Whether you are new to the sport, already play beach handball or simply want to improve your game, you will find useful guides, tips and inspiration here.

What Is Beach Handball?

Beach handball is a fast-paced variation of handball played on a sand court. Two teams compete to score goals, but unlike traditional handball, certain spectacular goals can be worth two points instead of one.

This encourages players to be creative and makes beach handball especially entertaining to both play and watch.

The game also has its own rules, tactics and playing style. The soft and unstable surface makes movement more challenging, while the smaller court and quick transitions mean players constantly need to make fast decisions.
