(i) Basic skills of Handball: 

1. Pass: A pass, basic element of play, is an essential move in handball. The ball may be passed or thrown to a teammate in various ways, such as overhead pass, underarm pass, bounce pass, hook pass, jump pass, etc. The speed and accuracy of passes is often the gauge of a team’s skill level. 

2. Jump-Throw : The shooter jumps up to throw at the goal. To be effective, the jump throw should be preceded by a run up (maximum of three steps). It is nothing less powerful than the standing throw. Jump-throw is more accurate and allows the player to have direct shot at the goal, as player jumps above the defender, who might otherwise block the ball. 

3. Fall Away-Throw : The fall away-throw is a spectacular variation of the jumpthrow. It is used for throws over goalpost from the wings (at the edge of the goal area). The shooter jumps up and just before he throws, he twists laterally so that he is almost horizontal in the air and then throws. 

4. Dribble : It is a skill of controlling the ball from opponents, to keep the possession of the ball by bouncing. A good dribbling skill often dodges or fakes to approaching opponent. 

(ii) Time-outs: A time-out is obligatory when: Each team has the right to receive one 1- minute team time-out in each half of the regular playing time, but not in overtime

• consultations between the referees are necessary 

(iii) Running : A player with ball is not allowed to run or move more than 3 steps without dribbling the ball otherwise fault of running is given to opponent.
