Handball - Team sports don't come much more high speed and thrilling than handball, a combination of three of Australia’s favourite sports - soccer, netball and basketball - it's fast, it's fun and it can be played indoors or on the beach. High-scoring, dynamic and athletic, it is an outstanding spectator sport.

Beach Handball - Beach handball is a rapidly developing sport that combines competition with leisure. Played on sand by teams of four, with four substitute players per team, the action on the small court is fast and at times furious.
