Those schools play other amateur clubs and participate annually in the Collegiate National Championships, one for men and the other for women, with matches taking place over a 3-day period.

On 28 October 1926 the first field handball game was played between the Turnverein Union City and the First German Sport Club of Brooklyn.
In 1978, the National Teamball League was formed with six clubs: the Detroit Hawks, Chicago Chiefs, Boston Comets, New York Stags, Philadelphia Warriors and Pittsburgh Points.
[11] The Hawks-Chiefs matchup was the only NTL match known to have been televised; in fact, it was one of the few known to have been played, as press coverage of the loop was almost nonexistent.
After a win over Detroit (the Hawks' first loss of the season) on February 3, 1979, the Comets record was reported as 4–0, including two victories over Philadelphia in December.
Whether the league's first season (scheduled to run through April 1979) was completed is unknown; most likely, the NTL died quickly and disappeared.
