Leisure Kicks - The essencial sport and leisure guide

Much like football, you simply need a standard shorts, t-shirt and sensible shoes to get started. However, if you’re interested in playing the competition version of the game, your first step will be finding a court! Once that’s done, here’s a short shopping list before you hit the gym:

Ball: Of course your first purchase should be a handball itself! These look like a football but slightly smaller, are fairly hard and you can find a selection of them.

Gloves: When catching a hard ball at high speeds, hand protection is a must. You won’t have seen professionals wearing these, but as a beginner they are highly recommended.

Knee/elbow pads: When diving onto a hard gym floor, you will want to make sure you are protected from serious scrapes and bruises. Pick some up so you’re prepared for when things get rough.
