Players rated their clubs related to several questions and categories, looking at last season. From now on, all the associations have received a note. Here are the notes from IFK Kristianstad.

Players had to answer questions related to the following main categories: service and benefits, food and travel, injuries and rehabilitation, quality of education and training, physical premises as well as summary and general impression.

IFK Kristianstad ranks as a team no 2 of 14 according to the survey that the players answered.

Preview

From the men’s handball league, 14 teams are thus classified IFK Kristianstad as a team 2 of 14. Last season’s Serie A cup champions and SM winners are, unsurprisingly, highly rated in most categories. In the main categories Service and Benefits, Food and Travel, Injuries and Rehabilitation and Physical Premises, the IFK has ranked first among all associations in the Men’s Handball League since last season.

The categories in which IFK was not ranked highest were quality of education and training as well as synthesis and general impression. And it is these parts that make IFK rank second overall and not first. If they can improve somewhat in terms of training, education and overall impression, the top spot looks set to be secured next season.

Here’s what the grade looks like in each major category:
