A shooting session with just one ball means a queue in front of the goal: the packs of handballs are meant to give each person, or nearly everyone, a ball for a whole group.
Match balls, training balls, beginner balls or balls without resin come in packs of three, five or ten, of the same model, so the whole group plays with the same feel.
Match balls, like the Ultimate from Select in LFH colours, offer the most precise touch but wear out quickly if used every day. Training balls, like the Mundo and Solera from Select or the Leo from Kempa, are made for repetition, and the Flash from Erima transitions from training to match. For the youngest, the Addicted from Softee in size 1 is ideal for beginners.
Many clubs play with resin, but some halls prohibit it to protect the floor. In this case, a ball designed for play without resin, like the D60 from Molten, retains good grip thanks to its more adhesive coating. Before ordering a pack, check with the town hall or the hall manager what is allowed.
A pack comprises balls of the same size, and the choice depends on the category to be equipped. Size 1 is for girls aged 8 to 14 and boys aged 8 to 12. Size 2 is for women from 14 years old and boys from 12 to 16, while size 3 is for men from 16 years old. A club that equips several categories takes one pack per size.
Among the packs is a Select ball in Handball-Store colours, available in blue or red. It can also be ordered in threes, fives or tens, for a club that wants a ball easy to spot in the bag.
The current discounts can be found in the special club offers and the special ball offers. The Black Friday balls page will arrive at the end of autumn, the ball sales in winter and summer, and the ball clearance will keep the end of lines.
Generally speaking, no, a pack consists of identical balls. For two different size categories, take two smaller packs instead of one large one.
Write the name of the club with a permanent marker on a panel, away from the valve. Using a different colour for each category can also help sort them in the bag after a shared session.
For the littlest ones, a lightweight, soft size 1 ball, like the Addicted from Softee, in a pack of ten so every child has one. Mini-hand, for under 8 years, is played with size 0.
For a team that plays in competition, a small pack of match balls is enough, reserved for matches. Most training is done with a pack of training balls, which are more durable.
In a closed bag for balls, kept away from heat and humidity, without over-inflating them. Check the pressure every week: an under-inflated ball will deform.
