Buena Park, CA, WPH Press, 3/20/18– JR WPH Southern California was thrilled to present an exciting junior handball clinic and tournament for 20 junior handball players at Boiseranc Park in Buena Park, CA on the third Sunday in March. Top players led the clinic for the youngsters, emphasizing the importance of good footwork and fundamentals, hydrating during matches, and always having fun on the court. Pro coaches also stressed the importance of being humble, playing with integrity and sportsmanship, and respecting your opponent.
The youngsters had the opportunity to demonstrate what they learned in the junior singles tournament that followed the clinic. The 20 youngsters competed in four divisions, with all of the passionate junior players displaying outstanding sportsmanship and skills.
