On the sand, there's no bouncing dribble or sticky fingers, and a missed catch comes back to haunt your hands: that's why beach handball balls are softer and lighter than indoor balls.
They are played without resin, in size 2 or size 3 depending on the specification, for summer tournaments as well as for afternoons at the beach.
A beach handball is softer to handle catches with bare hands, often wet or sandy. Its surface grips without resin, as the glue doesn't hold on the beach. Lighter, it can be easily thrown in suspension shots, and it withstands sand better than an indoor ball.
The models on this page come in size 2 and size 3, just like indoors for adult categories: size 3 for men, size 2 for women. For family use, a one-size ball will do. Indoor balls are gathered on the leisure balls page and on the training balls page.
The current discounts are in the special offers for balls, and the summer ball sales come just before the beach season.
It's possible for fun, but the indoor ball, being harder, can hurt your hands and gets damaged with sand and saltwater. A dedicated beach ball is much more enjoyable.
Rinse it with fresh water after a day at the beach to remove salt and sand, then let it dry in the shade. Direct sunlight can damage the surface.
Its softness reassures young players. Choose size 2 or a one-size ball for the little ones.
No, resin is not used on sand. Beach balls have a cover designed to grip without glue.
