In an exciting development for the handball community of St. Louis, the St. Louis Hinder Club's ambitious reconstruction project is well underway, thanks to the dedicated efforts of its members and volunteers.
The project has already achieved significant milestones. One of the standout accomplishments has been the repurposing of an old gymnastics foam pit, measuring an impressive 24 feet by 35 feet with a depth of 6 feet. This cavernous space has been transformed through meticulous effort, as approximately 600,000 pounds of rock were carefully placed and compacted using heavy machinery. Following this feat, club members collaborated to pour and seal six inches of concrete atop the rock foundation, preparing the pit for its new role in housing four state-of-the-art handball courts.
Simultaneously, the project team tackled the removal of outdated wooden court floors that could not be repurposed. This labor-intensive task involved painstakingly extracting wood and nails from the two designated courts, paving the way for the installation of salvaged flooring retrieved from the old club premises. This proactive approach ensures that at least one to three courts will soon be fully revitalized and ready for play, marking a significant step towards the realization of a dedicated Handball Only facility.
Furthermore, progress isn't confined to the physical aspects alone. The club has also initiated crucial steps towards obtaining necessary land use permits, essential for opening its doors to the membership once all regulatory approvals are secured. This administrative groundwork underscores the club's commitment to creating a vibrant hub for handball enthusiasts, promising a future filled with competitive matches and community engagement.
The project's success thus far would not have been possible without the unwavering support of current club members, dedicated volunteers, and collaborative vendors. Their collective efforts have been pivotal in overcoming challenges and maintaining momentum throughout the construction process. As the project continues to unfold, the St. Louis Hinder Club eagerly anticipates the day when its revitalized facilities will serve as a focal point for handball enthusiasts.
Stay tuned for more updates as the St. Louis Hinder Club continues its journey towards a bright and promising future in handball!
