Gracemount Edinburgh Handball Club was founded a few years ago and we are developing the club to create chances for as many possible kids to start playing handball. We now have several youth teams including super minis, minis, juniors, and youths. Our mens team also competes in the Scottish Handball League, Scottish Cup and British Cup.
Handball is a growing sport in Britian and one of the largest indoor sports in Europe. Handball is at present being promoted in Great Britain to kids through a development programme and for the first time a British team will take part in the Olympics, at London 2012.One local player from Gracemount has already been selected for the Olympics training squad.
To develop our youth teams we grab every opportunity to better equip our players and the new Daily Record "kit for kids" action is a unique chance to get sport kits for our youngest players. Vouchers for the "free kit for kids" promotion will appear in the Daily Record and Daily Mirror from 23 February onwards, for ten weeks, daily.
We need thousands of vouchers and ask you to help us get our target number of vouchers. To find out more about the promotion visit www.dailyrecord-kitsforkids.com Collected vouchers can be mailed to: Fred Wallace, Coaching and Safety Training (Developing Handball in Scotland), 36 Stonylee Road, Cumbernauld, G67 2LT
We would be most grateful if you could help us collect these vouchers and in doing so help us give more kids a chance to play 'the most exciting game of the 21st century'.
Many Thanks for your support. If you are interested in playing handball please cotnact Fred on fred.wallace@scottishhandball.com or cal on 07786396841
