I suspect outside of big cities here, kids will struggle to get into it.
One of my daughters plays Korfball. There are no local leagues at all. I suspect the same goes for handball.
We went to the copper box in the Olympics to watch Handball. It was basically what we got in the ballot, but we all enjoyed it. It wasn't our first choice of what to watch if I'm honest, but knew we would enjoy it. Fast paced game and so quite exciting to watch.
