FLOORBALL MAY SOUND LIKE something a six-year-old would invent out in the garage on a rainy day, but it’s a serious game, far surpassing anything from the land of make-believe. Played on foot on just about any smooth surface a standard game consists of five players and one goalie per team, three 20-minute periods and about as much physical contact as a game of soccer. Fast-paced and lively, floorball is entertaining to watch and enormous fun to play, making it easy to see why it’s also enjoyed right here in Austin every Tuesday night. Scandinavian transplants (and anyone who’s curious) can come out and to get their whiffle ball fix. Floorball is accessible to athletes of all abilities, is easy to learn and dangerously addictive. And while it may not be a mainstream pastime yet, it’s not just kid’s play either. So grab your sneakers, a bottle of water, and join the club if you think you have what it takes to hit the floor.
