The club has over 650 members, which makes it one of the biggest handball clubs in Denmark and the biggest in Jutland.[1][2]

In 2021, Aarhus Håndbold merged with Skanderborg Håndbold's men's team, and they changed the name to Skanderborg Aarhus Håndbold.[3] Their academy is called Skanderborg Håndbold Elite Akademi or normally just called SHEA.[4]

History

The club was founded in 1982 and was the result of a merger between Stilling-Skanderborg and Vrold-Skanderborg Handball Club.[2]

In the 2007-08 season the team was relegated from the top league, after not winning a single game in the regular season.[5] The men's team played in the top division Herrehåndboldligaen from the 2011-12 season until the merger with Aarhus GF Håndbold in 2021.[3]

The women's team was promoted to the top division, Damehåndboldligaen in 2016. The promoted team had only amateur players.[6][7]

The club played at Morten Børup Hallen until 2017, where they changed to Fælledhallen.[8]
