How to combine a love for handball and a profession in the field of speech therapy? Maida Arslanagic, a former professional handball player and member of the Croatian national team, and today a successful woman behind the HandbALL IN project – a sports inclusive program for children and youth with developmental disabilities has the answer to the question. The basis of the program is handball, and recently also beach handball. What is the link, how HandbALL IN story began, and what are the plans for the future, Maida told us in a pleasant conversation ahead of the 15th edition of the Jarun Cup, when you will be able to see the HandbALL IN program in action.

 

This year’s collaboration with the Jarun Cup is not the first collaboration of the HandbALL IN with the beach handball project. Last year, you were in Novalja as part of the “Novalja4kids” program, where free beach handball training sessions were held. What is the plan for this year and the Jarun Cup?

I am glad that we are continuing our successful cooperation this year, not only at the Jarun Cup but also through the “Novalja4kids” workshops that will be held this summer.

Where did the idea come from and how did the collaboration with the organizers of the beach handball tournament begin?
