Question

(a)What area comprises the safety zone in a Handball court? 

(b) Define A passive-play 

Answer 1

(a)  There is a safety zone surrounding the playing court with a width of metre atleast along the side lines and 2 metres behind the goal lines.

(b) If the attacking team does not make sufficient progress, the referee can call passive play, turning control over to the other team. Thus it is not allowed to keep the ball in possession without making any attempt to attack or to shoot on the goal.
