Our Project.Our project has three stages, which are described below, starting on September 21, 2023. The project will have a development period that will be between three to five years to achieve professionalism. The main objective is to fight against the six major problems that the Olympic sport of traditional Handball has in the USA. These problems are: lack of competent organization that has sought to professionalize and make the sport popular, lack of courts, low number of players to generate a competitive and attractive league, lack of attraction of new American players, and consequently the lack of popularity of the sport.

Initial Stage
We will proceed to provide information about the project to the clubs that work in the development of indoor handball and to people of interest that we consider important in case they want to join the project. After this period, the project will be made public by informing and helping everyone who is interested in participating. The creation of this web page is to explain the project and the mission of the company. At the end of the first stage, a new web page will be created with the teams and information regarding the tournaments or leagues that are about to be held.
It is important to note that we do not seek the incorporation of clubs just for the fact that they are clubs, are or have been organized, nor are we going to contact them personally to ask them to please join the project. We are looking for people interested in developing a project who can understand the project and who are willing to work for it. The first teams or clubs will be created from the second stage as MLH franchises.
As a matter of respect for the owners and leaders of traditional handball clubs that have been working in the sport for a long time within USATH, we will notify them in advance because we consider the contribution of many of those who have been working on development for a long time to be of vital importance for the MLH project.
For all those interested in participating in the project, the only thing you have to do is create a team of at least 7 players, start training, and send us an email with your name, contacts, and email address. In the event that the interested party is not a leader of a current USA indoor Handball team, send us a brief reference about your experience in indoor handball and inform us where and with whom you are training and you will be contacted by us.
Objective:
Find people interested in the development of MLH and Handball Five in every city in the USA. It is important to note that MLH is not going to be only about Handball Five but also traditional handball in the future. Unless a new clear and superior project appears on the part of the future members of MLH, Handball Five will begin to be developed and professionalized. Meanwhile, we will continue to compete in traditional Handball Seven in an amateur way. The idea is to professionalize Handball competitions in all its possible versions, but to start with a new game that has not failed in the USA before and that can be much more attractive, fast and interesting according to the quantity and quality of players we have in the USA today. We have made contact with different people who can be considered future investors and they have told us that it is impossible to try to professionalize a sport that only has 500 players in the entire USA and even less so if we analyze the level of people interested in watching the traditional handball matches are played in the continent.
This project will also be sent to other countries that have similar problems to the USA (lack of courts, little popularity of the sport and insufficient number of players to form competitive leagues, so international tournaments of this new game will also be created in the future). This way we can have international tournaments of this new game in the future.

First Stage
The first stage will include the following tasks that need to be accomplished during the first year:
- We will work to make the game popular with plans to get it played in most states.
- We will proceed to analyze the people interested in participating in the project in each city, with the objective that by the end of the first year, we can already have an MLH team/franchise in the main cities of the USA.
- A non-profit association will be created to collaborate with the diffusion of the game at all educational levels and in order to facilitate the creation of new amateur teams within the entire territory of the USA, with the aim of facilitating the creation of teams and clubs in all its possible versions (children, teenagers, beginner adults, mid-level adults, seniors and professionals). With this, everyone interested in creating a club will be able to avoid spending money and time creating a non-profit association.
- Positions will be designated in the MLH, (board of directors, management positions, accounting area, marketing area, advertising, social media, tournament development and other areas necessary for the success of MLH). These positions will only be established at the end of the first year, taking into account the participation and individual contributions of each person working on the development of MLH.
- At the end of this stage, the clubs and the respective franchises will already be established, which will be granted by contracts between the parties involved. Meanwhile, each club and franchise have to be working on training and local tournaments. It is important to clarify that, according to the circumstances and requests, more than one or two franchises may extend to the same city or state. Based on participation and development dedication priorities will be assigned in the project. In case of equal participation, the date of entry into MLH will be taken into account.
- Each club that seeks to compete Handball Five just in an amateur way will only need to have at least seven players.
- We will work to make the game popular with plans to get it played in most states.

Second Stage
The second stage will include the following tasks that need to be accomplished during the second year:
- Once the first year is over, the new franchises will no longer be free, and the existing ones will have a marketing value. This is as long as the first-year goal of having a team/franchise in every state and major city in the USA has been achieved.
- The names of the future teams/franchises must be approved by the board of directors of the MLH (which will be the owners of the teams / franchises) that seek to compete in the future or compete at a professional level, must be of American origin and have the name of the city where they compete and/or train.
- A process will be created to authorize the purchase and sale of teams/franchises, which must have the acceptance of the majority of the board of directors (Owners of the franchise teams)
- We will continue collaborating in the development of new teams and clubs at the amateur level. But they will only access the professional league by competitive level, and/or purchase of a new franchise.
- More formal competitions will be developed including local leagues, state leagues, regional competitions, national competition, and international competitions.
- The purchase of clothing and sports items (handball goals, balls, and other essentials) are unified to lower costs by looking for sponsors of clothing, goals and balls.
- Clubs that compete or seek to compete at a professional level will begin to be asked to have at least 4 teams for the 3rd year or 3rd stage (1- Men's or Women's professional division, 1 team in the men's beginner division, 1 team in the Women's beginner division and 1 junior or youth team) and 2 referees.
- Once the first year is over, the new franchises will no longer be free, and the existing ones will have a marketing value. This is as long as the first-year goal of having a team/franchise in every state and major city in the USA has been achieved.
- The names of the future teams/franchises must be approved by the board of directors of the MLH (which will be the owners of the teams / franchises) that seek to compete in the future or compete at a professional level, must be of American origin and have the name of the city where they compete and/or train.

Third Stage
The third stage will include the following tasks that need to be accomplished during the third and fourth year:
- With the league already fully formed, professionalism is created with sponsors and big investors. Establishing the value of each franchise and transfer value of each professional player that participates in the competitions will be assessed. The most difficult part is not getting investors, in fact, there are already several investors interested in this project, the most difficult thing is creating competitive tournaments and leagues in the main cities and throughout the United States.
- By decision of the majority of the members of MLH, salaries of players and coaches will be regulated. As well as the forms and cost of player transfers will be regulated.

Activities to be carried out in all stages
- Search for sponsors.
- Evolve game rules.
- Appoint and modify authorities.
All these stages and processes will be carried out by decision of the majority of the franchise holders and by majority vote. That is why the selection of the franchisors is important. We must choose people with a real desire to work in the development of the project and with an exclusive interest in the development of indoor handball. We are not going to make the same mistakes of the past where people have been selected who did not know handball, who only wanted their name to appear within an organization, or who only sought personal benefits.
The periods of time are approximate and may be reduced or extended according to the circumstances and at the proposal of the members of MLH. But if we manage to achieve these goals described above, in six years we will be bringing international level coaches and players to compete in the MLH and in less than 10 years we will be contributing to the national handball team with the best backs, pivots and goalkeepers in the world.
Finally, and for those who have any doubts about the project, we ask you to simply try Handball Five. Remember that the ITF (International Tennis Federation) loses hundreds of amateur players year after year and many investors leave Tennis to move on to similar sports such as pickleball or padel. Remember that there are many sports that have their adapted and reduced version, such as Street Basketball (3 players); Soccer with 5, 7 or 9 players; rugby with seven players. And let us also remember that there are and were many companies that died or are on the verge of extinction for not adapting to the change of generation, such as Motorola, Kodak, Nextel, Blockbuster, and Toys R. Us.
It is just a matter of analyzing a little the rugby, padel, pickleball and even the Jai-Alai leagues. All of these sports mentioned above have a professional league in the USA and sell teams valued at millions of dollars. We just needed ideas and a project, now it's time to start working. We will be waiting for you to contact us.
