Team Handball Anyone?

[Doug]

I met a lady who played this professionaly in China from age 15 to 30, touring outside of China, so she wants to marry outside. She now coaches a middle school and goes to tournements within China. I NEVER EVER heard of this game, except the hand raquetball version we play. Any of you ?? Looks like a cross between hocky and basketball? They even take it serious . 7 on a side at a time. Geez she could kick my ass.

It's a great game, very physical. They go for taller strong women. I know a woman in Changzhou, Jiangsu, who was a member of the 1996 China Olympic Women's Handball team. I think China took 5th in that Olympics. China has never done very well on the Global competitive market, but they always excel at the Asian games. My friend is also currently a handball coach for the Jiangsu province Women's handball team, and also currently coaches handball in a middle school.
