EnglandHandball

The England Handball team are a group of elite amateur athletes, representing England in international handball competitions across the world.

An extremely successful World Championships in Portland, Oregon (3rd-11th Oct 2009) has seen England's men rise up the world rankings to 5th and win the ELA Cup for emerging nations. The women did one better, and are now 4th in the World. Individual success also came in the B Big Ball Doubles where Dan Grant and Ady Lee walked away with the World Championship Title - winning Englands first Crystalware along the way. Importantly, the England team also definitively won the Ashes back from Australia. You can read the full report in our 'playing' section.

The next World Championships will be held in Ireland in 2012 and we'll be looking for even more successes!

Being chosen for Team England is the pinnacle of the sport and represents a future opportunity for every young person or adult interested in handball or stepping onto a handball court for the first time. The average age of the current team is less than 25 - click on the player profiles to find out more.
