We really hope that your child/ren have enjoyed their first handball sessions with us!

As we communicated in our original club letter, our handball sessions are running in several schools across Gloucestershire, and we will be bringing them all together for some friendly competition at our handball festival!

This will take place on Sunday 5th November at Churchdown School Academy,
Winston Road, Gloucester, GL3 2RB. We expect the event to run from 9am – 1.30pm, but this is subject to change depending on the number of players who sign up and we will communicate the finalised plan by Saturday 28th October.

NEW THIS YEAR – grown ups are welcome to accompany their children on the day or leave them in our duty of care. Please see below for details.

All children who attend will receive a medal, with special awards going to 3 children from each key stage and for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place.

Additional extras also available are:

- A team t-shirt (team colour + With The Ball sponsor logo) (+£12.00 pre-order only).
- A personalised team t-shirt (as above + printed player initials, With The Ball badge, & Handball 2023)
