Handball

Handball is played in the racquetball courts.  Six courts are available with great viewing areas.

The National Handball Championships

took place at Cedar Springs in May 2010.

 Equipment

A typical outfit worn during the game includes protective gloves, court shoes, athletic shorts  and googles.  Eye protection is required in tournament handball, as the ball moves at high speeds and in close range. It is rarely used in "street" handball, however, where the softer "big blue" ball is usually used.

The black or blue rubber ball, 2.3 ounces (65 g) in mass/weight and 1.875 inches (4.76 cm) in diameter (smaller, heavier, and harder than a racquetball), is hit with the gloved palm (informal games often don’t include gloves).
