Outdoor handball
Explanation:
A cursory check of Internet references reveals that the sport is played both outdoors and indoors, and there are apparently differences in the rules of the game, dimensions of the court etc., with respect to each variant.

Suerte.

I'm still not sure, but your answer seems to make the most sense. I left a note for the client about it and he never got back in touch about it, so...
Thank you!

beach handball (probably)


Explanation:
Hi Lisa: There is no such thing as balonmano tierra actually. Most probably they meant balonmano playa, which is beach handball. You'd better check with the client, but if they are close to the sea, this is probably it.
