International handball tournament: The unique, multipurpose sports centre Valkenhuizen and two sporthalls changes during Easter into a handball paradise. It then becomes the home of the Arnhem Cup, one of the most enjoyable handball tournaments in the Euro-Sportring programme. Valkenhuizen is a very large sports centre; with five large sports halls, a restaurant, an indoor swimming pool, a climbing wall, splendid grass pitches and lots of other facilities to make this into a five star sports complex. The other 2 sporthalls are situated around 8/9 kilometers from Valkenhuizen and the schools. The organisation manages each year to organise a quality tournament with international appeal which is much appreciated. And of course, the pleasant centre of Arnhem is a real treat. The Arnhem Cup is first class!
