HISTORY OF PLAYING TEAM HANDBALL
Team Handball has been around since 600 B.C., when a version of the popular game was
found on a tomb in Athens. More likely it has been around since human started the technology to
make a ball, and challenge friends. There is evidence that the modern version towards the end of the
1800’s in Germany. Team Handball was played indoors. Moreover the games of URANIA played by
the ancient Greeks, and “HARPASTON” (130-200 A.D.) played by the Romans as well as the
“FANBALLSPIEL” or catch ball game featured in the songs of the German lyrical poet Walther Von
Der Vgelweidie (1170-1230), all contained certain features that can be described as ancient forms of
handball.
Modern handball was first played towards at the end of the 19th century. The real emenated
from Denmark, Germany and Sweden. The founding fathers of field handble were probably German
physical education experts who gained recognition for field handball and separate sport at the turn of
the century, based on the games of the “Rafball”. In Sweden, G. Wallstrom introduced his country to
a certain sport named “Handball” in 1910.
In 1928, the sport’s international governing body was formed as the Federation International Handball
Amateur, and took its correct name in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1943 as the International Handball
Federation. The first president was Avey Brundage an American who went on to become president of
the International Olympic Committee.
The sport us now played all over the world and was reintrofuced as an Olympic event in the
20th Olmpiad (1972 Munich Games).

HISTORY OF PLAYING FOOTBALL
It is the greatest and most popular sport in the world. It is an industry worth billions and is
watched on every continent on the globe. From toddlers kicking a ball whilst the try figure out their co-
ordination through to adults who make a living from it, it is a sport that can be played by virtually
anyone. Yet what is the history of the beautiful game? When did it begin? How has it developed over
the years? What does the future hold for football?
We’ll try to answer those questions as best we can in this section of the site. This won’t be a
comprehensive article, if for no other reason than you won’t have time to read it all and the content
would be enough to fit several books. Thankfully we’ve already written several more in-depth articles
on a lot of the key bits of information, so where possible we’ll refer you to them if you want to read
more about any given topic. Without further ado, then, here’s our piece on the history of football
Football Origins
When talking about the origins of football it’s important to draw up a distinction between the
game as we know it today and any sport that involved using your feet to kick a ball. That’s because if
you’re talking purely about the latter then you’ll travel all the way back to the second and third
centuries BC in your search for a reference to a game played with the feet.
The Chinese military used to play a game called Tsu' Chu, which involved the kicking of a ball
made of leather and filled with hair and feathers through a small opening and into a net. The player
wasn’t allowed to use their hands bud had to make use of their body in order to hold off opponents
who were trying to put them off by jumping on top of them. So a lot like playing against a Tony Pulis
team.
About 500 years later the Japanese invented a game called Kemari. This was less adversarial and
more about working as a team to stop the ball from touching the ground. Like a more organised
version of keepie-uppie, this game is still played today.

Ancient Greece had a game called Episkyros, which involved using the feet, and the Romans had
their own sport known as Harpastum. This involved trying to get the ball across boundary lines in the
opposition’s half of the pitch and was popular for nearly a century. They did introduce the game into
Britain but it’s unlikely to have had any real influence on modern day football.
No, today’s game takes its origins from a decision in 1863 for rugby football and association football
to go their separate ways. That was when the rules of the game began to be formalised, though there
are reports of games of football being played as early as 1581 in schools in England. The first
documented use of the word ‘football’ actually happened as long ago as 1409!
This is one of those topics that we’ve covered in more detail elsewhere, see our article
on founder members of the football league, so we won’t repeat ourselves too much here. We’ll give
you a brief overview of why the league was formed and how it was made up, though.
Before the formation of the football league there wasn’t much structure to how games were organised
or who played whom. Teams would sort out their own games and cup matches, regularly ignoring the
FA’s rules that professionals weren’t allowed to take part. In 1885 the Football Association buckled
under the pressure and officially allowed the game to turn professional.
This proved to be a turning point for the game, in more ways than one. Where previously things had
been slightly disorganised it now became absolute mayhem. Canny chairmen realised that they could
increase their club’s income by having more and more games, from cup matches to inter-county
matches to simple run-of-the-mill games, things were going on all of the time.
In 1888 William McGregor, the director of Aston Villa, decided to see if there was some interest to the
idea of formalising proceedings a little. The night before that season’s FA Cup final he organised a
meeting of clubs from the North and the Midlands. They decided to meet again in Manchester the
following month. At that follow-up meeting a formalised vision of league football was decided upon
and named the Football League.
The first clubs to take part in this football league were Burnley, Aston Villa, Stoke (the forerunners of
modern day Stoke City), Blackburn Rovers, Preston North End, Accrington, Everton, Bolton

Wanderers, Notts County, Derby County, West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Of
those sides only Accrington are no longer in existence today.
