What Is Olympic Handball — and Why LA 2028 Is a Big Deal for USA Team Handball
Team handball is a fast, physical, indoor Olympic sport — think soccer played with the hands, seven players a side, goals scored in a hurry. It's one of the most-watched sports at the Summer Olympics worldwide, and it's about to get its biggest American stage yet.
As host nation for the LA 2028 Olympic Games, the United States is guaranteed a place in Olympic handball. The U.S. women's national team is automatically qualified as hosts — their first Olympic appearance since 1996. The U.S. men's national team still has to earn its spot: the road to LA28 begins with a two-game qualifying series against Canada in Sioux City, Iowa on August 7–8, 2026, with the winner advancing to the 2027 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru — the primary regional Olympic qualification tournament.
USA Team Handball athletes train year-round with club programs across the country — including partner clubs like Milwaukee United Women's Team Handball and the Columbus Armada — building toward that Olympic stage. Progressive Nature's emu-based CBD recovery line is part of how they train and recover between sessions. Read the full history of USA Olympic handball and the road to LA 2028 →

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Olympic handball?
Team handball is a fast-paced indoor Olympic sport played seven-a-side, combining elements of soccer and basketball — players pass, dribble, and throw the ball into the opposing goal. It's one of the most popular sports at the Summer Olympics worldwide and returns to the U.S. Olympic program at the LA 2028 Games.
Is USA Team Handball in the 2028 Olympics?
Yes. As host nation for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, the United States is guaranteed entry in team handball. The U.S. women's national team is automatically qualified as hosts, while the U.S. men's national team must still earn its place through the regional qualification pathway that begins in August 2026.
Is Progressive Nature a sponsor of USA Team Handball?
Yes. Progressive Nature is a proud official sponsor of USA Team Handball, supporting the men's and women's national teams and the broader handball community on the road to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
What products do Team USA Handball athletes use for recovery?
Handball athletes reach for Progressive Nature's emu-based CBD line — the Transdermal Balm for deep muscle and joint relief, the Sports Rollerball for fast targeted application, the Personal Massage Oil, and the Sublingual Elixir for whole-body calm and recovery. Every product is third-party lab tested and THC-free.
Why emu oil and CBD for athletic recovery?
Emu oil is a natural transdermal carrier that helps CBD absorb deeper and faster than typical surface creams, so relief reaches the muscles and joints that take a beating in a fast, physical sport like handball. It's non-greasy, fast-absorbing, and clean.
When is handball at the 2028 Olympics?
Team handball returns to the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028 (LA28). Progressive Nature is helping support USA athletes as they train and compete for a place on the Olympic stage.
