The Beach Handball band system is in official size, which corresponds to a playing field of 27 x 12 meters, and is approved by the EHF & IHF associations (DHB is a member of both associations). The lines (4 cm wide) are made of elastic bands and are secured deep in the sand or other soft surfaces, such as grass, using iron hooks and a rope.

Beach Handball has now become an integral part of summer preparations for women, men, and youth, as it allows for combining conditioning with fun due to the deep sand surface.

Beach handball

Beach handball is a derivative of traditional indoor handball and is also played with special beach handballs, which you can of course purchase from us (ball sizes: youth, women & men). Like many other beach sports, beach handball is played barefoot. The rules are slightly modified compared to traditional handball. Dribbling the ball, partly due to the sandy surface, is not allowed. For example, the goal area is rectangular instead of circular. Additionally, goals can count for more than one point if they are scored, for example, by the goalkeeper or through a Kempa trick.

Since 2015, official tournaments have been held again, organised by the German Handball Federation (DHB) as part of the German Beach Handball Tour.
