Development


The Oceania Handball League has partnered with The Australian Sports Foundation, a Not-for-Profit organisation and Australia’s leading sports fundraiser. Please follow the link to ASF’s official fundraising website to learn more about our project and how to get involved: https://asf.org.au/projects/ohl/.

The Oceania Handball League will be created by offering franchises to clubs using the franchise model. When the franchise model begins in 2019/20, it will develop the athletes that will participate in World Championships and enable them to participate in the Olympics in Paris 2024. To further develop handball in the other 5 Oceania countries to assist further entry into World and Olympic championship tournaments according to international rules. This model will guarantee Olympic medal achievements at the Olympics in LA, 2028. Franchised clubs will contribute a single annual fee from which all costs related to the management, organisation and conduct of the League will be met, including the cost of team travel and accommodation and competition venue, advertising and broadcast costs. Underpinning the League is a commitment to the development of handball in the Oceania and Asia-Pacific region through the employment of professional players and coaches whose roles will include the administration of development programs and by the allocation of surplus funds of the Oceania Handball League to the participating National Federations for the purpose of development of handball through their own programs. Participating franchisee clubs will benefit from Handball Academy; 1 head coach + 3 experienced players working with young professional players = 4 pairs of trainers or they can work individually. Each trainer can train a minimum of 10 students per hour x 5hrs a day = 50 students x 8 trainers= 400students per day x 5 days a week = 2000 students. 40 weeks in a year = 80,000 students will train at the 24 franchise handball club academies = minimum 1,920,000 students enrolled at OHL.Inc Handball Academy. Also, sponsorship, social gambling rooms, merchandise and spectator funded income supported by extensive broadcast coverage produced by A&OHL TV of all matches (22 championship league games + 9 final four games = 31women and 31 men’s league games) through satellite television, provided free to air via the Satellite Community Television Incorporated (SCTV), ARENA sport, Eurosport and many other Australian and international sport channels.

About US

ABOUT US

The Oceania Handball League is a company established to create an elite club handball competition for both men and women, initially in Australia and then expanding into the Oceania and Asia-Pacific region. The concept and design of the Oceania Handball League is based on a franchise model developed by Yacholl & Company Pty Ltd.Management of the Oceania Handball League is proposed to be comprised of representatives from the International Handball Federation, Oceania Handball Federation, Australian Handball Federation, SSS, Domestic Sport Management Company, PR. Gold Maxx Plus and OHL PTY LTD

Ljubisa Jeftic, graduated P.E. teacher has been developing this business plan for over fifteen years with the primary idea to establish an Australian Handball League Franchise that is a unique commercial sporting opportunity combining the essential components of grass roots sporting development with a world-class competition. He developed the first organised handball club in Australia, as a separate sector within the Rosebury Adamstown soccer club, developed the first handball academy in Australia and Oceania and was one of the main initiators for creating a state handball league in NSW, VIC and QLD. Also, he organised the first Australian handball club tournament in which the men's team were two-time winners and the women's team won second place twice. From his club and academy four men players and two women players played for the Australian national team at the Olympics. Also, he created more than 20 junior state and national players for both men and women teams and trained handball to over 300 students weekly and another four Olympic sports: tennis, volleyball, basketball and soccer.

Danina Jeftic, a former player of the Australian senior handball national team and graduate from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

Kristina Jeftic, graduated Philologist and Master of Strategic Public Relations from the University of Sydney, who have decided to bring this business plan to realization.

The OHL.Inc. executive board has 25 extremely qualified members including the founders; two solicitors, CEO who will run the league, IT expert, programmer and engineer, SEO, PR experts and marketing professionals, gambling advisor and architect, building construction engineer for sport- social- gambling facilities, scouting and statistics personnel, accountant, TV and media representatives, doctors and specialists for sport injuries. The remaining members are handball experts who will be head coaches and state managers in all six states, with two CEOs of the Australian Handball Academy (1M x 1W). They will scout 24 European coaches and 168 players. All of them will work on developing handball in Australia. Head coaches will be experienced in either coaching or playing or both, among which will be Olympic medalist, world and European medal winners; Svetlana Kitic, CEO of the Australian Handball Women's Academies, the very best women's handball player of all time, has Olympic, world and European gold medals. This team of people are guaranteed to accomplish and make this project successful.

The development of the Australian Handball League therefore, seems imperative should Australia wish to become a world-class Handball nation. Thus, it would seem that securing the first objective by developing the Australian Handball League will have a meaningful and positive effect on the Australia's Olympic handball preparation.
