The projects : BEACH HANDBALL

The specific objectives are:
– Offer a sport that does not take up space in the facilities and equipment intended for the WSG.
– Offer a sport in an attractive environment (beach) that encourages the practice of the activity
– Offer a technically simple sport, without contact and with a low risk of injury.
– Complement the CSIT’s offer of beach sports

A competition (king of the court mode) is proposed throughout the day, adapting the playing time. Conventionally, a match is divided into two 10-minute sets where each set has 2 5-minute parts. In our case we propose a single set of 5 minutes, to make an agile and motivating competition for the participants.
The innovative nature of the activity is determined primarily by its nature as an unconventional sporting activity. Then we have to keep in mind that it is held in an informal setting like the beach. At the same time, the proposed mode of competition (king of the court) by adapting the competition time, make the proposal innovative and can motivate participants from different disciplines of the WSG to take part.

The initiative is aimed at participants from other WSG disciplines. The aim is to get closer to the beach environment where volleyball, wrestling and tennis are already held under the pretext of being able to take part in the BEACH HANDBALL tournament. The fact that you can participate in 5-minute competitions, without much knowledge, in mixed teams… should encourage the participation of the target audience.

– NOT NEEDED

– Field 27 meters long by 12 wide
– Goals
– Rubbers to delimit areas
– tapes / cones to mark the surface of the field.
– It is also advisable that the field is grouped with the other sports of the CSIT, that there is atmosphere (speakers, music…) and that the hydration of the participants is guaranteed.

– Do you think that the public authorities in the summer season will be willing to give up meters of beach to celebrate a demonstration sport without guarantees of attendance?
– Would you further adapt BEACH HANDBALL regulations to make it more accessible?
– Do you think that the collaboration of a partner is necessary to develop it or can it be promoted directly?
– Do you think that the fact that there is no conventional HANDBALL as a discipline can discourage the participation of other athletes from other disciplines?
