Catch the Action
We’re thrilled to announce that the first round of Handball Futures Tryouts has officially wrapped up — and what an incredible journey it’s been!
Over the past several months, we hosted tryouts in Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, and California, welcoming talented, driven, and enthusiastic athletes from all over the country. Whether athletes were trying handball for the very first time or stepping back onto the court with experience, the energy, teamwork, and heart shown at each location was nothing short of inspiring.
A huge thank you to our dedicated coaches, Mark Ortega, Wade Sutton, Martin Bilello and Chris Cappelmann, for leading outstanding sessions, and to the Olympians and U.S. National Team players who generously shared their time, stories, and expertise with the next generation of athletes. Your presence made a lasting impact on everyone involved.
We also want to extend our sincere gratitude to all of our supporters, donors, and USA Team Handball for believing in the mission of Handball Futures and helping us grow the sport across the country.
This is only the beginning — we’re building something special together. Stay tuned for updates on future training opportunities, events, and next steps as we continue working to shape the future of handball in the United States!
Thank you to everyone who made this possible!
