For youths leisure activity the organized sport is vital. Young people become increasingly sedentary and the healths of young people are the various municipalities responsibility. In Eskilstuna, the handball is very popular but there are only three grounds that meet the standards of the dimensions of a handball pitch, 40x20 meters. The same dimensions are used by floorball. Eskilstuna municipality owns one of these, the other two is privately built and owned and the municipality rents time in the halls. IF Guif and HK Eskil are two handballclubs in the central part of Eskilstuna. They have access to only one 40x20 meters pitch that they have to share between their 45 teams. Hence forth the handball player’s in Eskilstuna rarely has the opportunity to practise at full-size pitches before they reach junior age. 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 new built Ellfolkarenan has been a big boast for Gökstens BK and they are now pleased white their access to practice areas. Floorballclubs in Eskilstuna have, due to private construction, access to two full-sized halls. In addition, they are practising in halls which are just below the authorized dimensions. Despite this, they have difficulties to get access to the new hall times to expand their club by starting up new teams with practise at attractive times of the day. With only three full-sized halls, Eskilstuna is among the big-sized municipalities in Sweden with most people 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 below average of people per full-sized hall.
