Handball: A rising sport?

    It seems that a year ago this sport wasn't even popular to CSA students but it suddenly bloomed out of nowhere. There was actually a handball club last year (A.Y 2014-2015) but it was not as popular as it was today. I was part of that Handball club and if my memory serves me right I think it's the first Handball club that was made in CSA. I don't know with my other teammates but I didn't really intend to play the sport seriously since I really wanted to be part of the football club but sadly there were no more slots left for me and that's why I went to Handball club since I really like sports and I just wanted to try out new things. The sport was really unique to us (Handball members) since we barely know about it and it's not really talked about in the school or even the news.

   I had a small experience about the sport and it's a like a combination of futsal and basketball. In my opinion, it's actually a great sport but it's just really under rated in the Philippines and since a lot of Filipinos are into basketball, even if Handball was talked about i feel that basketball would still overcome handball based on the people's interest.

   It's great to see that Handball suddenly bloomed Colegio San Agustin- Makati since it's great to see a new generation of sport starting from a small community. They hosted try-outs for it and a lot of boys actually tried it and based from what I hear from my friends that got in the club, they actually really like it and the opportunities are imaginable. The Handball U17 boys team might actually go to Sweden and Brazil and it's so surprising since they've only been playing for a while and suddenly they get an opportunity to play International. If this will be pushed through then let's hope they will bring back the bacon with pride and safety. Good luck CSA Handball U17 boys!
