Outdoor handball
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.

beach handball (probably)
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.
