The first right to participate goes to the respective winners of the national beach handball championships. In case the winners cannot take part, the 2nd or the 3rd ranked teams can be registered.

Teams have to be nominated by their national federation. The registration period starts on 29 August 2016 at midnight and ends on 4 September at midnight. More detailed information is available in the registration info.

Places will be awarded on a "first come, first served" principle.
