US Team Handball Women's National Team

The USA Women’s National Team would like to honor and remember 1LT Laura Walker, a 2003 graduate from the United States Military Academy. Laura Walker was an outstanding soldier and a committed athlete. On 18 August 2005, her life was tragically cut short when her High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) hit an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in Afghanistan. She was assigned to the 864th Engineer Battalion (Heavy), 555th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (Provisional), Fort Lewis, Washington.

In the past year, the Women’s National Team (WNT) has focused on achieving the mission laid out by the USA Team Handball Federation: “To establish and promote a focused Team Handball developmental pipeline in order to achieve and sustain competitive excellence at all levels with the goal of winning gold medals.” It is with this vision in mind that the WNT moves forward in an effort to gain sponsorship to support both the developmental aspects of Team Handball, in addition to the Women’s National Team Residency Program.
