The Ohio State University Team Handball Club recently travelled to North Macedonia over their spring break. The contingent consisted of 15 athletes, 1 photographer/videographer and 3 coaches (JD Orr, Max Littman and Arvid Rohdin). The team flew into Skopje and based out of Bitola where they played scrimmage matches vs the Pelister U21 and U18 sides. The team also did some sightseeing in Ohrid and Thessalonika, Greece. The highlight of the trip was attending the Eurofarm Pelister – RK Vardar match with some of the Buckeye sitting in the Ultras Section. Surely, a one of a kind experience.
This is the fourth Spring Break trip that Ohio State has taken to Europe. Previously they’ve traveled to Norway, Denmark and Hungary. I’m working on some commentaries explaining why I’m “all in” on College Handball. Chalk this trip and experience up to Reason #1: College Handball is just cool.
