Welcome to the page dedicated to our 15th California Cup! This year’s event is scheduled to begin at 4 PM on Friday, February 4 and will conclude no later than 5 PM on Sunday February 6. Same as previous years, the event will be held at the Centerville Jr. High School, 37720 Fremont Blvd, Fremont, CA 94536. This will be a USATH Sanctioned Event and a qualifying tournament for the 2022 USATH Elite Nationals.

The tournament is limited to six (6) women’s and eight (8) men’s teams and will be run in a round-robin format with placement matches on Sunday. All games will be contested on a regulation court and will be officiated by at least one USATH certified referee and according to current IHF rules. Please note there will be no video review available, regardless of whether or not a live stream is set up.

Please note that as a USATH sanctioned event all players need to be USATH members and have passed their safe sport training course. Tournament registration and player membership will be handled via USATH Membership Platform Sports:80 

Please read the following participation requirements carefully:

  1. The registration fee is $650 per team (must be paid in US dollars).
  2. Complete your registration on SPORT:80, including a $250 non-refundable deposit (see payment methods on page 2), by Tuesday November 30, 2021 to secure your place in the event. Prior to registering, please contact us to make sure there’s still availability.

  6. Each team must post a sportsmanship bond of $300 that will be kept in escrow and returned back to the team at the conclusion of the tournament if:
    1. None of the team members or officials is disqualified from a game for one of the violations described in the most current version of the USATH competition rule book, i.e. rough/dangerous play, unsportsmanlike conduct, verbal abuse or physical assault.
    2. None of the team members uses unapproved glue during the event. Due to concerns expressed by the Centerville Jr. High, we’ll only allow water-soluble glue (any brand).

This will be a USA Team Handball sanctioned event counting toward the Wild Card race for the US Nationals Elite division, meaning all players must be in good standing with their USA Team Handball membership and follow player eligibility rules set forth in the USATH Competition Rule Book. Players who are not in good standing or do not comply with eligibility requirements will not be allowed to play.
