[|NOtes for Pre Al Project] Handball - 6096 mm (20') x 2438 mm (8'), 6096 mm (20') x 3048 mm (10') ( Florida Style Wall )

Handball is played on a court which is 40 m long by 20 wide

What is used to play handball in Florida isn't actually called a handball court. It is actually a racquet ball court. These are a way smaller court, but the distance from out line to out line is the same distance. Only that the court is surrounded by walls. The ball isnt allowed outside the three walls. Indoor courts have a fourth wall and you must enter through a door. Handball court walls which are still called and are made for handball in New York are way bigger. I never noticed that. These courts are 40 meters long and 20 meters wide. These courts aren't surrounded by two other walls. You can angle the ball so that the player is forced out the court to chase the ball to keep the ball in play, which is an advantage to the other competitor. I am more used to these types of courts. As a New York player the Florida courts were a hard transition. It was actually hard to find sites on the dimensions of the two different types of walls. There weren't informational sites on the subject. Which is why I found a lot of discussion types of website that spoke about the subject. I guess other students across America were doing this type of report and were cluelessd too. In the beginning of this project I had the impression that there were many different types of dimensions, and also thought there were two different measured types of handball courts in New York City alone. Turns out I was wrong. There is only three different types of "handball courts", and two of the types are from Florida.
