From the World Games in Cali, Colombia, to the Beach Handball Championship in the U.S., the First Official Beach Handball Championship in the United States is coming sooner than we think, to show how amazing and beautiful this sport is and the potential it has all over the country. Americans were able to see during the World Games in Cali the energy this sport brings and therefore have decided to make it happen in the United States. During last year’s World Games, around 13.000 people attended the event, and every single person was amazed with all the attractive moves that were shown by the best players in the world.  Maybe that’s what sparked America to work and organize this excellent next event, American Open Beach Handball Championship.
