# Handball

> A browser game of real handball — the wall game played with the hands, not Olympic team handball. Free to play at https://handball.theperfectship.com/.

Play one-wall, three-wall or four-wall handball against AI bots, grind a Career from C to B to A, play online, or study the official USHA rules. Tennis-like pace and movement, but you strike the ball with your hand.

## Main menu

- **Tournament Play** — a Career from a C player up to B (win a tournament) and finally A.
- **Park Play** — a quick match against a bot; opens on One-Wall with a Big Blue ball. Singles, doubles or cutthroat.
- **Practice · How to Play** — hit to yourself, skills drills, the trainer, the tutorial and the controls reference.
- **Spectate** — watch bots play.
- **Referee Training** — practise officiating and take written exams.
- **Play Online** — multiplayer.
- **Settings** — controls (keyboard and mouse, controller, on-screen stick, tilt, webcam), accessibility, audio.
- **Credits** — the USHA acknowledgement and the open-source software used.

## Controls

Keyboard and mouse, a Bluetooth or USB controller (Xbox, PlayStation), touch (on-screen stick or tilt to move), or a webcam. Pick one on the Controls screen before each match.
