Sports / Fitness / Recreation / Handball | | Spanish term or phrase: pantalla | A technique used in handball. In my text it appears in a list alongside "cortina" (which I have put in a separate question) and no further information is given. I have found this context on-line, which I hope will provide some help:
"Acciones de invasiones, cruces, cortinas y pantallas para desordenar la defensa y favorecer el lanzamiento exterior"
Any thoughts? |

12 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 screen ball
Explanation:
I have no knowledge of handball whatsoever, but 'screen ball' does seem to exist:
"4.) Screen ball. Any ball rebounding from the front wall so close to the body of a defensive player that it interferes with or prevents the offensive player from having a clear view of the ball. The referee should be careful not to make the screen call so quickly that it takes away an offensive advantage."
