Description: Floorball is a fast-paced and inclusive team sport, similar to hockey. Played indoors on a gym floor with lightweight stick and a plastic ball. It focuses on speed, teamwork, and skill instead of body contact, making it safe and fun for all abilities. Games are played with three players plus a goalie, with quick substitutions like hockey. It has many benefits for athletes including improved hand-eye coordination, agility, passing, and shooting; it provides excellent cardio, builds communication, collaboration and strategic play. Floorball is easy to learn, adaptable for different ability levels and gives athletes the chance to explore a new and exciting team sport while enjoying a safe, fun, and supportive environment.
Coach’s Comments: We meet once a week; we warm up, stretch and do some drills and spend most of our time playing a game. If you’re looking for some fun and a good work our, this is the sport for you.
