Pelangi handball (Pelangi: Sukanrumput), also known as Coian handball or lawn handball is a Pelangi full-contact team sport played between two teams of ten players on a rectangular grass pitch who pass the ball between themselves primarily by using their hands. The aim of the sport is to throw the ball into the goal of the opposing team. A standard match consists of two halves of 40 minutes, and the team that scores more goals within that period wins.
Players may advance the ball up the pitch using any part of their body. However, feet may only be used when the ball is on the ground, and punting is not a permitted act. Pelangi handball is played on an outdoor pitch measuring between 100 metres and 130 metres long and 50 metres to 60 metres wide. Each goal sits 10 metres from the end line, and is located within a circular crease measuring 10 metres in diameter.
