Social competition

Every summer in Adelaide, the white sandy beaches of Glenelg come alive with the sights and sounds of beach handball.

​

The previous beach handball season ran from October 2018 to February 2019. Finals were held on 17 February 2019
at Glenelg Beach. Stay tunes for more information on the 2019/20 season.

​

The SA beach handball competition consists of three divisions: men's, women's and mixed. Teams can consist of up to ten players, with four on the court at any time (mixed teams must have at least two females on the court at all times).

​

Games are generally held from 2.20pm to sunset, according to the schedule. Teams will play one game each Sunday; each game consists of 2 x 10-minute halves (plus a shoot-out if required).

​

Teams are required to have a simple uniform, with one colour for court players and a different colour for the goalkeeper/specialist player. Each player must also have a number of their back. 

​

Every player is required to register individually, to participate in games and trainings. Registration is fully online only.

​

Here is the information for the previous season:

The registration cost for the whole season is $89 per adult player and $40 per under-16 player for the season. The fee covers all games, trainings, insurance and entry to social events.

[Casual rates are available at $20 per player for the first game, with an additional $10 per game thereafter]

​

Any player participating in more than one division (mixed, as well as men's or women's) is only required to pay one fee. 

​

Fees must be paid by EFT to Handball SA by Wednesday 24 October 2018. EFT details are as follows:

​

The social competition is open to all, including new and existing players. Individuals players can be matched up with an existing team, or better yet, should feel free to make their own team of friends or colleagues. We encourage any sporting group in their off season, or corporate group looking for a team building activity, to join the competition.

​

Please note any team forfeiting a game throughout the season is to notify Handball SA via Facebook Messenger or email handballsa@gmail.com as early as possible. A fee of $50 per forfeit is applicable and must be paid by the team prior to commencing their next game.

​

But the best news is that South Australia is hosting the Australian national championships from 21 to 24 February 2019 so this season is your chance to prepare to make it to the national stage... or even be selected for the Australian team and play overseas.
