MEDIA INFORMATION

HC Alkaloid announced its participation in the new Super League season with a stronger player roster and a new coach. Rounding off its first season with exceptional results and an unbeaten run, the senior team won the First League winners’ cup by a large margin over the second-ranking team and secured direct placement in the Super League.

Right before the new 2022/2023 season, HC Alkaloid strengthened its team with 8 new players, among them: Jane Cvetkovski, Blagojche Trajkoski, Nikola Markoski, Mihajlo Mladenovic, Edvin Omeragic, Marko Mitev, David Dimevski and Aleksandar Petkovski.

Kiril Lazarov is the new coach of HC Alkaloid who is the greatest Macedonian handball ace and current head coach of the senior national team.

Standing strong before new challenges, including playing in the toughest competition, the Super League, HC Alkaloid is ready to start the new season with a purposefully modified stronger team, a firm ambition and clear focus on its development for the good of Macedonian handball. The club remains consistent to the principle of growth and development into a quality base for young Macedonian handball players, which in the long run would be a nursery for domestic handball talents and future Macedonian national team players.

One of the club’s development goals for the upcoming season is to continue upgrading its system established when the club was founded focusing on real sports as well as life values developed and encouraged in a properly organized and professional sports system.

HC Alkaloid completed its first season successfully at every organizational and category level. In addition to the successes of the senior team, the club’s youth team became the champion of Macedonia, the cadet team was a F4 finalist, and the pioneers reached the quarter-finals. It is particularly important that the club managed to assemble a team of young Macedonian handball players, to whom it provided modern work conditions, and which contributed to the increase of the representative base in all age categories.

We Think About Our Future!

The first season for HC Alkaloid is over, and so is handball school practice for our youngest players. About 500 children 6 to 14 years old throughout our country have practiced at HC Alkaloid’s handball schools. We expect this number to rise in the next season!

The last one to leave the gym this summer was coach Vlatko Koteski. With a ton of experience under his belt, he has worked with young handball players throughout the past decade. With the first season over, he is visibly happy with the results.

“Healthy and happy children is what we actually aim for,’ says Vlatko Koteski.

“This was our first season, and it has been special. We had a successful season, met our goals, and exceeded our plans. We took the young to a new system where we socialized, practiced, and learned. We introduced them to the world of handball. They lived, had fun, and made friends as a team and a sports family,” says Koteski.

Working with and attracting the youth is one of HC Alkaloid’s most important priorities as a club.

“We paid great attention to discipline, proper development, and respect for others, the elderly, and the environment. In our club, we want to create personalities, not merely handball players. Nothing can beat the feeling of seeing happy children. Because interest is on a constant rise, we will expand next season. We will try to start handball practice in more schools and be available to as many children as possible,” says Koteski.
