Handball is huge here in Sweden and the arena where they play in our area is very close to our house. I had been itching to check it out. W's family was also interested in seeing it played and, as luck would have it, there was a large handball tournament going on while they were here. All week around town we saw teams from all over Sweden and some neighboring countries.
Handball is a cross between netball and football (non-American)... or basketball and soccer... and it goes very fast. You use your hands to catch and throw the ball but the goal is kind of like a soccer goal although maybe in size it is more like an ice hockey goal... or... well, you get the idea. It isn't hard to understand how it is played, it is very close to several sports we already know. How's that for a good explanation?
