Training handball balls
Keep your match ball for the weekend: at training, you need handballs that can take the shots, the wall passes, and the extended drills without losing their shape.
Durable training balls, models for play without resin, multi-sport balls for warming up: the page covers a club's needs, from size 0 to size 3.
What exactly is a training ball?
A training ball is built to last. Its cover is thicker or more durable than that of a match ball, and it withstands rough surfaces, repeated shots, and resin better. It often maintains a good grip, but the feel is slightly less refined. This is the ball that does the heavy lifting throughout the season.
Spectrum Synergy Primo, Leo, Buteo: the training session the Kempa way
Kempa is very prominent on the page. The Spectrum Synergy Primo is suitable for both training sessions and matches, available in Sweden blue and white or black and gold for the Glory edition. The Spectrum Synergy Plus, in fluorescent yellow and black, and the Spin, in fluorescent red and black, complete the family. The Buteo, in orange and black, is aimed at adults.
HB Force, Solera, Mundo, Storm Pro: other training balls
The HB Force DB from Select, robust and precise, opens the page. The Solera EHF, available in blue or white, and the Mundo are used daily by clubs. Hummel offers the training Star, in off-white and light blue, and the Storm Pro 2.0. Molten adds the D60 and HX3400 in the colours of the FFHB, a training ball from the federal range.
Multisport balls for warm-ups and small games
The page also includes multisport balls, useful for warm-up games, coordination, or preparation sessions. A few netball and korfball balls are included, for clubs that introduce several passing sports. They complement the bag without replacing the handballs in the category.
A training size for every group
In training as in matches, each category plays with its size. Size 3 for men from 16 years old, size 2 for women from 14 years old and boys from 12 to 16 years, size 1 for girls from 8 to 14 years and boys from 8 to 12 years, size 0 for mini-hand. A young player training with a ball that's too big can develop poor shooting habits.

Frequently asked questions
How many training balls for a team?
Ideally, one ball per player for technical exercises, which means about ten for a team. For shooting drills, five balls per session are enough.
Should you train with the same ball as in matches?
The same model helps get used to the feel, but a training ball of the same brand works just as well. Keep a few match balls for the last session before the game.
How to clean resin off a training ball?
Use a cleaner designed for balls and a cloth, after each session or at least once a week. Accumulated resin hardens the cover and makes it slippery.
Is a training ball suitable for outdoor use?
Better than a match ball, yes, but a rough surface will wear it out faster than a wooden floor. Keep one or two balls dedicated for outdoor sessions.
What is a multisport ball used for in a handball club?
It's used for warm-up games, coordination exercises, and sessions for younger players. It helps avoid wearing out handballs on exercises that don't require them.
