Raffball
Raffball is a ball sport .
Two teams compete against each other. The goal is to play a full ball into the opposing goal or behind a goal line. The team strengths vary between seven and ten players, and there is no fixed practice on the size of the playing field. The playing time is two times 15 minutes or three wins.
The game was developed in 1891 by Konrad Koch (1846–1911) from Braunschweig and is regarded as the forerunner of modern handball . The rules published in 1897 stipulated that players could only play the ball with their hands and that they could not run more than two steps while in possession.
