The Australian Handball Federation [AHF] is pleased to announce that at a recent general meeting, a new committee for the ACT Handball Association was established.
The AHF is confident that ACT Handball Association will continue to achieve success in the development of handball in the ACT and Australia, with each one of the committee members bringing a comprehensive and impressive experience in handball.
The members of the new committee of the ACT Handball Association and brief background information on them are as follows:
President – Anke Winnig
Anke has been playing handball for more than 17 years. She started in the German junior competitions and within the past 8 years played at the French University Handball Championships, the British University Handball Championships and in the Scottish Handball League. At the end of 2007, Anke joined her husband to come to Australia for his PhD in Physics at the Australian National University. She has since then been employed by a private company as Geo-spatial Data Analyst. Anke’s husband, Daniel Doering, is a also a key player with the Canberra Handball Club.
Secretary – Karsten Oelkers
Kasrten’s introduction to sport was through mini- handball in his home town Berlin. He spent a large part of his youth on a handball court; either playing, refereeing or as a spectator. He is a founding member of the Canberra Handball Club and has represented the ACT since May 2006. He came to Canberra to study for a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, which he hopes to finish next year. He is keen to give Australians and their kids the opportunities he had growing up in an environment of a handball club.
Treasurer – Dragan Radicoski
Dragan started handball in his early childhood with a local club in his native Macedonia but quickly changed to other sports. It took many years and a move to Australia for Dragan to take up the sport again. He plays for Canberra Handball Club and has represented the ACT since 2007. With a Ph.D. in Physical Education and a great passion for sport, he is looking forward in helping Handball grow in Australia.
General Member Sasha Petrovski
Sasha has been playing handball for a little over 3 years and has represented the ACT at two National Championships. He has been playing for the Canberra Handball Club for the last two seasons of the NSW League and participated at the Oceania Club Championships in Tahiti last year. He was originally from Sydney and has been living in the ACT since July 2001, where he now works as a Test Analyst for the Defence Housing Australia. He has a passion for all sports and has tried his hand at many, the most recent before handball being baseball. Sasha’s desire is to make handball more visible in the ACT and to watch the sport grow here, and around Australia.
Taip Ramadani
Taip has been playing handball for over 25 years. He is a former national team member who settled in the ACT at the end of 2006. In 2007 he founded the Canberra Handball club that won the NSW League in its inaugural year and lead the ACT men’s team to their first ever National Championship final. From 2007 Taip has been employed by the Australian Sports Commission as a Web Developer. He is very
passionate about developing a new wave of elite handball players in Australia.
The AHF wishes to thank ACT Handball Association’s outgoing President, Jacob Krog for his great contribution and passion for handball over the last eight years. One of Jacob’s recent achievements was organising a very successful seniors national championships held in October 2007. Jacob will continue to be an active member of the handball community as a player with the Canberra Handball Club.
