Olympic Handball is a popular sport for primary school pupils. Meath LSP & Irish Olympic Handball Association (IOHA) are working together to introduce an Olympic Handball School Programme for primary schools in Meath in 2020. Together we are working to increase participation rates in the sport of Olympic Handball and increase opportunities for children to experience new activities.
This programme is available to all primary schools in Meath who would like to incorporate Olympic Handball as part of their school sports curriculum.
Primary schools who commit to the programme will receive:
Suitable for: 3rd and 4th class students
Available to: All Primary Schools in Meath
Cost: €25 per school

In 2019 over 20 schools participated in this programme with 24 teachers receiving training and over 1000 pupils getting the chance to play Olympic Handball for the first time.
This is a fantastic opportunity for our school, and we are very grateful for the Meath LSP for organising the Olympic Handball training, the coach was fantastic and I got loads from it, thank you.
We have seen children who don’t normally get involved in team games embrace Olympic Handball, they absolutely love it.
The Blitz was the best day ever.
