England Handball Posts Online Treasure Trove of Handball Webinars

Posted on by
England Handball has dropped a treasure trove of information that will be educating handball coaches, players and fans for years to come.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic England Handball Association (EHA) has been hosting a series of online handball webinars. Open to anyone who registered they’ve addressed a variety of topics to include handball in schools, 7v6 tactics and women’s handball. Unfortunately, while we were all stuck at home for the most part the past couple of months, it’s still not always possible to view these great seminars live.

The great news, however, is that all of these webinars are now available online at their EHA YouTube Channel or in the direct links below. Over 14 hours of handball coaching instruction. What a tremendous resource for years to come.
