Our
Story
Get to Know Us
We are the Ratitas, a diverse group of women from all around the world who have come together through our shared love of handball. Our backgrounds may be different, but on the court, we fight as one. We are more than just teammates—we are friends, a family bound by our passion for the game and our unwavering support for each other.
At the heart of the Ratitas is a commitment to unity, resilience, and inclusivity. We believe that everyone who joins our team should feel welcome, valued, and a part of something bigger. Whether we’re training, competing, or simply having fun, our bond off the court is just as strong as it is on it. We push each other to be better, and when we step onto the court, nothing can stop us. We play with heart, grit, and determination, always fighting together for every point.
While we’re serious about handball, we also know how to have a good time! Whether we’re celebrating victories or enjoying each other’s company outside of practice, we value the fun and friendships that come with being part of the Ratitas.
Together, we are unstoppable.
We are the Ratitas.
