Hello everybody! Next, you will learn the history of a great club of handball, the ARS. This section is done specially for the people who love sport.

In the first season, they obtained

the fifth position of the province, but in only two seasons they won the first provincial juvenile championship for this club (1975/1976). They were playing only for pleasure and they were playing very good. In 1977, ARS began to create the first inferiors categories. In the two following seasons ARS won the provincial championship. In 1980, ARS played for the promotion to first division. ARS managed to win the championship of Spain that year and achieved the promotion to first division. ARS was in the first division of handball during four seasons and managed the fourth position in the season 1982/1983, obtaining the best position of this club in its history. The victories and success achieved during these years managed to increase the interest for this club and to extend the inferiors categories.

This year the season has finished and ARS obtained the ninth position. ARS has borne one more year the most important sports spectacle of our region, the handball of ―El Pandero‖. The assessment of this year is very positive. Teamwork, discipline, perseverance, and humility define the handball team of our city Palma del Río.
