The world's best wallball players are heading to New York City! For the first time ever, the World Wallball Championships come to NYC from September 14 through 19, with matches spread across courts in Brooklyn and Queens.
This event features one-wall handball and wallball, both played against a single wall rather than inside an enclosed court. It's a fast, accessible style of play, and for plenty of athletes, it's the first version of handball they ever fall for. Opening Ceremony will be held Monday, Sept. 14, 8:30am-NOON, at City Tech College in Brooklyn (285 Jay St. Brooklyn, NY 11201). Open finals will be held Saturday, Sept. 19, in Central Park North Meadow courts with closing ceremony at the New York Athletic Club (180 Central Park South, New York, NY 10019), 6:30pm-10:30.
Whether you're competing, cheering from the sidelines, or following along from home, this is one of those weeks the handball community will be talking about for a long time.
