The Club
About us
We are a very friendly club with two very experienced coaches! The club has a mixture of experienced and new players.
It’s a great team sport that is fast and exciting!
Our close target is to build both men’s and women’s teams that play matches regularly and train weekly.
Youth Teams are planned, as soon as there is enough interest.
The current sessions are open to everyone 16+. No experience is required, but you should be willing to show some commitment and competitiveness. We are collaborating closely with Newquay Handball Club, to create easier access to competitions.
History
The history of Handball in Plymouth dates back to 2012. Supported by the interest in Handball generated by the home Olympics, a Sportivate program was offered at Marjon University. This resulted in a Handball club in Plymouth, which popularised the sport but provided mostly another recreational activity and few competitive opportunities. The club survived until the pandemic but had trouble maintaining participation numbers at the end. The new club, established as Development Project in 2022, is now taking a different approach and aims to offer as many competitive or friendly matches as possible and expand provision in the South West.
What is Handball?
Yes, it's explained by Americans for Americans, but the reality of Handball is very much the same as in the UK.
