Looking for a women's recreational handball crew

Hey there. So, back in the day, I spent about ten years training in handball, but life eventually caught up with me through a few injuries, which effectively ended my competitive days. Since then, I’ve occasionally reunited with some old teammates who also hung up their jerseys; we’d rent out a local gym and play a few matches every now and then—it was honestly pretty terrible and amateurish, but we had an absolute blast doing it. Most of my life has been spent here in NYC now, and it’s been roughly eight years since I’ve even held a ball, though the itch to play hasn't gone away. I constantly find myself dreaming about being back on the court, and I’ve even tried searching for a recreational group that meets once or twice a month, but I haven't had any luck so far. Basically, I'm looking for women who used to play and might want to get together occasionally just to catch a pass and relive those old glory days for the sake of nostalgia.🙂If anyone knows of a group like this or if you're interested in starting something new from scratch, please reach out. Thanks!

Does anyone have any actual info on this? Please, I’m begging!

A mere matchbox?

Count me in!

wiredskipper52...🙂 I can barely find anyone else who gets me..😁

😉) Once I finally make the move to NYC, I’ll be arrivingggggggg

So far, we've had five ladies chime in... I say we hang tight for a little longer before we all touch base and head out for a coffee 🙂

I'm not sure if you guys have managed to pull together a handball squad yet, or if you're even open to taking on new players. If the roster isn't full, let's get a team together.😕

I don't think that's the case... and I would certainly jump in myself, if the offer is still on the table.

So, I found this club over in Brooklyn that’s looking for girls interested in handball. The coach told me to just swing by this Monday at 8 PM to check out a practice and see what the vibe is like.
Let me know if you're down to join!

For context, I'm 19 and have zero experience with handball. I told the guy straight up, and he said it was no big deal. Just show up... 🙏

I’d love to jump in on this. Do you guys actually train??

I actually have some great news!!! Though I feel like nobody even looks at this board anymore..

I found this local club, RK Recreational—they only have a men's team right now. I emailed them to see if they had a women's side, and they said no, but if I can pull together 7 to 10 girls/women, they’ll gladly set us up with a gym, practice sessions, games, everything!

Please DM me if you actually want to start training this month (send over your primary email so we can chat and get things organized)! Also, if anyone can help me reach the ladies who posted on this thread earlier, let me know. It's been months since I've heard back from some of them via PM.

Fingers crossed I get at least 10 people to respond. Best,

Sounds good to me. I'm in. I'll shoot you a DM.

Hey ladies, sorry I'm jumping in a bit late to the party, but here I am... Did you guys manage to get a crew together yet? Because if so, count me in! I am seriously dying to play

I'm totally on board with this too, let me know what you guys think!

Hey there!

Hey ladies, I’m checking in about the recreational handball league—has anything actually happened with that yet? Cheers.

I’m totally on board with 🙂—I actually trained back about 7 or 8 years ago for a little bit, and honestly? I still kick myself for not sticking with it. But man, this looks like such an incredible opportunity!

Honestly, I think this opportunity is just absolutely incredible, if I do say so myself!

This looks like a killer opportunity, though it’s a bummer it isn't happening in Indianapolis. 😢

I’m all in! Just let me know if you guys need a goalie!
