VARSITY SERIES 2019: Handball - Roar News Barking isn’t exactly the most glamorous place to spend a Saturday morning, but watching the first ever Varsity handball fixtures made the trek out to zone 4 more than worth it. London’s finest (and UCL) assembled at Barking Sporthouse and Gym at 9am to face off in what turned out to be two nail...

In the historic first Handball Varsity, we unfortunately lost both women's and men's games...
Despite the ladies' effort, UCL beat them 15-7.
The men's game was tough and truly dramatic. Our guys managed to come back from -7 goals at half time and equalise in the last minute. Unfortunately we lost in penalties.

Final scores:
KCL- UCL (women) 7:15
KCL- UCL (men) 20:20, 1:3 in penalties

Our first Varsity game ever is taking place tomorrow at Barking Sportshouse and Gym from 9am, tickets are free!

Hi there!
We are present at the Freshers Fair at the Barbican this weekend! You can find us on the upper floor in the sports section.

Please remember that the first training of the year will take place on Wednesday 26th September 4-6pm, although we'll meet up in front of Strand campus (main door) at 3pm and we'll travel to the venue in Leyton together.

If you have any questions about the club, trainings or membership just drop us a message.

We're looking forward to seeing you and playing some handball together!
Your Handball Committee

Hello everyone!

We hope the summer has treated you all well :) This post contains a lot of information so we hope you read it thoroughly. If you have any questions left after reading this then do contact us through this page or via our personal profiles which will be linked at the end of the post!

TRYOUTS & TRAINING TIMES:

The training place and time for this year has finally been confirmed. The trainings will be taking place at LEYTON SCORE CENTRE (100 Oliver Rd, London E10 5JY) at 4-6PM ON WEDNESDAYS. This is also the time and place for the freshers’ tryouts in the first two weeks. We welcome everyone who is interested in handball to come and try it out, whether you’ve played it earlier or even if you’ve never in your life played handball before!

The first two trainings, which are also the free tryout sessions are:

--> Wednesday 26th of September at Leyton Score Centre 4-6pm
--> Wednesday 3rd of October at Leyton Score Centre 4-6pm

If you are not sure how to get there by yourself and/or want to travel there together with some of team, we will be doing a meetup for these two first trainings. You can meet us outside Strand campus’ front doors (the entrance with the lobby) at 3pm. We will leave towards Leyton at 3.15pm.

There will also be an event to these first two trainings here on Facebook where all of this information can be found as well! Remember to click going!

WHAT TO BRING TO THE TRAININGS:

We hope you bring shoes that are suitable for indoor sport and that support your feet well, some comfortable clothes to exercise in, and a water bottle. Good spirit is recommended as well :) We will provide the balls.

MEMBERSHIPS AND JOINING THE TEAM:

After these two sessions you can buy the membership on the KCLSU site if you wish to join us. It costs £32 for the whole year. (Note: for insurance reasons we can only offer these two sessions for free and therefore if you wish to join the team we require you purchase the membership before the third training on the 10th of October.)

We also offer an associate membership for anyone who is not a student at King’s but would like to join! The membership is the same price as the standard membership (£32). It can also be bought from the KCLSU website.

The memberships will soon be available for purchase but we will make another post about them later once they are available.

FRESHERS' FAIR:

We will be at the freshers’ welcome fair on Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd at Barbican (https://www.kclsu.org/ents/event/5906/ & https://www.kclsu.org/ents/event/5907/ ). You can come to chat with us and meet some of the team members!

We hope you are all as excited as we are of the new year and new season of handball! Hope to see you soon!
