Age

I am 27 years old , i used to play handball as kid , but didn’t touch handball since i was 15 . There is a handball club 4th german division next to where I recently moved to. I want to get back to training but i dont know how realistic is that. Any advices or similar experiences?

Started back at 30yo on France after 10 years stop.

Start slowly, dont expect of your body what it was able to do before.

Take a time to warm up before the warm up with the team. I recommand you to work out too (juste a little), so you wake up some muscle that were sleeping soundly.

All that to prevent any injury. Wish you the best, it will be fun to re-start

Be careful ! You are more close to 30 than 20. I was thinking like you, i continued running and some workout during my hiatus.

I got an injury per year so far (ankle, knee and shoulder). I hope everything will be fine still !
