Help Us Get to the World Championships: Support the Junior Women’s Handball Team!

16 Determined Athletes. 1 Dream. 100% Self-Funded.

We are the Junior Women’s Handball National Team, a dedicated group of young athletes aged 15–20 from the USA and Europe. We've achieved an incredible milestone: qualifying for the 2026 U20 World Championships!

Our journey has been filled with challenges. Balancing intense training with school, work, and family commitments, we've proudly represented our team at the PanAm Games in Paraguay and competed in the qualifying tournament in Canada. Through unwavering dedication and teamwork, we've earned our place on the world stage.

Now, we face our biggest challenge yet: making it to the U20 IHF World championships in June 2026!

Unlike many national teams, we do not receive financial support from the government or federation. Each athlete is responsible for covering all expenses, including training, travel, accommodation, meals, and tournament fees. To turn our Worlds dream into reality, we need your support.

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.
