Floorball - When Everything Else Is Too Slow!

[Astaroth]

Floorball is like soccer with a stick. It's really easy to play and looks and feels like Ice Hockey, but without the ice or big hits! You will be guaranteed a top workout and within 5 minutes you can understand the basic rules - it's pretty simple. Floorball is for everyone so whatever sporting background you are from we will take you on.

We're looking for people interested in playing/training once or twice a week and for some who become extra keen, there are occasional home and away games with teams from all over the country and even overseas!

This sport is taking off in Australia with 300% growth rates in the past three years. Floorball is bigger than soccer in Scandinavia and some other euro countries!

Males and females are encouraged to join and we will help you maintain a great level of fitness. We can lend you a stick and shirt to start with so all you need is flat sole shoes. Sticks are quite cheap if you're interested down the track and WC Pirates even have a range of sticks available to buy.

We play at mPowerdome in Fadden - the men's team plays on Wednesday nights, and our mixed team 'Balls of Steel' plays Thursday nights. There are no club fees to participate on these nights, just the court fees (usually $5-10pp depending on numbers).
