Cody Dominik

Personal

First discovered handball while watching the 2016 Rio Olympics on television. Intrigued by the sport, he did some research and learned that the Los Angeles Team Handball Club was hosting the SoCal Beach Handball Championships in Huntington Beach just a few weeks later. He attended the event, connected with members of the handball community, and earned an opportunity to try out for the Junior National Team. After making the team, he steadily developed as a player, eventually becoming team captain and continuing his progression into involvement with the Senior National Team. A graduate of St. John Bosco High School Class of 2018, he went on to attend University of Oregon, where he graduated in June 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration focused on Sports Business and a minor in Media Studies. He currently works for the Los Angeles Angels (Major League Baseball franchise). He is the son of Jeremy and Tara and the brother of Katelyn.
