THE HANDBALL FRONTIER
THE HANDBALL FRONTIER – Grassroots / Community fertilizing and cultivating
130 years after The Frontier in North America, we Pro Handball USA brings on THE HANDBALL FRONTIER (THF) to North America.
With financial assistance from Sponsors and dedicated partners, this funding making the contribution through THF possible.
Together with IHF and dedicated European Clubs and Federations, we will launch and operate multiple Frontier Teams who will be working, on the ground, in the USA, with the grassroots, within the local communities and getting involved on club-level in the USA.
We will, with this initiative, make a friendly invasion of small teams of dedicated youngsters with a long background from the European club-handball environment, who are willing to spend their time, energy and commitment, teaching handball at all kids- & youth levels in the USA. Each team will work in a dedicated district, at elementary- and middle school level, introducing the sport of handball and teaching it, for set period. Each team is expected to have 3 trainings a day – and be involved on the weekend, at local club level.
To do this work we need the following to be in order:
- Approval and engagement from the specific school districts
- An active or potential local active club environment who are committed
- USATH and IHF engagement
- Funding partners / sponsors
The priority is to work the local community, in proximity of where the UHSL will be held. Do we have more capacity, or could we grow the capacity to other area’s we will do so, with respect to above prioritize.
