Handball is a collective sport. I would define sport, taking reference to
the dictionary, as a pastime or athletic game which is often competitive and
involving physical capacity. One, thereby, regarded as fair and conforming to
the rules. It is noted there are different kind of sports. I would be totally
wrong, if I said I am not a person who is not interested in sport.
As I like sport, I have practiced it since I was in
primary school. It is partly right when one considers my primary school as the
place where I had started practicing sport. Before being there, in my primary
school, I think I had done some physical activities like jumping, running or
playing soccer with other children of my age. However, these activities were
done without precise rules.
As sport is a part of my interests, I expect to gain from it a certain
number of advantages such as being healthy, having brain relaxed, and having
experiences. In fact, it is about what I want to do with this supervised blog.
I had chosen “Handball Experiences” as the title of my blog because I like
handball. I then have a purpose to make known and to share what I already had
experienced with it. This blog does not only focus on my own experiences, but
it also aims to incite people, of course who will read it, who are not alleged
to be familiar with sports to practice them; especially the handball.

Sport is
a way which allows me to always have a well feeling. In fact, handball is a sport which is not, I think, so difficult to play when one has a great will
and perseverance in learning how to play it. However, if one wants to be
initiated on how to play handball, only trying to play it is not enough. It is
enough because one needs to like as interest. Personally, I did become a
handball player thanks to my sport’s teacher in my high school. That situation,
thereby, happened when I was in the first year in high school. With my
classmates, that teacher taught us to play handball. We often did our sporting
subject in the stadium. What he had done was not only about teaching to play it
but he gave some ideas as suggestion that encouraged and motivated me to be a
handball player.
Handball, is it important in Madagascar? Some Malagasy people like
sports. That is the reason for why they are good in some sport fields such as
kick boxing, judo and handball. Why Malagasy are good in it? The reason is
simple because, for instance, the Malagasy women team, THBC (Tana Handball Club), won the cup of “Jeux des îles” of the last year. In addition, every
year, the Malagasy federation of handball makes an effort to organize the
national championship of handball. Therefore, it is an effective way to promote
handball. Many are people who attend it when this competition happens. The significance of handball in Madagascar is then something which exists. Moreover, handball is also significant given the fact that it is one of subjects taught in some Malagasy schools. Unfortunately, the case was not the same when it had been in Antsiranana in
2011.
Handball is an interesting sport to play. There are then some
rules which govern handball. As a result, I have been familiar with it since I was
in high school. Throughout the fact of doing physical exercises, there is a kind of feeling that makes me to feel more connected with my surroundings.
