Handball taster sessions served up

CALLING all sports enthusiasts - handball taster sessions are being served up in Notts.

Handball is an indoor team sport that has been described as combining all the best elements of basketball, football and water polo, with a touch of rugby thrown in.

It is a fast paced Olympic sport and Notts now boasts two public sessions in Gedling and Newark. The mixed sessions are open to complete beginners and people who have tried the sport already.

Both sessions run on a weekly basis and are lead by qualified England Handball coaches.
