HANDBALL Federation of Nigeria (HFN) has concluded plans for a one day coaches and referees seminar, which has been scheduled for July 31 in Minna, the Niger state Capital.

With 2010 Handball Rules and Regulations in focus, states are required to send their technical coaches and referees and other technical officials to attend the seminar  en-mass in order to benefit from the rich knowledge of the experts that would conduct the seminar.

HFN secretary-general, Olusola Luke who disclosed this in Lagos said the skill acquisition seminar  is very important  and mandatory  to all states since all the Handball rules that will be applied at the forthcoming National Sports Festival in Port Harcourt River State  would be revealed.

“It  will serve as a big study case for the forthcoming National Sports Festival holding in Port Harcourt River State in December “, Olusola added.

He also informed that feeding, accommodations and transportation to and fro for the participants would  be the responsibility of the states.

He however, advised states to ensure that names of their nominees for  the seminar gets to the Handball  Federation on or before July 15, in order to ease logistic problems .
