We will talk more about the last two sports:

Handball is an Olympic sport where two teams of seven players each (six players and a goalkeeper) pass and bounce a ball trying to throw it in the goal of the opposing team.The game is quite fast and includes body and contact as the defenders try to stop the attackers from approaching the goal. Only frontal contact by the defenders is allowed; when a defender stops an attacker with his or her arms instead of his or her torso, the play is stopped and restarted from the spot of the infraction or on the nine-meter line, with the attacking team in possession. These are some rules of the handball game.

Volleyball is a Olympic sport in which two teams separated by a high net use their hands, arms or rarely other parts of their bodies to hit a ball back and forth over the net.There are six players on the court at all times.Three in the front and three in the back. Each team is allowed three hits to get the ball over the net to the other team. A point is scored if the ball hits the ground in the opponents´ court, if the opponents commit a fault, or if the opponents fail to return the ball properly.
