Five balls lined up on the nine-metre line, a shooter who’s on a roll, a goalkeeper with no time to breathe: that’s the typical scene of a set of 5 handball balls during training.
Training balls, match balls or those without resin, and even a beach handball: the set of five completes the bag of a team without cluttering the storage space.
A shooting workshop runs with one ball per shooter in line. With five balls, a group of five or six players can take shots in turns while the coach restarts, and the goalkeeper gets a full set. This is the right format to work on a specific position, whether wings, backs or pivots.
For the pre-match warm-up, a team needs a few match balls for shooting and passing. A set of five match balls, reserved for this purpose, keeps the feel of games, while the balls from the week stay at the club.
For training, the Mundo from Select is a ball designed for clubs, the Leo from Kempa keeps up with training sessions, and the Flash from Erima transitions from training to match. The Solera from Select, widely used in clubs, offers a compromise between feel and durability.
The D60 from Molten, size 2, is played without resin, a solution for venues that prohibit it. The set of five is also available in beach handball, which is softer and lighter, designed for sand.
The five balls in a set are the same size. For male seniors, use size 3. A women's team from 14 years old or boys aged 12 to 16 play in size 2. Below that, girls up to 14 and boys up to 12, size 1 is used.
For personal use, the sets of 3 balls are enough. For a whole category, switch to sets of 10 balls. Compare all the formats on the ball sets page.
The club special offers combine discounts on collective equipment. The Black Friday, at the end of autumn, is on the Black Friday balls page, and the ball sales follow in winter and summer.
For a workshop or warm-up, yes. For a session where each player works on their technique at the same time, count on one ball per player, so a set of ten or two sets of five would be better.
The set combines five balls of the same model and size all at once. Individually, you can mix models, but the group will then have different feels when playing.
Take the beach ball set from the page: these balls are played without resin and withstand sand. A hall ball is not made for this use.
A bag for five or six balls can be carried on the shoulder and fits in a car boot. Check the capacity indicated on the sac sheet before ordering.
Yes, as long as you choose a ball that is the right size for them. The Addicted from Softee, in size 1, is designed for younger players, and five balls are enough for a small school handball group.
