Background
[edit]LCHC is affiliated to the England Handball Association[2] and currently competes in the North - Development League.[3][4] The club was established in 2001, under the name Leeds Metropolitan University Handball Club, however the organisation's name changed in 2010 to incorporate the name 'Carnegie' so as to better reflect the club's association with the Leeds Carnegie sporting brand.
The club purports to welcome students and non-students of all ages, abilities, genders and nationalities and draws players from the student body at Leeds Metropolitan University.[5] LCHC is run by a committee of students from the university, but also works in partnership with Leeds Metropolitan University's Athletic Union and University Sport and evidences the good work students can do in partnership with local communities.
