Registration Open: The 2nd Annual Thanksgiving Shootout: 11/29

Turkey season hits different in Richmond — mostly because we keep adding floorball to it. Last year’s Thanksgiving Shootout started as a fun community idea. This year, it’s officially a tradition.

And registration is now open.

The Shootout returns Saturday, November 29th at 9 a.m. at the Annex, bringing together goalies, skaters, new players, and returning competitors for a full morning of draft-style chaos, bragging rights, and community-built competition.

This tournament is built for fun. Built for development. Built for Richmond.

But mostly?
It’s built for the goalies.

🥅 A Goalie-Powered Tournament

Goalies are the backbone of every team — especially here in RVA. To honor that, the Thanksgiving Shootout flips the script:

**Every goalie becomes a captain.

Every captain gets to draft their team.**

The night before the tournament, goalies select their squads draft-style from the free-agent player pool. It’s a format that’s equal parts fun and strategic — and completely unpredictable in the best way.

And yes — goalies play for free.

The more goalies who sign up, the more teams we build.
We can run 5, 6, 7, or even 8 teams depending on interest.

Goalies: if you want in, send us a message.
Players: recruit your goalies. Richmond needs them.

How It Works

Here’s the full rundown:

  • Player Registration Deadline: Friday, November 28th at 8 p.m.

  • Early Bird Rate: $25 if you sign up before Sunday 11/23 at 11:59 p.m.

  • Regular Rate: $35 per player

  • Location: RCSSC Annex

  • Format:

    • 4 goalies confirmed (so far) → 4 teams

    • First 40 players to register are guaranteed a spot (10 per team)

    • 4v4 on the court

    • Two 15-minute halves each game

  • Tournament Style: Full round robin → playoffs

And because the Shootout is born from bragging rights, we’re adding accountability:
One camera on each net for the entire tournament.
Saves will be logged. Stats will be posted.

If you’re a goalie, your legend might be forged on film this year.

📝 Why This Tournament Matters

The Shootout isn’t just a fun November tradition — it’s a snapshot of what Richmond floorball has become.

  • A community where competition never outweighs belonging

  • A place where new players blend with veterans

  • A space where fun creates development

It’s everything RFC loves about this sport packed into one holiday weekend.
