Handball is a huge sport on the continent and enjoys significant participation levels as well as media coverage. France, Denmark, Germany, Russia and Sweden are the highest ranked countries currently in the world. Adidas, Intersport, Velux, Jack Jones, Schenker and Bet-At-Home are all partners of European and/or World Handball Federations investing considerable resources into the sport and clearly benefiting from significant return.

Handball, although in its infancy in the UK, is developing at an explosive rate and has all the attributes for success: dynamic, exciting, fast-paced, end-to-end action.

As an Olympic sport, London 2012 will provide Handball in the UK the platform it needs to connect to a wider audience. The purpose-built Handball arena will hopefully see the GB team reach the quarter-finals and, with the home advantage, possibly go further. It will also be the venue of the Pre- Olympic Test event which you can be involved in.

GB Handball will be a true Olympic legacy sport, a real success story as it embarks on a new journey post 2012 - we want you to be involved in this. You can be part of this growth and development, become synonymous with GB Handball and be instrumental in expanding our activities.

We fully understand that this partnership is two-way. So please take a moment to read below and see, in return for your support, how we can help you. If any of what you’ve heard and read interests you please contact Mat Shuker who is supporting us in our cause. I know he is very much looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
