Handball
Handball in North Lanarkshire is a developing sport within the area and North Lanarkshire Leisure is at the forefront of that development as they strive to build a number of handball initiatives across the area.
North Lanarkshire Leisure currently has three handball classes included in their fantastic Kids NL activity programme. Sessions can be accessed as part of the kids membership scheme or on a pay-as-you-go basis. These sessions can be found at the Iain Nicolson Recreation Centre in Chryston, Airdrie Leisure Centre and Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility in Motherwell. See elsewhere on this website for days and times.
North Lanarkshire Leisure has also included handball as one of the key sports in their kids holiday programme (Easter, Summer, October) with multiple sessions at Broadwood Leisure Facility and Tryst Sports Centre, both in Cumbernauld and also at the Iain Nicolson Recreation Centre in Chryston. Contact local centre for details.
