Who Is It For?

Our programme is open to anyone with a passion for handball and a desire to get involved. Whether you are a former player, a PE teacher, a parent, a student or a young person looking to develop leadership skills, we provide opportunities to support your development within the sport.

Volunteering

We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us grow handball in the community. Whether you have experience in sport or simply want to make a difference, we have a role for you. Volunteers receive training, support, and the chance to be part of something special.

We support individuals from their first experience through to advanced roles within coaching, officiating and event delivery. Our most experienced coaches and workforce members mentor newcomers, creating a supportive environment that develops confidence, skills and knowledge.

Through this pathway, individuals can progress from volunteering and leadership roles into coaching, officiating and wider responsibilities, contributing to the long-term growth of handball across our communities.
