Key Information
Handball is one of the most popular sports in Europe and the sport is quickly growing in popularity in the UK.
Scottish Student Handball is supported by Scottish Handball Association and together they aid the student teams and officials and organise the competitive handball leagues.
There are two main leagues – One exclusively for students (SSS) and one national league (SHA) (2 main national leagues for men). The Scottish Student Handball matches run between October and February. Following the initial matches, there is a League Finals day, where the best teams compete for the league trophy.
Handball is constantly growing and developing, but there are great opportunities for competitive and recreational matches!

Alice Hedemo
International Sports Management Masters student Alice is no stranger to the student handball scene, playing alongside holding club committee and SSS Sports Group positions.
Alice also plays for the Tryst77 club and wants to use this role to help improve recruitment and visibility across all of Scotland’s student handball clubs.
I’m currently studying a Masters in International Sports Management at Heriot-Watt University. I’ve been playing Handball with the University as well as with the senior club, Tryst77, meaning sports often keeps me busy in the weekends!
