FAQs

Handball is a fast-paced, high-scoring team sport where two teams of seven players pass, dribble, and throw a ball using their hands to score in the opposing team's goal. 

But don't worry, we will teach you the rules. They are easy to learn!

We currently have:

• 1 men's senior team

• 1 ladies senior team

We are hoping to explore the options for a youth set-up in the not-so-distant future. For now, we are linked with the youth club, Somerset Spartans Handball Club

Any sports clothes or clothing you are comfortable doing exercise in and getting sweaty in.

Footwear should be comfortable and suitable for indoor sports. Handball-specific shoes are not required.

The first two sessions are free of charge for new players!

Yes...Sometimes our sessions are mixed. There is always males and females at the sessions. The sessions are ran based off of numbers. If attendance is high then we split the court in half by men and women, if numbers are low then it is more integrated.

We only have a limit on how young a player can be to play senior handball, this being 16+. This is a rule set by our governing body, the England Handball Association (EHA), for the safety and development of youth players.

For players below 16, please get in touch with our linked club, Somerset Spartans Handball Club.
