2026 Handball Coaching Conference

Handball Ontario will be hosting a free provincial Coaching Conference later this year, bringing together coaches from across Ontario for a focused and collaborative professional development experience. The conference will be open to current coaches as well as those new to the sport, making it a valuable opportunity for anyone interested in developing their coaching skills and contributing to the growth of handball in the province.

The event will feature a mix of practical on-court sessions and classroom-based learning, covering topics such as athlete development pathways, modern handball tactics, coaching methodology, long-term athlete development, and best practices in safe and inclusive sport environments. A special session dedicated to teaching handball in schools will also be included, providing guidance and resources for coaches and teachers introducing the sport to young athletes in educational settings.

In addition to formal learning, the conference will emphasize connection and collaboration, giving coaches the opportunity to share ideas, discuss challenges, and build networks within the Ontario handball community. The event reflects Handball Ontario’s commitment to strengthening coaching standards and enhancing the quality of athlete experiences across the province.

Further details, including dates, location, and registration information, will be announced in the coming months. Coaches are encouraged to stay tuned for updates as planning continues. Until then, here is a link with coaching resources.

The Coaching Conference represents another step forward in Handball Ontario’s ongoing efforts to invest in education, leadership, and the long-term development of handball in Ontario.
