About Geir Oustorp

Born 1972. Geir Oustorp is a Norwegian handball player, handball coach and police officer.

He made his debut on the Norwegian national team in 1992, and played 91 matches for the national team between 1992 and 2004. He participated at the 1999 World Men's Handball Championship, where Norway finished 13th.

Playing career He played 17 seasons at top level, 4 for Sandefjord Håndball, 12 for Drammen Håndballklubb and a single season for German club TuS Nettelstedt-Lübbecke.

He broke his leg in a match on 6 December 2006 against Sandefjord HÃ¥ndball, which forced him to retire a year earlier than he'd planned.

Coaching career On 12 March 2007 he became the head coach of Byåsen HE on a three year deal. He was fired after the 2012-13 season, a year before the contract's initial expiry date, for poor results, when the team finished 7th despite hopes of silverware.

In December 2017 he became the head coach of Larvik HK, replacing Tor Odvar Moen. In February 2019 he announced his intention to leave the team after the 2018-19 season. This prompted the club to fire him with immediate effect, as they did not wish to have a head coach, that was not a permanent solution. In March the same season he became the head coach at the Reistad IL women's team.

In 2022 he became the assistant coach of Czech women's national team under fellow Norwegian Bent Dahl. In this position, he was part of the team that reached a quarterfinal of a World Championship for the first in Czech history at the 2023 World Championship.

In 2022 he returned as the head coach of Glassverket IF's women's team, which played in the 1st Division at the time. However already in March 2023 he left team. He was in this position until 2021, when he was replaced by Goran Rajkovic.

He ceased to be the assistant coach of the Czech women's national team after the 2024 European Championship, when both he and Bent Dahl left. They were replaced by Tomáš Hlavatý and Daniel Čurda.

Post-playing career In addition to coaching, Oustorp have also acted as a Handball expert on Norwegian television.
