Who can play the game ? and The Field

Who can play the game ?
Virtually anyone. You don't need to be a towering giant with arms the size of tree trunks to play (although that is certainly an advantage). The rules are virtually the same for the men's and women's game: only the size of the ball is different. And for children, the ball is smaller again.
The Field
Handball is played on a field forty meters long by twenty meters wide with a dividing line in the middle and a goal in the center of either end. The goals are surrounded by a near-semicircular line that is generally six meters away from the goal. There is also a dashed near-semicircular line that is nine meters away from the goal.
