This year, after a few
years of rest, Zagreb league is about to take place again. For the league
herself( although with the different name – Jarun league) you could say that
it’s an origin of Beach handball in Croatia, regarding that it was one of the
first organised Beach handall events on these areas.
In the first years of the
beggining of this sport( end of 2002., start of 2003.) on the initiative of
professor Zlatko Belančić and leading people linked with Beach handball( among
the reast Mr. Miljenko Simić) Beach handball league was put in motion. Many of the teams that have been keeping a constant high level
of play in Croatian Beach handball have learned their first steps playing this
league. Teams like Rašljara, Golden balls, Let Cepelin Toma soft,Trešnja club,
Salon tepiha,Popescu, Detono Zagreb can thank for their good results in
Croatian championship right to this league’s friendly character and the fact
that it took place before the start of the regular season.
This year a group of
enthusiasts and registered team leaders have decided to start again with the
project of Zagreb league, so that new generations and new teams could have a
chance to acclimatize to the level of play that is necessary for the teams to
be competent in Croatian championship.
11 registred teams in men
and 5 in women category, most of these 16 teams are playing their first ‘real’ senior
season of Beach handball, which is a good base for the future that will, we
hope, bring a constant grow of the number of teams and in the end contribute to
the conserving Croatian beach handball position and reputation that it holds
today in the Europe and the rest of the world.
BHC Zagreb will
participate with 2 men and 2 women teams, just like it did so far. Big news are
that this year our club’s junior team will also take part in this competition.
Because of really bad weather, start of the Zagreb league was postponed for the
23. May 2010.
Schedule will be finished
by Tuesday( 18. May 2010.). You can read more informations about Zagreb league at
