JR WPH Harry Mellis Program

Manhattan, NY, WPH Press, 3/11/20- Junior WPH is extremely proud to support the Harry Mellis junior handball program at the Westside YMCA in Manhattan, New York, for the fifth consecutive year. Several hundred youngsters have been introduced to four-wall handball through handball initiatives since 2015, with more young-people catching the handball bug in 2020 through the outstanding Harry Mellis youth development group.

“The program is off to a great start this season,” stated 2015 World Champion and JR WPH Harry Mellis head coach Danielle Daskalakis. “We have a larger variety of high school players coming this year, which is a plus.“

“The WPH has been a great supporter of our Youth Handball program throughout the years,” stated Westside YMCA associate Raymund Gotiangco. “We are excited to have cemented a partnership with the WPH and we are grateful to have Danielle on staff.”

“The WPH cannot thank Danielle enough for her incredible commitment to giving back to the sport,” stated WPH Development Director David Fink. “Danielle is a bona fide handball superstar in her prime who is still willing to devote countless hours to introducing and coaching the game to new players every year…what could be more inspiring than that! Thank you to Danielle for leading one of the country’s premiere junior handball programs at the Westside YMCA in Manhattan.”

The JR WPH Harris Mellis program practices twice a week, transitioning from the Big Ball to Small Ball each semester. Each lesson starts with handball drills and ends with various games designed to implement the lessons from the drills and to have fun. Stay tuned for updates from the JR WPH Harry Mellis program throughout the winter.
