Hall Sport (IMS)
We encourage you to compete in Handball for your halls of residence in IMS competitions held throughout the year. You compete in teams against other halls, and these competitions are always great fun.

Handball is also available through the My Lifestyle initiative, where you can give the sport a go and have loads of fun at the same time.
CVA Opportunities
Traditionally we run a Handball coaching course in house for student who want to then volunteer within one of our outreach programmes, where they’ll go out into local schools and coach the secondary school children off site. We also occasionally offer a handball officiating course to support the AU Handball fixtures.
