Physical Education Majors at Butler University in Indianapolis. Besides the fact that the book spells out the sport step-by-step, there are many useful tips and drills to aid in the teaching process. In addition, I know Reita Clanton and know her to be one of the most professional, knowledgable and personable people I have met. She has done wonders for the sport, and continues to promote the learning through this text. It is a must for physical educators of all levels.

Pretty Good,
By Not a Name (Not a Town, Not a State, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Team Handball (Paperback)
I liked this book, it was well written, fun to read and it really helped my game. What I didn't like is that all the teqhniques used in this are very complex for even me, an advanced player. But most of all it was very helpful.

I am not sure that this is good book..,
By B. Novak - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Team Handball (Paperback)
I just want to mention that defensive check is not shown good, as a 10 year handball player I could say that.
