LA Team Handball Secures First National Championship in 16 Years
Los Angeles, CA – LA Team Handball has clinched the USA National Championship title, marking a significant milestone as their first championship win in 16 years. The victory was secured this past weekend during a tournament hosted in Los Angeles, which was lauded by participants as one of the best-run handball events in over a decade.
A Championship Season and New Leadership
The team’s success follows a period of transition, with new ownership and leadership taking the helm just five months ago. Martha Higareda, alongside the team owner, has played a pivotal role in supporting the team through tournaments, health challenges, and business operations. The championship win is particularly noteworthy as it came shortly after the birth of the owners’ twin daughters.
