We offer a balance of competitive and recreational play, ensuring there's a place for everyone on our team.

What is Beach Handball?
Beach Handball is a team sport where two teams attempt to score points by throwing a ball in the goal of the opposing team. Players may advance the ball up the sand court by either taking steps with it (up to three) or by passing, bouncing, or rolling it.
Matches consist of two independently scored sets, lasting 10 minutes each. If teams are tied at the end of a regular set, then the teams will play a golden goal, with the first team to score winning the set. If each team has won a set after both are played, then the match goes to a shootout, in which players attempt to score one-on-one against the opposing goalie.
While a normal goal counts as one point, creative or spectacular goals net the scoring team two points. These goals include 360-degree spin shots, alley-oops, goals scored by a team's goalie, and penalty shots.
