There are two Youth Development Programmes running in New Zealand, one is Christchurch, the other in Wellington.

This is the perfect place for young people to discover handball, build confidence, make friends, and have fun in a positive, supportive environment.

Whether you're completely new to the sport or you've already played a little, the programmes are designed for everyone. Our sessions focus on learning new skills, playing exciting games, and developing teamwork in an inclusive environment where every player is welcome.

The programmes offers a safe, well-structured programme led by qualified coaches who are passionate about helping young people enjoy sport and reach their potential.

If your child enjoys being active, trying new things, and being part of a team, we'd love to welcome them to join us.

Please complete the registration forms below to join us—we can't wait to see you on court!
