Between returning to the club and the end-of-year tournaments, children grow up fast and wear everything out: the junior Black Friday is a great time to stock up on kit and shoes.
Shirts, shorts, sweats, jackets, indoor shoes, and sneakers are on sale in kids' sizes, from mini-hand to under 18s.
Children's sizes are usually based on age or height in centimetres. Measure your child rather than relying on their age: two children of the same age can wear different sizes. For a growing child, a size up allows for some extra room for the season.
A young player needs a lightweight shoe that fits without being too tight. Kempa offers its Wing and Kourtfly in children's sizes, Hummel has the Topflight, Nike provides the Zoom Hyperset and Puma has the Accelerate. Hook-and-loop fasteners or elastic laces make it easier for the little ones.
Hummel, Errea, Joma, Erima and Craft offer their team lines in children's sizes, allowing an entire category to be dressed in the same outfit. adidas also offers team jerseys for France in children's size, in supporter version.
A child plays with a ball that fits their hand: size 0 for mini-hand, and size 1 after that. The Black Friday balls page allows filtering by size.
Youth tournaments often take place far from home, with several games in a day. A warm tracksuit, a hoodie, and a change of clothes help keep warm between matches. Team jackets and trousers are available in children's sizes from most club brands.
For a child discovering handball, there's no need to buy everything at once. A pair of indoor shoes, shorts, a breathable t-shirt, and a water bottle are enough for the first sessions. The rest will come with the desire to continue.
For parents who also play, the Black Friday men and Black Friday women pages follow the same logic. After the holidays, the junior sales take over.
This page gathers all the promotions in children's sizes, from shoes to tracksuits. Filter by category and then by size to save time.
Leave about a finger's width between the big toe and the end of the shoe, no more. A shoe that's too big can cause instability and increase the risk of falling.
For a trial session, yes, but not for the long term: a regular trainer slips on the floor and doesn't support the ankle well. A children's indoor shoe pays off quickly.
Mini-hand is played with a size 0 ball, which is soft and lightweight. Size 1 takes over from around 8 years old.
Choose a team range that exists in both children's and adult sizes, so you can complete your order over the seasons. Check the available sizes before confirming a bulk order.
