One of Europe’s most exciting sports is alive in York, and York Hunters handball team is looking for new players!
Handball is an fast-paced seven-a-side indoor sport, featuring six outfield players, one goalkeeper, and a goal at each end of the court. The aim of the game is to simply score more goals than the opposition.
Handball is huge in continental Europe, but is still a relatively unknown sport in the UK. It is really good fun to play, and is also a great workout for your whole body.
