Wheelchair handball
Wheelchair handball is a sport for the disabled who have undergone amputations or injuries to the lower limbs; It is characterized by the complexity of the technical choices-individual and team tactics, which reproduce all the trappings of a handball match for non-disabled people.

Is usually played indoors in a rectangular field (length 40 meters and width 20 meters) with two goals on the shorter sides (width 240 cm-height 160 cm), by dividing the game into two halves of 20 minutes each. The two teams competing are composed of 6 players each (5 plus a goalkeeper) and the object of the game is to score as many goals as possible: the team that makes the most goals wins the match. A few simple rules:

- The player still cannot keep the ball more than 3 seconds without throwing it or have it bounce on the ground. - You can't touch the ball more than once unless it touches the ground or another player. - You can put the ball on his lap when it is pushed with the baby carriage. - You can defend and impede a pass or a shot opponent with arms and hands. - The shot must be made without entering the goalkeeper's area, bounded by a semicircle to 6 meters from the goal. - You can't endanger an opponent if not making a foul.

The basics of the game are thus: dribble, pass, shoot and the parade. Wheelchair handball handball, unlike for people without disabilities, there are other 2 game variations: - 5 vs 5 without doors and with special ports (e.g. in the form of a pyramid or wall that they bounce the ball); aim of each team is to hit and hit the door and later a team-mate, must pick up the ball without letting it bounce on the ground: this is the only way you will get 1 point. It can also be a door with some "holes", within which must be pulled the ball to earn 1 point to their team. - Mixed game 6 vs 6: each team must be composed of 3 guys in wheelchairs and able-bodied players 2 plus a goalie not disabled. The goal is a collaboration between fellows with different abilities: in every action the team must pass the ball at least 2 aimed at a disabled person to conclude on goal. Are awarded 2 points if a player scores in wheelchairs and 1 point if to score was a normal person.
