HANDBALL 2 UNIVERSITY is a program for 6th-12th grade girls.

Each week, participants will engage in an hour of handball, with the support of the MSU Handball team, followed by an hour of academic support or college prep.

Join us at MSU Mankato this school year while we explore campus facilities and resources, learn about the many degree options, and have fun playing handball!

This program will allow participants to explore various career paths and learn about the sport of handball with the support of experienced college players. The program is open to 6-12 grade girls and gender-nonconforming youth.

The program meets during the 2025 and 2026 school year on Thursdays from 4 - 5:30 pm.

Registration is now open for the 2025 season. Go HERE to register. We are excited to have the largest cohort of Handball 2 University ever!
