Mini handball taking over in Latvia

Latvia enjoyed its first taste of mini handball last summer and has already enjoyed massive success, with 49 girls and boys teams and over 400 kids taking part in a tournament held in Riga at the end of 2013.

In early October, the Latvian Handball Federation signed a SMART agreement alongside the EHF, an official EHF development programme, for the promotion of mini handball in the country. With support of the EHF in 2013, six mini handball tournaments in different cities throughout Latvia were organised.

Mini handball madness is set to continue in 2014 and the Latvian Handball Federation hopes to break the previous participant records and attract even more kids to the sport.
