Floorball combines the speed and skill of hockey with the accessibility of gym sports. It’s played indoors, with light gear and minimal setup, making it easy to launch in schools, rec centers, or any open court space. The game builds real athleticism—quick decision-making, foot speed, stickhandling, passing—and it scales well for all ages and skill levels.

Globally, it’s one of the fastest-growing sports, with deep roots in Europe and growing traction in North America. It’s used by top ice hockey programs for off-season training, yet it's also ideal for new players with no prior stick experience.

In Richmond, we see floorball not just as a game, but as a tool for community building and accessible, high-tempo play. The links below show how other regions are using floorball to bridge gaps between sports, bring new players in, and grow something lasting.
