The first beach handball tournament was played in 1992 on St. Anthony’s beach in Ponza. This date is taken as the official birth of the sport. At first, its games were only for entertainment, but after two years, this sport was noticed by the International Handball Federation, which in 1994 created the first official rules of this game.Since the late 1990s, this sport began to develop around the world and gain more and more popularity. It became an official sport with its own rules and championships.In Poland, the official Polish Championships have been held for several years under the auspices of the Handball Association, which are considered the leading European tournament series. In recent years, our country has also hosted major tournaments such as the World Games, the European Club Championships and the Senior European Championships.
