Wall handball

Japanese: ウォールハンドボール(英語表記)wall handball
Wall handball
A type of ball game. Players compete to score points by hitting a ball against a wall. It began in Ireland around the 10th century, and has been played in the United States and European countries since the 19th century. It was once simply called handball, but as seven-player team handball (handball) played at the Olympic Games became popular, it came to be distinguished by the name wall handball or Irish handball, named after the place where it originated. Pelota, fives, jai alai, and other games are considered to be of the same type. Players compete to score points by taking turns hitting a soft rubber ball against a wall with cloth or leather gloves on. Players hit the ball back after it has bounced once or not, and the game ends when either player fails to return it. The game is played on a 21-point system, with the first player to win two games. The serving team is awarded a point if they win a rally, and the serving right is transferred to the receiving team if they win. There are singles and doubles. Initially, there was only one wall, but eventually four or three courts were used, and depending on the number of walls, handball is classified as one-wall handball, three-wall handball, four-wall handball, etc.

球技の一種。手で壁にボールを打ちつけて得点を競う。 10世紀頃からアイルランドで始まり,19世紀からアメリカ合衆国やヨーロッパ諸国で行なわれるようになった。かつては単にハンドボールといわれていたが,オリンピック競技大会で行なわれている7人制のチームハンドボール (ハンドボール ) が盛んになったため,ウォールハンドボール,あるいは発祥地の名を冠したアイリッシュハンドボールの名で区別されるようになった。ペロタ,ファイブス,ハイアライなどは同系統とされる。布製または革製のグローブをはめた手で,交互に柔らかいゴム製のボールを壁に当てて得点を競う。相手が打ち跳ね返ってきたところをワンバウンドまたはノーバウンドで打ち返し,どちらかがボールを返せなかったときにプレー終了となる。 21点制で2ゲーム先取。サーブ側がラリーに勝つと得点が認められ,レシーブ側が勝つとサーブ権が移る。シングルスとダブルスがある。当初は壁は1面だけだったが,やがて4面,3面のコートも使うようになり,壁の数によってワンウォールハンドボール,スリーウォールハンドボール,フォアウォールハンドボールなどと区別する。
