Grassroots Charter

On the eve of the 17th Ordinary EHF Congress in Andau, Austria, the European Handball Federation and 19 member federations set another milestone for the development of grassroots handball in Europe, becoming the first signatories of the new Christensen Grassroots Charter.

The Charter outlines rights, duties and responsibilities of the EHF and signatory member federations when it comes to the development of grassroots handball. Its purpose is to further develop such activities by supporting, monitoring, measuring and rewarding federations who commit to grassroots handball and show outstanding results.

Every member federation can file an application to the EHF to become a signatory to the Grassroots Charter. The EHF then starts the assessment process to ensure that the applicant meets the relevant requirements.

Upon signing the Charter, the member federation agrees to follow its guidelines.
