I feel like only the new york kids know what I mean.

Does anyone else know what handball is?

and do you know a sport that no one else seems to know?

A lot of colleges have rugby in America--in fact, it's very popular as a women's sport here, probably due to a law known as Title IV which requires equal sports funding for men and women.

As for not-ice hockey ( _smile.gif ), I believe you mean something similar to field hockey in America, which we have; but unlike the rest of the world, field hockey in America is primarily a women's-only sport, and has very little body contact--definitely much less than how the rest of the world plays field hockey.

As for this thread, do you mean handball as in the sport that is played in the Olympics that is similar to soccer (aka football), but the ball is carried rather than kicked?

I played it in boston with my friends..... it was fun... my dad introduced it to us, and he's from Long Island, so tht's where we got it from..... wasn't real popular, but was fun

I used to play handball every morning with Jue (RoarxD) Then we became lazy, and just sat down and ate each time.
