Carlow Olympic Handball Festival

🎉 Welcome to the Olympic Handball Schools Festival!

We're excited to introduce a brand-new festival experience for primary schools, where participation, enjoyment and belonging are at the heart of the day.

Every team will enjoy a minimum of three matches, with Olympic Handball Ireland managing all fixtures, results and scheduling—allowing teachers to focus on supporting their students and enjoying the event.

🏅 Festival Format

• Every team is guaranteed at least 3 games.

• Teams earn points throughout the day.

• At the end of the festival, the top-performing teams will qualify for the Provincial Finals.

• Qualification is an exciting part of the day, but the focus remains on providing every child with a positive and enjoyable handball experience.

✅ Guaranteed games for every team

⚠️ Spaces are limited! To ensure the best possible experience, each festival has a maximum number of teams. Once an event reaches capacity, registrations will close, so we encourage schools to book early to avoid disappointment.
