Handball for adults?

August 16, 2006

Looks like a kiddies game called “kickball” which is big in the school yards of America (never heard of it myself) is booming amongst adults, at least according to MSNBC. Which begs the question for Australian readers, will handball be the next big Australian sport? Certainly I spent many, many lunch breaks playing and observing the Quintessential Australian school yard game as I was growing up. It wasn’t of course just about playing it, it was also the social thing around it…ok, I’m being old again, I’m reminiscing….time to be quite 🙂

  1. I love handball actually. Kickball is alright. Not a huge fan.

  2. We’re probably talking about a different type of handball though, this is what we call handball:

    check out the Australian section, we also played a version off a wall at school as well.
