Thank you Handball Australia for being such a wonderful organisation!
I still recall whenever the words, 'Handball Australia' is mentioned, all the kids eyes would just light up...!
Our kids are now in highschool but we feel so blessed to have part of Handball Australia since it started 9 years ago.
Handball Australia's program for skills training and coaching is so unique, it is not offered anywhere else but has been a truly wonderful service for our kids not just physical skills and learning the game, but also social, and emotional development.
Accessing to these services has been the single best decision we have made as parents for both our daughter and son in their primary years.
I am so glad I attended a 'preparing your child for school' session those years ago where the services Handball Australia provides were recommended as a must by the paediatric OT and Speech therapists. Kids otherwise have no structured support in the playground, so it really is a good test to how well they are coping.
I have also thoroughly enjoyed standing by the sidelines with the many other parents at the inter-schools weekend competition over the years. It allowed us as parents to be a part of what the kids play at school. These competitions and the holiday camps make it possible for parents to experience what our kids spend hours doing each week.
I love that it is a co-ed game too. Afterall, it is the reality of the world...
Thank you Handball Australia!
