Founded in August 2014 by players of different abilities for people of all abilities, Durham University Handball Club welcomes everybody from beginners to national-level athletes.

Handball is rapidly growing across the UK and so we are building our club year on year, with multiple men’s and women’s teams competing in different divisions.

We compete in many tournaments, most notably winning the men’s BUCS division 3 in the 2022/23 season. A lot of these players started handball for the first time here at Durham, so if you have never played before but have a desire to try something new at university, we’re excited to meet you.

Over the past three years, the team have competed in many tournaments, more notably the women's team have won medals in the past three BUCS tournaments. A lot of these players started handball for the first time here at Durham, so if you have never played before but have a desire to try something new at university, now is the time.
