For many decades, the Australian Handball Council has held almost annual national championships, and each state has held its own state titles.[ During the 1950s' and 1960s, both the Australian Singles Schoolboys Handball Championships and the Australian Doubles Schoolboys Handball Championships were held on a regular basis. Many great champions participated these schoolboy rivalries.][ Additionally, over many decades Australians have made regular appearances at the World Junior and World Senior Titles.][ Within Australia, of more recent decades, the chief rivalries have been between Victoria and South Australia. For the past three decades, the states have generally competed at a 'midpoint' venue, often [[Warrnambool, Victoria]], over one weekend annually, for the national handball championships. In some areas, modern changes to school venues have meant the disappearance of the school's traditional handball courts, making it harder on handballers to access the game.] |
