Although Beach Handball is only 15 years old, it has quickly become just as popular as beach volleyball, beach soccer, and other traditional beach sports due to its intense, thrilling action. In Beach Handball competitions, only four players are allowed on the court, three regular players and one goalkeeper. Most female players compete in bikinis, showing off their excellent physiques. Male players wear sleeveless shirts and shirts, showing off their powerful, well muscled shoulders and backs. Due to Beach Handball’s status as “Recreational Entertainment”, some rules may seem a bit random, such as the goalkeeper’s ability to act as a member of the offense at any time, and defensive players ability to act as the goalkeeper at any time, but the ratio of 4 out of 8 must be maintained. Players can be substituted for one another at any time. Beach Handball is a team sport, with each team attempting to throw the ball into the other team’s goal.
