Women In Sport
Women’s Handball Development Committee
The Women’s Handball Development Committee was established in March 2016.
The participation of women in Olympic handball has been a constant focus for OHI. However, it was never overseen by a dedicated development committee until qualified volunteers became available, and a change in the international youth competition structure was made. Thanks to this, we started a development project dedicated to women in Handball.
