Dribbling is one of the most important skills in handball. It is used to advance the ball and maneuver into scoring position. Players are allowed to take three steps in between dribbles, and they can use both hands to catch the ball. A player in possession of the ball cannot stand stationary for more than three seconds. He must either pass, shoot or dribble to maintain possession. Offensive players are also not allowed to dribble aimlessly for indefinite periods. There's no shot clock like there is in basketball, but officials do watch for stalling. If a team is deemed guilty of passive play, possession is awarded to the defensive team. It is illegal for offensive players to use any part of the body below the knee to handle the ball.
