Comments:  A class is the best way to recruit handball players and that is exactly what Tad Phelps from Idaho State University is doing. The course name is Handball Intro and it meets twice a week. Tad decided to offer the course in Handball in Pocatello, Idaho, when he realized there might be a lot of strong interest, and Tad was right. On the first day his class overflowed with students. For students it sounds too good to be true. Learn a fun game and get a physical education credit, too.
