In wall handball, the number of players depends on the format of the match:

  • Singles: This format is played by two players, with one person on each side.12
  • Doubles: This format is played by four players, with two people on each team.12

While the game is primarily played in these two formats, there is also an informal three-player variation known as "cutthroat". All versions of the game—whether one-wall, three-wall, or four-wall—can be played in these configurations.21
