Size 1 Handballs

Size 1 handballs for young handball talents

Size 1 handballs are perfectly suited for youth players aged approximately 8 to 12 years, focusing on D-youth teams and girls in the C-youth category. These balls are smaller and lighter than standard models and promote better technique in young handball players. With a circumference of 50 to 52 centimeters and a weight between 290 and 330 grams, a size 1 handball provides more control during dribbling, passing, and throwing. This directly contributes to a player’s confidence, enjoyment, and technical development.

Who are size 1 handballs for?

These handballs are specially designed for young players aged 8 to 12 years, particularly children active in D-youth teams or girls in the C-youth category. Within this age group, it is crucial that the ball fits well in the hand and is easy to grip. Balls that are too large or too heavy can lead to poor technique or even frustration during play. The right size ball enhances game awareness and encourages a natural playing style. This allows youth players to develop their skills in a way that matches their motor skills.

Specifications of size 1 handballs

A size 1 handball typically has a circumference of 50 to 52 centimeters and weighs approximately 290 to 330 grams. This size ensures the ball is easy to handle for small hands. The outer layer is usually made of soft synthetic material for better grip, even without resin. Some models feature an extra foam layer for more cushioning and comfort when catching.

Training ball or match ball: what suits you?

The difference between a training ball and a match ball lies in their finish and construction. Training balls are often softer and more wear-resistant, making them ideal for repeated use. Match balls are designed to meet specific playing characteristics such as optimal bounce and precise control. If you play once or twice a week, a sturdy training ball is more than sufficient. If you train more often or play at a higher level, a match ball offers better consistency and grip. There are also size 1 beach handballs specifically designed for outdoor sand use, perfect for young players during summer competitions or clinics.
