USA Team Handball

We need your help!

Team USA Junior Women's National Handball Team (JWNT) has qualified for the Pan American Games (Olympics for North and South America and the Caribbean). We secured our qualification to the PanAm Games undefeated and achieved the best result for USA Team Handball in years. GOLD!

To perform well at the PanAm Games, preparation and, most importantly, equipment are essential. Our journey to Paraguay goes through Canada. The IHF Trophy, which is the first qualification tournament for the World Championship, takes place in July. After that we head to Paraguay in August.

Unfortunately, we often have to rely on our own financial resources. As you can imagine, these resources are not sufficient for 16-20 year old girls. In addition, there are huge costs for flights, hotels, food and rental fees for sport gymnasiums.

This is where each of us can step into the Olympic "Handball" game.

The girls pour their hearts onto the field and are eager to represent the USA. With PRIDE and HONOR. Each player, every single game!

If you believe it is worthwhile to make the girls' journey a little easier, we would be grateful for any support. If you would like to join us on this path to the PanAm Games and become a true investor in an unique personal and athletic future, we look forward to hearing from you.

If supporting us is not possible at the moment, which we fully understand, please talk about us. Perhaps there is someone we don't know yet who would like to walk this path with us.

Thank you for sharing!

Summer updates!

The JWNT competed just 2 weeks ago in the U19 Junior Women's IHF Trophy in Drummondville in Canada. It was a great opportunity for some of the players currently preparing for the Pan American Games debuts to team up with newcomers to the JWNT to continue building skills and showcase our development efforts.

To all our generous donors thus far, we are immensely grateful for your support! You helped our program, and you contributed to the JWNT qualifying for its 3rd appearance in a row at the IHF Junior World Championships next year! Indeed, by taking a well-deserved silver medal at the hard fought IHF Trophy, the team punched one of the 2 coveted Worlds Qualifier tickets.

It is now time for us to turn back to our Jr Pan American Games preparation. We are traveling to Paraguay in just about a week! The entire team is excited to be able to showcase its progress! We are still actively fundraising, and are hoping these players' dedication and talent will inspire many more donors to support our development project!

USA Team Handball is excited and honored to have qualified for the 2023 IHF Junior World Championship in Germany and Greece in June 2023. The qualification of Team USA and participation in a World Championship is a significant opportunity to showcase the sport of handball in the United States and abroad.

However, the burden of most of the cost to attend this tournament will be on the individual athletes and coaches. These costs are significant as they include increasingly expensive flight and travel costs as well as the daily fee for all participants during the tournament.

Funds raised here will directly support athletes and coaches in pursuing their dream of representing Team USA on the world stage.
