Handball players wear form-fitting gloves to protect hands and to prevent moisture from making the ball slippery and wet and hard to hit. When your gloves become wet you should change them to a dry pair. Gloves are either padded or unpadded. Gloves with padding in the palm are a good idea for beginners. Some players also tape their hands for added protection and cushioning. Most gloves are made of leather, or some other soft material and are adjustable. The gloves should be light in color and the fingers aren't allowed to be webbed, connected or removed. Gloves with holes that expose the skin aren't allowed to be used either. You may not place any foreign substance on the outside of your gloves. Make sure your gloves are lightweight and fit you properly.
