What Haslum HK does
Haslum Håndballklubb (Haslum HK) is a Norwegian member-owned handball club founded in 1999 as a spin-off from Haslum Idrettslag (established 1938), headquartered at Nadderud Arena, Haukeveien 11, 1357 Bekkestua, in the Bærum municipality of Norway. The club competes in Norway's 1. divisjon menn for the 2026/27 season after relegation from the top-flight REMA 1000-ligaen, and has been awarded the Norwegian Handball Federation's elite license (elitelisens) for the same season. Its playing base spans from children's handball schools (Håndballskole, 3-5 day programs for players born 2014-2018) through youth elite camps (Elitehåndballcamp, for players born 2011-2014) to senior competitive squads, supplemented by beach handball teams and the newly launched Haslummila running event (inaugurated June 2026 with 660 participants).
Haslum HK does not operate a proprietary technology platform; communications and operations rely on a WordPress website, a mobile app available in the Apple App Store and Google Play, third-party ticketing through woow.no, and registration via Club Spond and RaceDays. The club's revenue model is diversified across recurring and transactional streams: annual membership fees and player registration at multiple age tiers, sponsorship partnerships (including a 1 million NOK per-season equipment deal with SELECT Sport and exclusive retail partnership with Anton Sport Bekkestua), matchday ticket sales at the 2,050-capacity Nadderud Arena, and recurring micro-donations through the Støtte app, Norsk Tipping's Grasrotandelen program, and MyGame's club-support program, which returns 20% of subscription revenue to registered clubs.
The club is governed by a volunteer board chaired by Kirsten Hovde and operates with a hybrid value proposition targeting two principal segments: competitive handball players seeking a development pathway from youth to elite, and families in the Bærum catchment area seeking accessible community sports and event participation. Recent strategic priorities include a cooperation agreement with Asker SK Håndball effective 1 May 2026, the appointment of former national team player Erlend Mamelund as head coach and sports director, and the diversification of revenue through Haslummila and other community programming.
