What is Hand the Ball?
Hand the Ball is an educational movement concept within the Swedish Handball Federation where we train leaders to create movement activities for children in today’s society. We work with the purpose of acting as a platform for positive leisure time and getting children and young people moving. The goal is to encourage children and young people towards physical activity and cooperation to prevent ill health. Hand the Ball activities are implemented with an inclusion-pedagogical approach where the individual’s differences and special needs are accommodated.
Inclusion and Communication
Hand the Ball Sweden is committed to increasing movement and play among children and young people around the country. With the green ball at the center, we focus on inclusion, communication and try to remove the pressure on performance and results. We target both schools and associations with our activity format and values, and offer training in leadership and pedagogy.
In interaction between individual needs, the activities develop both personal and social aspects.
Hand the Ball Foundation
Hand the Ball Sweden was created with inspiration from the Danish Hand the Ball Foundation, with whom we today have a close collaboration when it comes to international CSR projects. Hand the Ball Foundation was started in 2008 and has since then worked with movement for children from weak socioeconomic backgrounds in a number of countries. For example, in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, they have developed 12 Hand the Ball centers where, with the help of the green ball and leadership training, they have created movement environments for children who lack the conditions for this.
The goal is to strengthen the individual's self-confidence and provide social competence.
Svenska Handbollförbundet
Svenska Handbollförbundet
Hand the Ball stöttar tillsammans med våra fem distriktsförbund inom Svenska Handbollförbundet de föreningar som vill starta upp sociala projekt och arbeta med olika initiativ ute i samhället. Ofta är målet i dessa projekt att uppmuntra till fysisk aktivitet och samarbete för att förebygga ohälsa, gärna i områden där handboll eller idrottsrörelsen i stort har svårt att nå alla.
Föreningar inom SHF som är intresserade av att bli en del av Hand the Ball kan söka projektmedel för att starta upp rörelseprojekt i närområdet som riktar sig mot barn och ungdomar.
Svenska Handbollförbundet erbjuder löpande utbildningstillfällen inom Hand the Ball, kontakta ditt distrikt eller maila vår projektledare Jennie Linnéll vid intresse.
