The Handball Words Behind the Puns

Most handball team names hang on a few words from the court. These are the ones behind the names on this page.

Word	What it means
Seven meter throw	Handball’s penalty shot, taken from the seven meter line with only the goalkeeper to beat.
Six meter line	The line around the goal area. Only the goalkeeper may stand inside it, so shooters jump in from outside and release the ball in the air.
Nine meter line	The dashed line further out, where free throws are taken.
Wing	The players on the far left and right who shoot from tight angles near the corners.
Pivot	Also called the line player. The pivot works right on the six meter line, setting screens and catching passes inside the defense.
Backcourt	The three players in the middle of the attack, usually the long range shooters and playmakers.
Steps	A player may take up to three steps while holding the ball. One more is a violation.
Passive play	Holding the ball without trying to attack. The referee raises an arm as a warning before giving the ball to the other team.
Two minute suspension	A common penalty that sends a player off for two minutes, leaving the team short handed.
Resin	Sticky grip paste many players put on their hands to control the ball. Some halls do not allow it.
Spin shot	A shot that bounces and curves away from the goalkeeper. In beach handball, spin shots and in-flight goals count for two points.

How to Pick a Handball Team Name

• Keep it short. Two or three words fit on a jersey and on a tournament bracket.
• Use a handball word like wing, pivot, seven meter or fast break, so the name does not sound like any other ball sport.
• In the US many people think of wall handball first, so a name with team handball words makes it clear what you play.
• If kids teams play at the same tournament, save the cheeky names for adult leagues.
• Say it out loud like the announcer would before a shootout. If it sounds good, keep it.
