Benefits of Floorball F
loorball is a sport which is easy to start playing. No big investment in the equipment is needed and it is possible to start playing with only shoes and a stick. No previous experience is required either, the players develop quickly and almost everyone can learn the basic skills of the sport and have fun while playing. As the pace of the game increases the game becomes more challenging and requires more advanced ball handling, shooting and passing skills. When the tactical parts are included, Floorball becomes even more demanding. It takes years of practice to master the sport and to become a top Floorball player on the elite level. In the beginning of Floorball history many of the players had a background from other team sports such as football or ice hockey. Since Floorball is a young sport, only now the first generation of players that started playing Floorball as children have entered into their twenties. The skilfulness of these players has taken the sport to a new level. These players possess very good technique including ball handling skills, shooting skills and speed on the field and this has increased the intensity of the whole game. In top Floorball matches the teams are able to move the ball through the 40 metre field in a few seconds which creates lots of scoring.
A two or three goal lead during a match is not decisive at all and therefore the game is really entertaining and exciting for the spectators. The recreational part of the game is a guaranteed success. People are having fun playing and getting into shape while running. It has been proven that you can take any group of people, give them the sticks and a ball and play a real game. It does not matter whether the participants are men or women or both, also mixed Floorball is fun to play. Every Floorball player can experience a true feeling of success while playing.
ASICS comes from the Latin phrase “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano”, meaning a “sound mind in a sound body”. Recommended by the IFF
THIS IS FLOORBALL 9
Floorball can be played both by girls and boys, women and men equally. A great benefit is that the physical factors of the player do not decide how good the player is. The speed of the player is not everything, since the ball still moves faster, giving space also for analytical players. Another great benefit of Floorball is that it can be played almost everywhere and even in quite extreme surroundings such as the beach, snow or even the swamp.
