This incident is a tremendous black eye for this sport. A school that was considering starting a program at their school, is now having serious second thoughts.

Why do I feel the need to start the AHA? - well, for starters, the USATH has a very different focus. It is too political and bureaucratic. I have complained enough about USATH, and I don't think it will ever change. But the root is deeper. Banging my head against a wall trying to convince others that my ideas (that seem OBVIOUS) are right is not enjoyable, as much as people think I like it. I just do not have the time or energy to waste doing that. I have always been a proponent of ‘put-up’ or ‘shut-up’. People in USATH organization have wished for me to disappear - so I did.

AHA Inaugural Meeting -- The AHA is going to be hosting monthly meetings at a local restaurant and showing handball games from around the world. I have a couple to get me started, but hopefully you can get me more.

The first USATH sanctioned Beach National Championships took place July 27-28, 2002 at Jacksonville Beach, Florida. As usual, Condor domination prevailed. But this recap is about more than Condor domination, it is about public awareness. Even though this is the first beach national championship sanctioned by USATH, it is not the first beach national championship hosted in this country. The CHO has hosted the beach national championships the previous two years: 2000 – Atlanta, GA; 2001 – Destin, FL. Unlike the CHO national championships, the USATH sanctioned events are not handicapped. So the team which recruits the best players would most likely have a decided advantage in winning the tournament.
