MUSCAT, July 31 The Oman U-19 national handball team will kick off its initial phase of preparations for the upcoming third Asian Youth Games on Saturday with a one-full day training camp scheduled to take place at the indoor hall of Oman Club. The multi-sport event is set to be hosted by Bahrain from October 22 to 31, and will see the participation of 45 countries across 24 sports, including handball which will begin on October 19, prior to the official opening ceremony. Oman team's last appearance in the Asian Men's Youth Handball Championship was in July 2024 in Jordan, which served as a key developmental experience for many of the current players. This first training session for the team will aim to assess the current squad of 32 players, allowing the technical team led by national head coach Yahya al Mashari and his assistant Hassan al Mamari to evaluate the players' technical and physical capabilities as well as their discipline and responsiveness to coaching instructions. Based on these assessments, the coaching staff will shortlist the best talents who will advance to the intensive preparation phase in the coming weeks leading to the continental event.
