Dear Handball Friends,

It is a pleasure to welcome you on the official website of the 2nd European Younger Age Categories (M18/W18) Beach Handball Championships in Bulgaria.

This event will have a special place and importance in the 2010 handball calendar. For the second time in the history of this rapidly developing and increasingly popular discipline, a European youth top event will be organised. As the youth categories of Beach Handball are getting more organised and the competition even keener, the tournament will mark another milestone for Beach Handball.

The region of Albena offers perfect conditions and a splendid environment for the games. The “Gold Coast” of Bulgaria and the excellent infrastructure will ensure a high quality Beach Handball tournament and also great experience for the participants.

We are looking forward to the young and talented players competing for the European titles in the spirit of Fair Play. The boys’ and girls’ who mastered Beach Handball already at an early age will show exceptional abilities, skills and creativity.

On behalf of the European Handball Federation, I wish great matches and a lot of fun for the players. May the best team win!

Tor Lian
President of the European Handball Federation
