    Staying active in NYC isn’t always the easiest but a majority of New Yorkers turn to the recreational sport of handball. Episode 3 of URBAN RECREATION tells the story of New York’s most popular sport - yes, even more than basketball. With more than 2,000 handball courts across the five boroughs and a rubber ball available at any corner bodega, New York is the Mecca of handball. This episode follows three-time U.S. Handball Champion and current number one player in the world, Timbo Gonzalez, as he travels through his old New York neighborhoods to share his view of handball and what it means to New York.

    I grew up in NYC, handball courts always packed from sun up to sun down in the city. The ball use to cost 25 cents, they lasted a day or two before they split open. You could wait for hours to challenge someone for a game if you didn't get to the park early. Great game, the best players are lighting fast and often scrap knuckles or palms on the concrete trying to make a shot. Best cardio workout you can get. Try playing this game for 2 or 3 hours on a sweltering 90 degree day in July! You will stay trim!

      @@LifesGoodG well you have 2/4/6.... squares. And you stand in a square and have to bounce the ball once in your square and have it lend in another square. If you don't bounce it in your square, its a fool, if it bounces more than once in your square its doubles, if the handball touches the line then its lines and therefore play on.

    I grew up in Queens and, 40 now, and I recall playing "American" handball and "Chinese" handball. In American handball you had to hit the ball directly on the wall; in Chinese style, we had to bounce it first. Any other New Yorkers remember this?

    When I was in elementary school, we'd play a game similar to this. Except we called it "Wall Ball." We used the same ball as these guys but we'd THROW it against a wall. If somebody caught the ball, then the thrower was out. But if the person catching dropped the ball, the thrower had to run and touch the wall. The catcher (if ball was dropped) had to peg the runner(original thrower) before they touched the wall. It was lit.

      Exactly, this game derives from Gaelic handball, which was similar to a sport played in ancient Egypt. This really is the oldest sport, and the first true Handball game.

  • @anderalonsoarruti7698

    hell yeah ! this sport comes from the basque country , we call it esku pilota ,we play it with a ball made out of leather and a stone inside of it ! i never played it with a rubber one, in here we have a line in the wall and if the ball goes lower than that is a point for the other player. i didn't know this sport was played in america, quite interesting.

  • @LATU676
    @LATU676 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Idk what kind of handball that is, but the handball we play in AUS is a bit different. We have squares and in a 1v1 match up, the two competitors get in a square and bounce the ball to each other, using powershots and stuff to get them out, you lose if the ball bounces twice in your square, if the ball goes out of the square or if you simply miss it.

    • @ChrisON3ill
      @ChrisON3ill 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      The modern game of handball originated in Ireland and Scotland. The earliest written record of a handball game is in the town statutes of Galway, which in 1527 forbade the playing of ball games against the walls of the town. On the west coast of Ireland, Galway had many trading links with Spain, especially the Basque regions, where the similar game of Pelota is played. It is highly likely that one game is derived from or influenced by the other. Irish immigrants brought the game to many countries in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. It is still played in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Wales and England.

    Back in 1960's Brooklyn - when I was 13 yrs old - I was unbeatable at handball. I played about 15 games per day and was on the school team. We played with spalding balls. I would be at the school handball court an hour before class and play several games; then at lunch time it was back on the handball court for another hour. After school, more handball. Everyday.

      Well, making a quick research I have just read that this kind of handball was played in Egypt, so I guess the cultural dispute is pointless. But anyway and just for the record, basque culture is pretty old as well, it is one of the oldest ones in Europe, and here this sport goes back to the 1200s. And its variation with a basket (jaialai) became very popular in the states, specially in florida. Cheers to all gaelic fellows!
