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."
Judith C. Young
U.S. Team Handball Federation Board of Directors
Executive Director, National Association for Sport and Physical Education

"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."
Claes Hellgren
1996 U.S. Olympic Team Handball Head Coach

"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 book independently."
Raymond Hahn
Secretary General
International Handball Federation

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Physical Educators, April 10, 2000

By	Lisa Farley (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars I am not sure that this is good book.., July 10, 2006

By	B. Novak - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just want to mention that defensive check is not shown good, as a 10 year handball player I could say that.
