Sport worth the difficulty

Re “In Good Hands on the Court” [May 23]: In reading the article, I was thinking that some might get the wrong impression about handball. It is not a difficult game to learn. With the proper instruction, you can be playing handball in 20 minutes. It is a difficult game to master and you will spend the rest of your life in that quest. That is one of the many things that make the game special.

Also, the article failed to mention the fitness benefits that thousands enjoy by playing handball.

Perhaps the best parts are saved for last: It is not expensive.
