On just another Sunday at the gym, we seemed to have accidentally found one of the best sports of the century. Sighting the potential, we realised we needed to let people know about this right away.

Despite our several tries to reach out the game to the public, the initial responses were always a striking no. But we weren't the quitting kind.
Luck was on our side. We were able to get the handstandball.com domain sponsored. The ubiquity of the internet pushed handstandball out to the world.

Imagine being a young sports talent clueless of what to do next. Now you are able to get your boost of motivation in the sports centre. Adding on to that, handstandball isn’t close to being mainstream, making it just the more interesting.

Intrigued by the idea of the game, the gym goers and the gymnasts were enthusiastic participants during inductions.

The handstandball, widely known for the level of difficulty and fun has now become the most trending sport in the NITT campus.

For the ones who aren't aware of the current trend, don't worry, I'm here to cover the rules and how handstandball works.

The rules are pretty simple. It's just another football game, only it's upside down. As long as the players' legs don't hit the ground and balls don't hit the legs, we're good.

To make the game practical, the courts are smaller, The goal posts are shorter, with the entire game having two sets spanning 3 minutes each.

Practice, enthusiasm and team spirit are all that's needed bring home a win.

The new game invited several new faces, intrigued by it's uniqueness. "We love it" has been a popular feedback, encouraging us to reach out further.
