BALL
For mini handball and handball we use these four sizes:
Size 0 Size 1 Size 2 Size 3
Mini handball
Handball
Size 0: 46-48 cm, 225-275 g; for women’s
and men’s youth under 8/10y (for mini
handball or for beginners).
Size 1: 50-52 cm, 290-330 g; for women’s
(8-14y) and men’s (8-12y) youth.
Size 2: 54-56 cm, 325-375 g; for women’s
(14y and older) and men’s (12-16y) youth.
Size 3: 58-60 cm, 425-475 g; for men’s (16y
and older) youth and men.
For beginners, the ball can be smaller than
those specified for the particular age of the
players, and making use of many different
balls is key to player development, as it
improves coordination skills and feel for the
ball.
To produce an alternative ball, we need
a plastic bag (sock), a filler (paper, cloth,
foam, styrofoam, or something soft and light)
and adhesive tape.

Small-sided games can be played with
many different balls or objects made from
diverse materials, but for beginners, the most
suitable are soft, not too heavy, easy to grasp
and colourful balls (e.g., squeeze-ball).
