Cambridge Floorball Club

Welcome to Cambridge Floorball Club's home page - We have been playing since May 2001. We mainly play for fun, with the occational friendly game or competition for those who are more competative.


How do I join Cambridge Floorball Club? - We currently train every Tuesday at Chesterton Sport Centre, 20.00-22.00. To view the full 2010 training calendar click here!. Anybody interested is welcome to join, or just come along to try it. We play mixed teams so both male and female players are welcome. Don't hesitate to send us an e-mail, or just pop down to a training session.


What equipment do I need? - Not much, sticks are available to borrow for those who don't have one. Just bring yourself, indoor shoes, a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.


Not sure what floorball is? - The name Floorball is actually a bit daft (floorball could mean anything where a ball is used on a floor). Other names for it is Innebandy (in Swedish), Salibandy (in Finnish), Unihockey (in German/Swiss). The game Uni-Hoc, which is played in many English schools, is very similar to floorball.

Floorball is a relatively new sport in the UK with only about 20 recreational clubs active at the time of writing. All the clubs are open both for men and women, mixed teams. For more information on Floorball in UK have a look at Great Britain Floorball & Unihoc Association's home page. If you're interested in playing, but don't live in the Cambridge area try some of the links to other floorball clubs in UK.

For an introduction to the game have a look here for a quick guide to some of the rules. If you just can't get enough, and really want to get into it then read the complete IFF rules! Also this page, from the Caltech Floorball Club gives has details on some of the more advanced floorball tactics including attacking and defensive formations.


How much will it cost? - Since we don't have a sponsor at the moment we pay for the sports halls ourselves, currently £3.50 per session. The first session is free! So there's nothing holding you back from giving it a try!


Want to know more? - Contact us by email if you need further information (if you don't have access to an email client then there is an online form here). Alternatively, just turn up to a practice session. We are happy to here from beginners and experienced players alike, not to mention any other teams interested in a friendly!
