Handball ball packs for clubs
The lots of handball balls are aimed at clubs, handball schools and teachers who need to equip several groups at once. Ordering in bulk ensures that the balls are identical in size, weight and feel for the entire team, from beginners to adult teams, and simplifies equipment management when it's necessary to complete a category or replace worn-out balls during the year.
One ball per player, for effective sessions.
How many balls to plan for each team and session
The practical rule can be summed up as: one ball per player, plus two or three for the coach and goalkeepers. A team of fourteen licensed players will thus need around fifteen to twenty balls, which allows for seamless shooting drills without queues or constant retrieval. For specific goalkeeper sessions, where shots come in quick succession, a backup stock of about ten balls prevents interruptions.
A club with multiple categories thinks in terms of size rather than teams: two youth teams using the same size ball can share the same set, as long as their time slots don’t overlap in the gym.

Which ball size according to the category
The international regulations set three competition sizes. Size three, measuring 58 to 60 centimeters in circumference and weighing 425 to 475 grams, is used for men and boys over sixteen. For a set intended for women's teams, girls over fourteen, or boys aged twelve to sixteen, size two is chosen, at 54 to 56 centimeters in circumference. Girls' groups aged eight to fourteen and boys aged eight to twelve play with the size one, which is 50 to 52 centimeters.
Below that, size zero, at 46 to 48 centimeters, is designed for those under eight and beginners. Balls made for resin-free play are slightly smaller and lighter than those of the same size played with glue, making them easier to handle.
Storing, inflating and prolonging a set of balls
A well-managed set lasts for several years. Balls should be stored in a bag for balls or a net per team, labeled with the category and size, to prevent size three balls from ending up in the hands of young players. Before each session, checking with a pressure gauge brings each ball back to the pressure indicated near the valve: if over-inflated, it can tire the fingers and bounce badly; if too soft, it wears out its bladder faster.
Balls used with resin should be regularly cleaned with a suitable product, and the inflation needle should be moistened before entering the valve to avoid damaging it. Numbering the balls with permanent marker helps to identify those that are leaking.

Frequently asked questions
Do you need to choose identical balls in the same set?
It's not mandatory, but a consistent set offers the same feel and bounce to all players, making passing drills more regular. It also simplifies inflating, since all balls share the same reference pressure.
Can a set of match balls be used for sessions?
They can be used, but match balls, which have a finer feel, wear out quickly under repeated shots. Many clubs reserve some balls for competitions and create their session set with more durable models that are less costly to replace.
Which ball should be used for players under nine?
The youngest players should use a size zero ball, or even smaller for early learning, or a soft foam ball. A ball that is too large makes it hard to grip with one hand and hinders shooting practice.
How to know if a ball in the set needs to be replaced?
A ball that is deformed, loses its pressure from one session to another, or has a peeling cover should be removed from the set. Keep it for warm-up games, but not for shooting exercises, where its trajectory becomes unpredictable.
How many pumps and needles should a club have?
One pump with a pressure gauge per team and a few spare needles are sufficient, as needles can bend or get lost easily. Keep them in the bag for balls so they accompany the set to each session.
