I have played handball for 6 or 7 years, in the end it lost its fun a bit because I had a bunch of injuries like torn ligaments in the ankles, and playing in the "adult" league (I started with 13 or so) was annoying. we called it the "beer belly league", most of them were oil tanker sized guys in their 40's and their strategy was simply to throw full force right towards your head (because they had no endurance for real playing), so you had only 2 options: broken nose and losing some teeth or duck and cover....which often ended in mass fights, our whole team was banned repeatedly from playing.
