Here is some information on a new initiative that has been launched to help school teachers inspire the next generation of handball stars and encourage thousands more youngsters to take up the sport. England Handball has launched the new, completely free, Teach Handball hub – a one-stop shop for everything teachers need to know about the sport including basic equipment, rules, FAQs, training opportunities and more.

Going live at the end of January 2022, the website contains a wide range of free resources for both primary and secondary school teachers and is aimed at boosting the appeal of the sport. Regardless of the level of experience and knowledge of handball, teachers are being urged to sign up and download a range of free, age and stage appropriate resources, supporting the delivery of one of the fastest, easiest and cheapest sports in the world.
A competition to celebrate the launch has also been announced, with £350 in handball equipment up for grabs thanks from Net World Sports. Every school teacher that registers on the portal before midnight on February 28th will have the chance to win a FORZA Primary School Handball Introduction Pack for their school*, which includes two handball goals, 12 balls and carry bags.
Stacey Andrews, National Partnership Manager at England Handball, said: “Handball continues to be one of the fastest growing indoor sports in England and our new Teach Handball Hub has been created to take that growth to the next level.
“It’s fast-paced, high scoring and energetic, making it a game that children of all ages love to play, which is one reason why teaching handball is becoming ever more popular. School participation is one of the big growth drivers for us, so we wanted to give teachers everything they need to make teaching handball as easy as possible. It’s perfect for schools as it can be played across so many different settings, from playgrounds to small gym halls, and very little equipment is needed."
This new hub hopes to bring even more schools into the handball community to benefit from everything the game has to offer, whether that’s teaching in PE sessions, delivering cross-curriculum activities, or running an after school club.
The site offers a wide range of resources, lesson plans for different age groups, activity and session ideas and all the information teachers need on the rules and equipment required for school handball.
Alongside the brilliant resources on offer, teachers will also be able to find opportunities to sign up on specific CPD, both online and face-to-face. As part of the course offer, teachers will be able to develop their refereeing/officiating skills, further their knowledge on how to introduce the game and/or support the GCSE assessments.
On top of the free teaching resources, England Handball has also agreed a partnership with Premier Education – the leading provider of sport and physical activity to primary schools, which currently works with more than 2,500 schools across the UK. The partnership will help to ensure even more school sessions are delivered across England and more details will be announced soon.
