Tucson, AZ, WPH Press, 8/5/24
JR WPH proudly coached weekly junior handball clinics at the 2024 Tucson Racquet Club Summer Camp, emphasizing dexterity, coordination, speed, and of course, fun! The camp directors and counselors were thrilled to have the opportunity to incorporate handball into the camp curriculum, providing the youngsters with the opportunity to learn a sport the summer campers would have likely not experienced. Certified WPH coaches led the youngsters through progressions that started with throwing the ball, catching the ball, drop-hitting, serving, and eventually playing crosscourt two-bounce.
“Handball is an incredibly challenging sport to learn, especially with youngsters, so we aim to create an environment where kids can gradually adapt to the game through a series of attainable sequences that leads to the youngsters successfully rallying,” stated WPH Master Instructor David Fink. “Many of the kids tell me that playing handball is their favorite part of the camp.”
JR WPH has introduced handball to hundreds of summer campers at the Tucson Racquet Club Summer Camp since 2013.
