HANDBALL’S BEST COMMUNITY ~ THE ULTIMATE FAN EXPERIENCE ~ THE GAME’S GREATEST PLAYERS
APRIL 21-23, 2017 ~ SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
Witness History as the World Players of Handball team up with the Ace Clean-Up Crew @ the Sports Mall in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the conclusion of the Race4Eight Professional Handball Tour of 2016/17 on ESPN3 (HERE).
The Tournament had a cap set at 110 since the day the entry flipped live back in May of 2016 and activated that cap in late March. Not to worry …the Aces Team opened the cap to some last minute players on a waiting list (April 2nd). You can get on a waiting list by contacting the event manager, Matt Stalsberg; while attaching Dave Vincent: Matt@AceDisposal.com & vincent@wphlive.tv (respectively). Spectators are encouraged to come and support the tournament (to be held at the Sports Mall @ 5445 S 900 St East, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84117).
Regardless of the cap, junior players are encouraged to come and join in the festivities, participate w/pros!!
Junior & Amateur divisions and events scheduled, pro player clinics and competitions all set. The general theme of this event is: Anyone Can Play! (as long as you get in before the deadline and the total event cap of 110 players~whichever comes first)
