	How to Play Handball - WikiHow
		Handball is a sport played by many children and adults, especially in the schoolyard.
		Chinese is the easier of the two, in which the players bounce the ball against the ground once before it hits the wall, while in American, it doesn't bounce.
		An example would be whether you want DBA (Chinese), which means if the ball bounces twice when it's coming to you, you hit it American, or DBC (American only, when the ball bounces twice, hit it Chinese).
