2020 has been a very challenging year on many fronts, for us all. It has also been nearly a year we haven’t gone back indoors to play the sport we love, and we surely all miss it. Back in September, our club firmly wished and had hoped to stage the 15th edition of the California […]
After a long and focused search, SF CalHeat is excited to announce the appointment of Mark Lockenmeyer to its Board of Directors.

Every team has their icon. Slave Jovanovski is undoubtedly one of the major contributors of our men’s team successes in the last few years. He has seen a lot of the club’s development – from its establishment as a NPO to the club becoming a reference in the country – and experienced it all on […]
Last week, our handball community learnt that Barry Siff, USA Team Handball CEO since April 2019, will be stepping down. This news came as a surprise for many in the United States (and abroad probably) and it is fair to ask ourselves what’s in store for the future. After years, or one could say even […]

To celebrate those initiatives, we’ve met with one of our key contributors and member of the club, Michelle Mensing. What’s your name, age, position, and role in the team/club? Hi, […]
February 23. The sun shines through the desert. Arizona prepares to welcome a hot summer. The Valley of the Sun tournament concludes. Our men’s team is packing and heading to the airport, on their way back to the Bay Area. 3 weeks later, our lives suddenly changed… In many ways, the 2019/20 season was anything […]
