What happens if you travel in handball?

In handball, traveling occurs when a player takes more than three steps without dribbling the ball, or dribbles, stops, and then starts dribbling again. When a player is called for traveling, the opposing team is awarded a free throw from the spot of the violation. This rule is in place to maintain the flow of the game and ensure fair play. Players must continually dribble or pass the ball to avoid committing this infraction.
