IF Hallby, the local handball club, competes in the Swedish second division. They play their matches at Idrottshuset, which is pretty central. The team is being coached by Johan Pettersson, who is still registered as a player as well. Johan Pettersson, by the way, is an eminent figure in world handball. Up until 2005, he played for THW Kiel, which can be said to be Real Madrid's counterpart in handball. He was also a member of the-then invincible Swedish national team of the '90s and early 2000s.
Hallby, comprising fairly young players, promises a truly amateurish sports spirit and equally moving games. Browse www.hallbyhandboll.se for the club's schedule if interested.
