    Rossall Schools Open Championship Results

    (Sponsored by Pilling Gloves and the Rugby and Eton Fives Coaching Agency)

    Prevously called the International Youth Fives and Handball Championships

    Various British schools are now playing at least two codes of the sport. The act of striking a ball with gloved hands is common to every form of Fives/Handball that is played in its various forms in over fifty countries in the world. Each country has a very different code of game, using courts, rules, balls and gloves that bear little resemblance to those used in other countries. Fives has always been a global sport, but never a truly international one, since it is impossible to create an arena in which all Fives/Handball players can compete on level terms. 'Fives' is just one of a large number of official handball sports played throughout the world.

    The Rossall Schools Open Championship brings together the various codes of Fives and Handball. The eight courts at Rossall School are the perfect natural arena on which to bring together players of any form of Fives since the courts are a hybrid of Rugby, Eton and Winchester Fives.
