Rules of the Game (Beach Handball)

These Rules of the Game will take effect on 01 March 2010. For the sake of simplicity, this rule book generally uses the male form of words with respect to female and male players, officials, referees, and other persons. However, the rules apply equally to both female and male participants, except Rule 3 (the size of the ball). The Philosophy of Beach Handball is based on the principles of “Fair Play”. Every decision has to be taken in accordance with these principles.
