How did we get started?

The Toledo Handball Club, home to seven (7) National 3-Wall Champions, was organized in 1980 by George Miller. The foundation of the group was formed by hosting the 1975 National 3-Wall Tournament on Labor Day weekends. Approximately 100 active handball players live in the Toledo Metropolitan area.

Currently, two 4-wall leagues compete during the cold weather months. Forty-two players participate at various skill levels. Both leagues accept new players at the start of each league session.

The Toledo Handball Club hosts the George Miller Sr. Memorial Handball Tournament every November. Players come annually from Canada, neighboring states, as well as Illinois, Maryland, and California. To accomodate the participation, the tournament is held at Bowling Green State University athletic center.

The Winter Blahs Tournament is held in January or February. When there are no other local tournaments the THC gets together with their handball buddies to put a stop to the Winter Blahs in Northwest Ohio.

During the warm weather months, Toledo Handball Club is proud to play at the finest 8 lighted 3-wall courts in the world. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sunday mornings, the Lucas County Recreation Center attracts players from Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Illinois to compete with each other and the local THC players.

The Toledo Handball Club hosts the 3-wall Under-the-Lights Tournament each June. Players come to Toledo from all over the Midwest to compete in a two-day tournament. Because the courts have lights, the tournament can be held after work on Friday and ends Saturday, so Sunday is preserved for family time.

Each Labor Day holiday, THC hosts the National USHA 3-Wall tournament at the Lucas County Recreation Center. The 5-day tournament brings 300-400 players from all over the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Ireland. National Champions are crowned in age groups from Under 13 to over 75 in both men's and women's competition. The bleachers fill with many family and friends cheering on their favorite players.
