What is Team Handball?

Team handball is a fast-paced team sport played around the world and featured in the Olympic Games. It combines elements of basketball, soccer, and hockey into a continuous, high-energy game built on movement, passing, and teamwork.

A Real Sport, With Real History

Women's team handball has decades of organized competition behind it. The Women's World Championship has run since 1957, and it's been part of the Olympics since the 1970s.
The U.S. has its own piece of that history. The U.S. women's national team has competed in four Olympics and five World Championships, and there's been a U.S. women's national club championship every year since 1975.
This program is a local starting point for a sport that's been competitive at the highest level for decades.

Who This Program Is For + Why Join?

Whether you used to play sports, never have, or just want to move and meet people, this program works the same way for everyone. Show up, learn together. No experience required.

Never played handball before? Most people in this program haven't either. You won't be the only one learning from scratch.

Anyone Looking to Move More

Handball is faster-paced than a typical workout and keeps you engaged the whole time.
