HANDBALL BALL SIZE GUIDE & CHART
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE HANDBALL?
Handballs are available to buy in 5 different sizes, and purchasing the right handball ball size is essential for ensuring players can enjoy playing and perform to the best of their ability.
Young children, for example, can find playing with a handball ball that's too large frustrating and demotivating if they lack the strength and physical size to handle and throw it efficiently. Practicing with the recommended ball size for your age and gender can also help transfer skills and technique learned in practice into competitive games.
We make choosing the correct handball size simple, with our easy-to-follow handball size guide, complete with visual size charts.
