The beach handball line system, approved by the EHF & IHF associations, is designed for the official playing field size of 27 x 12 metres. The lines are made of soft foam tubes (Ø 4.5 cm) and connected with internal ropes. The line system is secured with elastic carabiner hooks to anchors in the sand or other soft surfaces. The soft foam elements are intended to prevent injuries. When installing the lines, care must be taken to bury them halfway into the sand. The beach handball field is always the same size for men, women, and youth, including at official tournaments of the German Handball Federation (DHB).

How to play beach handball?

Beach handball has now become almost a standard part of summer training, as it combines conditioning—due to the deep sand surface—with fun and strengthens team spirit. Women, men, and children are increasingly enjoying the sport. Beach handball is derived from traditional indoor handball and is also played with special beach handballs, which you can of course purchase from us. 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 scored, for instance, by the goalkeeper or through a Kempa trick.
Since 2015, official tournaments have been held again, and the German Beach Handball Tour is organised by the DHB (German Handball Federation).
