Beach Handball Line System BH1

The beach handball line system approved by the associations EHF & IHF is designed for the official playing field size of 27 x 12 meters. 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 and anchors in the sand or on other soft surfaces. The soft foam elements are designed to prevent injuries. However, when installing the lines, it is important to ensure that they are half buried in the sand. The beach handball field is always the same size for men, women, and youth, including official tournaments by the German Handball Federation (DHB).

Beach handball is now almost a part of every summer preparation, as it combines conditioning with fun and strengthens the sense of unity, due to the deep sand. It is gaining popularity among women, men, and children. Beach handball is derived from indoor handball and is played with special beach handballs. You can of course also buy these from us. Like many other beach sports, beach handball is played barefoot. The rules are slightly modified compared to traditional handball. Dribbling the ball, due to the sand surface, is not allowed. The goal area, for example, is rectangular instead of circular. In addition, goals can count for more than one point if they are scored by the goalkeeper or with a Kempa trick.

Since 2015, there have been (again) official tournaments and the German Handball Federation (DHB) organizes the German Beach Handball Tour.
