One league is the Northeast Team Handball Conference (NETHC). This league was created by my coach, Christian Latulippe, and is comprised of two men and two women's division mostly in the (here's a big shocker here) northeast region of the US. This year the league merged with some teams from the Quebec League to give more games to people on both sides of the border. For the most part, since our team is a lot bigger this year, my coach will use these games (which are less competitive) to help our newer players gain experience.
The second league is the Circuit Quebecois (Quebec League), which is based out of Canada. There are nine teams (including the USA) in the senior women's division, and the level of play is the highest in North America. This gives us several quality games. Last year we had a record of 10-8, and came in third place after making it to the play-offs. We beat every team in the league at least once, but couldn't take it all. This year we're hoping to win the Quebec League- it certainly won't be easy, but it is definitely a worthy goal!
Here's our game schedule- if you notice, we have our first games this weekend! I'm really looking forward to starting the season, but it will be interesting. Since there are several new people who don't have much game experience, I think Christian will use the weekend to give them a real feel for the game. Although, it will be good practice for everyone.
