Welcome
The NCHA is a voluntary organization composed of handball players who want to contribute to the "Perfect Game." There are many ways to contribute, including membership, coaching and mentoring young handball players, supporting the Handball Hall of Fame, joining the NCHA Board, contributing your time, talents, and money, or playing in our Regional Tournament.
History
Handball has a long and glorious history in Northern California, dating from the Great California Gold Rush. Among the many who came to Northern California in search of gold were the Irish, who brought the "Perfect Game" with them.
By 1851 an Irish saloon was operating in San Francisco and listed in the 1851 S.F. City Directory under the heading: "Ball Courts and Alleys". These classifications were commonly used to describe handball courts in Ireland and England. Handball courts, more commonly known as handball 'alleys' in Ireland, were often built adjacent to the pub and would utilize one of the pub walls as the front wall of the court.The 1851 San Francisco City Directory lists THOMAS CULLEN'S SALOON AND SHAMROCK BALL AND RACKET COURT located at 543 Market Street. This may well be the oldest listed handball court in the United States, pre-dating Phil Casey's court on DeGraw Street in Brooklyn, New York by some 37 years.The Shamrock court is certainly the oldest known handball court in California, built at least 150 years ago.
