Christmas Kempa: gift ideas under 50 €
In handball, we call a « kempa » this lobbed pass caught in the air and shot in one motion, named after the German player Bernhard Kempa: a Kempa is therefore a gift to everyone who has ever attempted the move. The brand that bears his name is focused on handball, and you can see that on this page.
Spectrum Synergy balls, training jerseys and sweatshirts, women's shorts and indoor shoes for young people are all featured here.
Spectrum Synergy and Buteo: the Kempa ball
The balls on this page mainly belong to the Spectrum Synergy family, available in Primo, Plus, and Pro versions, with colours ranging from Swedish blue to neon yellow. The Buteo, in orange and black, completes the selection. For a player who wants to practice with their own ball, it's a gift that will be used straight away.
Emotion, Player, Core: dressing for handball
These three lines include jerseys, shorts, sweatshirts, and jackets designed for the game. Emotion is the most prominent, followed by Player and Core, with Prime and Poly to round it off. This fabric mixes easily with a club's kit, and the sober colours go with everything.
Wing and Kourtfly for the little ones' feet
The indoor shoes on this page are mostly children's models: the Wing, in white with green or aqua accents, and the Kourtfly, available in blue, purple, neon yellow, or pink. For a young player moving from outdoor trainers to indoor shoes, it's an important step.
Women's shorts, undershirts, socks: the detail that changes everything
Female players can find tailored shorts here, in black, navy, or white. The undershirts, leggings, and Kempa socks, which are more understated, are the ones that wear out the quickest: giving new ones shows you care about their training routine.
Resin and Pro backpack: pre-match essentials
A tub of Kempa resin improves ball grip where the hall allows, and the Pro backpack stores shoes, kit, and a water bottle for the journey. These are two practical gifts for a player who juggles training and matches and likes to arrive prepared.

Frequently asked questions
What Kempa gift should I give to a handball player?
A Spectrum Synergy ball is a hit at all levels. For a player who already has their ball, a sweatshirt or an Emotion jacket is great for warming up or wearing off the court.
Where can I find a cheap Kempa ball for Christmas?
The Kempa balls within this budget are on this page. Filter by product family, then by size, to get straight to the point.
What ball size for a female player?
Size 2, like all females from the age of fourteen. Before this age, it's generally size 1, but the coach will confirm based on the category she plays in.
How does the kempa work?
A player lobs the ball over the defence to a teammate who jumps into the area, catches it in the air, and shoots before landing. Bernhard Kempa invented this move in the fifties, and the brand took his name.
How to choose the size of a child's Kempa shoe?
Measure their foot while standing, at the end of the day, and add about half a centimetre for comfort. Then compare with the sizing guide on the product page, as sizing can vary from brand to brand.
