The Canadian Handball Association (CHA) is the national governing body of 4-wall handball and wallball. There are numerous provincial associations that help promote the game locally. We are dedicated to providing high-quality sports competition for athletes of all levels. We welcome players of all ages and give them the best opportunities to learn and grow.
One of the oldest of ball games, handball has been traced back to the baths of Rome. The ball, the four-wall court, and the system of scoring were developed during the 18th century, when the game was a popular pastime in many parts of Ireland. The Irish ball had a cork or wood centre covered by woolen thread and thin pieces of cork or rubber. The outer cover was made of thin sheepskin. Today, gloves are deerskin leather, and the balls are rubber.
