Eskilstunas handboll- och innebandyföreningars tillgång till 40x20 planer
For youths leisure activity the organized sport is vital. Young people become increasingly sedentaryand the healths of young people are the various municipalities responsibility. In Eskilstuna, thehandball is very popular but there are only three grounds that meet the standards of the dimensions ofa handball pitch, 40x20 meters. The same dimensions are used by floorball. Eskilstuna municipalityowns one of these, the other two is privately built and owned and the municipality rents time in thehalls.IF Guif and HK Eskil are two handballclubs in the central part of Eskilstuna. They have access to onlyone 40x20 meters pitch that they have to share between their 45 teams. Hence forth the handballplayer?s in Eskilstuna rarely has the opportunity to practise at full-size pitches before they reach juniorage. In the part of Eskilstuna called Torshälla, the situations for another handballclubb is much better.Gökstens BK uses the full-sized Ellfolkarenan together with Torshälla IBK, a floorballclub. The newbuilt Ellfolkarenan has been a big boast for Gökstens BK and they are now pleased white their accessto practice areas.Floorballclubs in Eskilstuna have, due to private construction, access to two full-sized halls. Inaddition, they are practising in halls which are just below the authorized dimensions. Despite this, theyhave difficulties to get access to the new hall times to expand their club by starting up new teams withpractise at attractive times of the day.With only three full-sized halls, Eskilstuna is among the big-sized municipalities in Sweden with mostpeople per full-sized hall. If a new multipurposearena with three pitches would be built in Eskilstuna,the municipality would count themselves by those of the big-seized municipalities that are belowaverage of people per full-sized hall.
