USA Team Handball Announces Partnership with SportPharm to Support Medication Management, Athlete Health, and Performance

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- USA Team Handball today announced a new partnership with SportPharm, a full-service pharmacy and national leader in sports medicine pharmaceutical services, to advance medication safety, athlete care, sports medicine education, and injury recovery initiatives across USA Team Handball’s national team programs.
Through the partnership, SportPharm will work with USA Team Handball and its approved medical personnel to advance athlete wellness education, medication management, sports pharmacology, travel medicine, recovery science, and injury recovery support. The partnership will also bring SportPharm’s athlete-care resources, sports medicine products, and medication recovery solutions to the environments where handball national team athletes train, travel, and compete—from the training room to the sideline.

"SportPharm occupies a rare lane in sports medicine, combining clinical pharmacy expertise with practical solutions designed for the unique realities of training rooms, travel, and competition environments,” said USA Team Handball CEO Michael King. “[USATH Chief Medical Officer] Dr. Demetri Menegos has continually approached his role with lofty ambition and successfully assembled, and repeatedly expanded, a sports medicine team of uncommon quality in service to handball athletes across our growing national team programs and performance.

Partnership with SportPharm positions us to sustainably equip those professionals with the top-tier, curated toolsets they need to serve elite handball environments. As our national team activity continues to scale, the people and partners that enhance our ability to support athlete care, recovery, travel readiness, and performance education are more important than ever.”

The partnership comes during a period of continued growth for USA Team Handball, which now supports 13 national team programs across indoor, beach, wheelchair, and development-age pathways. As the organization builds toward LA28 and expands its domestic and international activity, athlete health and performance support remains a central priority.

“We are honored to partner with USA Team Handball and support its national team athletes and medical staff,” said Brandon K. Welch, PharmD, President of SportPharm. “As a pharmacist, I believe medication safety, medication compliance, and clinical expertise are essential to providing the highest standard of care for athletes. Our CEO, Robert Nickell, founded SportPharm with a vision of advancing pharmaceutical care and medication compliance in sports. We are proud to continue that vision through this partnership by delivering specialized pharmacy services and medication management solutions that support athletes and the healthcare professionals who care for them.”

SportPharm’s collaboration with USA Team Handball will include educational and thought-leadership opportunities connected to athlete wellness, recovery, sports medicine, travel medicine, and performance initiatives, as well as plans for public-facing health and recovery content.About USA Team Handball
