School students in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji often play a style of handball (Also known as four square or - square, with the number in the latter determined by the amount of players) that is different from nearly all other types of handball. The game is played at recess or before and after school. It can also be played at home or anywhere that has a hard surface and at least one line. It also has quick set-up time and easy rules. Unlike most types of handball, this version doesn't incorporate a wall, instead relying on lines on the ground. A handball court is a square split into four, typically by expansion joints, with the highest and most prestigious position on the court being King, second Queen, third Jack and the lowest ranking, Toilet, rubbish bin or dunce, Ace, King, Queen and dunce, depending on the version. The most radical change from American handball is that the player must bounce the ball (usually a tennis or high-bounce ball) in his square first, until its allowed to bounce in the other players square. Each player, if the ball bounces within their square, must then hit the ball with their hand, have it bounce within their own square once, and then an opponent's square. Failure to do so results in the player being relegated to the lowest position on the court, or the last of the players waiting to enter the court. Due to the social nature of handball at school and the simplicity of playing, many variations to the rules can occur. For example, one group may play in a square of four while the next school over, they play in a straight line of six squares, radically altering the game. As a result, this article only covers the most common rules and is not representative of every variation. In other words, the Rules may vary depending on the school in which you go to, but usually the basic rules are the same unless a different version of handball is being played. ==Basic Rules== * Must have at least two players * The "Ace" serves the ball, bouncing once within their square before entering an opponent's square * Once the serve is complete, the receiver must hit the ball to another player. * The ball must be hit so that it bounces in your square on the first bounce, and into another person's on the second bounce. * If the first bounce hits another player's square, the player has 'fulled' or has hit a 'full'. They are out. But if the other player hits the full it is called a 'full play' and they are out. * If the first or second bounce lands outside of the court, the last person who touched the ball is out. Normally called as 'out'. * If the ball bounces twice in a person's square, the person who is in that square is out. Usually known as 'double' or 'double bounce'. * If the ball is touched twice in a row by the same person, they are out. Usually known as 'double touch' * If the ball is held or scooped, the person who did it is out. * If a player physically or visually interferes with another player, they are out. * If an outside object interferes with the play, the point will be done over. This is called an "interference". * Saying or calling 'Ace choice' before a match allows the player in ace to make any move they wish when serving the ball, they may even do a full although if the ball goes out its a 'replay'. * Saying or calling 'Proper' limits the person in ace to a proper serve, the ball must be straight to the other player or the ace is out unless 'first serve' or 'replay' is called. * If the ball bounces on the line and is not a 'full' or a 'double' its is known as 'lines', when 'lines' is called a replay occurs. * 'Replay' is when the match is reset causing the ace to re-serve this is also similar to 'play on' this is called when something like 'doubles' or 'lines' occurs and the players just look past it and play on, generally called by ace or referee if there is one. * Rebounds, rebounds can be counted as an Extra rule and is not mandatory. 'Rebounds' occurs when the ball hits off an object (mainly a wall) and gets rebounded back into the square 'rebounds' can be called and the game plays on as normal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Handball (school)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
