The team
At school level we can play 4 X 4, 5X5, 6X6….But inter primary competition is played 6X6, that is
1 goalkeeper and 5 eld players. Four substitutes are allowed. Substitution can be made at any
time in the match during a stoppage of play, with the approval of the referee.
Dimension of the eld
For practice any play area may be used, but should be free of hazards. For instance one can use:
a volleyball / basketball court, an open at surface or a regular football eld. But for Mini Handball
the play area should be at least 30 m x 15 m. A regular Handball court is 40 m x 20 m.
