Sports Review – Why do we play Handball at HCS?

Highlights from the week in PE – Prep 6 Handball

Why do we play Handball at HCS? Handball is a dynamic and exciting sport. It requires speed, strength, power, stamina, endurance, fitness and above all teamwork. It is a wonderful mixture of football, basketball and a few water polo tactics thrown in. Prep 6 have really enjoyed learning the skills involved. Being able to develop the children’s spatial awareness and decision making skills can only help in all aspects of sport.
