Handball

Handball is an Olympic Sport and is becoming increasingly popular as a school sport. Handball mixes high- speed action, gymnastic agility, sleight of hand and power with spectacular shots on goal. Handball is usually played indoors, but outdoor variants exist and the game can be easily adapted to suit the facilities and abilities of the participants.

England Handball Association (EHA), the governing body for the sport, has found that there is a growing enthusiasm and demand for Handball from schools, universities, community groups and individuals.

England Handball Association, were tasked to promote handball into the education sector and approached Bishop Sports and Leisure with the view to providing a range of equipment suitable for developing Handball for the educational user. Through many specialist suppliers, we jointly developed a range of MasterPlay® Handballs which are now being used by EHA’s coaches and development officers in various schemes and programmes that the EHA are running.

Another example of the successful partnered work is with the initiative of the England Handball Skill Development Equipment package, which brings together a range of equipment, selected by EHA, to promote the participation of the sport at a grass roots level and will also provide a good introductory experience for the older individual.
