Beach Handball Master Plan for 2008-2012

Depois de uma pausa forçada por outros compromissos, igualmente importantes, eis-me de volta, a par com o Sol, esse elemento vital do nosso Andebol de Praia.
Para recomeçar, nada como pagar promessas e aqui se completa então (na versão inglesa) o BEACH HANDBALL MASTER PLAN FOR 2008-2012, da EHF:

1) Preamble
2) Responsibilities and task distribution

Preamble
The 8th EHF Extraordinary Congress in Rome / ITA on 26/27 Sept. 08 voted in favour of
introducing a Commission to deal solely with the sport of Beach Handball. This will consist of
a Chairman and four members, with the following tasks:
• Events and Competition
• Officiating
• Game Design and Coaching
• Development and Promotion
The representatives on this new body will be elected at the next EHF Ordinary Congress,
scheduled to take place in Vienna on 26/27 September 2008, upon which the Commission
will become an active EHF Body.


Motto: Via FAIR PLAY to the OLYMPICS
The EHF Beach Handball Commission regards itself as an initiator of projects in order to
develop Beach Handball as an independent sport discipline within the European Handball
family. Furthermore the BC will support the National Federations in order to promote Beach
Handball in their counties..
The main target for the future: to lay down the foundation to become an Olympic discipline!
Both the EHF Beach Handball Commission and the EHF Office Business Unit Beach
Handball shall further develop the product “Beach Handball” as well as adapt the
relationships to external partners in Beach Handball – in particular concerning TV and
internet live streaming - to the needs of our times regarding their daily business in order to
make the product fit for the market in cooperation with the EHF Technical Commissions and
the EHF Executive Committee.


Masterplan objectives:
1. To define the principles of the basic EHF BC working philosophy
2. To formulate the main areas and goals.


Principles of the basic EHF working philosophy in the BC:

the priority

of the BC members
- Finding out the optimal balance between “traditional” attitude and “innovation”
changes
- Improvement of communication and information exchange with the target groups and
other EHF bodies
- Practicability for target groups
- Perfection of the product


Working approach:
1) 1st EHF BC meeting September 2008 (on the occasion of the EHF Congress)
- Orientation (to become familiar with the tasks defined for the BC
members)
