Sudbury's home for team handball.
A community club for youth and adults, right here in the Nickel City. Handball is huge in Europe and brand new to most of us up north, which means everybody starts as a beginner. Come out, meet the group, and we'll teach you the game.
Never seen a game? You're not alone.
Picture a mix of basketball and soccer, played with your hands, with a goal at each end. If you can run, catch, and throw, you already have the basics.

Seven a side
Six court players and a goalkeeper per team, on an indoor court slightly larger than a basketball floor.
- ↗
Pass, move, shoot
Teams work the ball up the court with passes and dribbles, then shoot from outside the goal area. Only the keeper is allowed inside it.

Made for northern winters
It's an indoor game, so the weather never cancels a session. A good way to keep moving through a Sudbury winter.
Our weekly training schedule.
Find the session for your group and come on down. Bring indoor shoes and a water bottle, and we'll supply the balls.

Two programs, one club.
Youth and adults train on their own nights, and everyone is welcome at the Saturday drop-in.
Youth
Players learn to catch, pass, shoot, and work as a team through games and small-sided play. We split the group by age on the night, so a seven-year-old and a sixteen-year-old each get a session that suits them. No experience or special gear needed.
Adults
A relaxed weekly session for anyone 18 and up. Some of us played in school or overseas, plenty of us are learning from scratch, and everybody gets a good workout. For those who want more, there's a competitive side too.
Three steps to your first game.
There's no tryout and nothing to pay up front. Here's how it works.
