Basic Rule Handout

FLOORBALL is meant to be a truly offensive game, enjoyable and affordable for everyone. To create enough space for creativity many defensive actions are not allowed. Here's a quick overview

1. No Face-off

   Instead you have a Free-hit or a Hit-in. The game starts with a Start-off.


2. Throw-out

   The goalie has no stick, and starts the play with a throw-out. The ball must bounce before the centre line.


3. No Pass to Goalie

   when you're fore checking it's not fair if the defenseman can give the ball to the goalie


4. No Field player in Goalkeeper Area

   This area belongs to the goalie alone.
   Players on both teams, stay out!


5. No Stick-Check

   The stick can only be used to play the ball. Hacking and whacking on the opponents stick might only break it and cause injuries


6. No Contact with Stick

   You wear no padding, so even an accidental hit might hurt. So control your stick at all times.


7. No Stick-lift

   Since you is not aloud to wear gloves, you don't want anyone to lift your stick and by mistake break your finger.


8. No High Stick

   Regardless if you're using your stick, knee or foot, the ball can only be played under knee level.


9. No Pushing

10. No Hands

    you can't use your hands to play the ball. If it's lower than your knee, use your stick. Otherwise, let it go


11. Only Feet May Touch the Floor

    This makes the game faster and more open.
    No jumping!


12. No Stick between Feet

    This gives you offensive freedom to roll off the checker at all times.


13. No Slap Shot

    Work on your wrist shot, and you'll be able to shoot the ball quicker and almost as hard. Slap shots might only damage your stick.


14. No Kick-pass

    You can only kick the ball one time and only to your own stick.
