Skanderborg Håndbold, previously known as Vrold-Skanderborg Håndboldklub is a handball club, currently only running a women's team at the top level. It is based in Skanderborg in Jutland, Denmark.
The club has over 650 members, which makes it one of the biggest handball clubs in Denmark and the biggest in Jutland.
In 2021, Aarhus Håndbold merged with Skanderborg Håndbold's men's team, and they changed the name to Skanderborg Aarhus Håndbold. Their academy is called Skanderborg Håndbold Elite Akademi or normally just called SHEA.
History The club was founded in 1982 and was the result of a merger between Stilling-Skanderborg and Vrold-Skanderborg Handball Club.
In the 2007-08 season the team was relegated from the top league, after not winning a single game in the regular season. The men's team played in the top division Herrehåndboldligaen from the 2011-12 season until the merger with Aarhus GF Håndbold in 2021. In 2019 the men's team reached the Danish Men's Handball Cup final for the first time, where they lost to Aalborg Håndbold.
The women's team was promoted to the top division, Damehåndboldligaen in 2016. The promoted team had only amateur players. In their first season they were however relegated after finishing last. Two years after they were back in the top league. In the 2018-19 Damehåndboldligaen they survived, when they finished 10th in the league. The following 5 years they would survive, although they often ended only a single spot above the relegation zone and then surviving the relegation play-out. In the 2019-20 they were in 13th place when the season was cancelled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, beating EH Aalborg only by virtue of winning the single head-to-head match. In the 2024-25 season they beat Aarhus Håndbold by having a better head-to-head record, after both teams finished on 12 points, and then later beating Holstebro Håndbold in the relegation play-out.2024-25 Kvindeligaen play-out match report - flashscore
