Look out St. Louis! The hit sport that has found sweeping success in Denver & the Twin Cities in the winter is coming at you in January 2009!
January is perfect for the excitement that Broomball brings to the rink. With a convenient location at Steinberg Skate Rink in Forest Park, and a wonderful warming hut serving all the beverages to keep you warm its a perfect combo for a fun activity to ring in the new year!!!
We had a great season in 2007-2008 and we look forward to seeing the program grow here in St. Louis. Please drop us a line with any questions on this super fun sport.
Due to VERY limited space, you will need to register as quickly as
possible to get your team or yourself a spot. If you are signing up by
yourself or with a couple of friends, be sure to include options of
what day you can play.
Curious about this fun sport?
If you haven`t played Broomball before, think of it
as a combination of ice hockey and floor hockey, but played with brooms
and without skates. Sports Monster will be providing the sticks, balls
and helmets - so all you have to do is show up (you do need mouthguards
too). Broomball-specific shoes are available at SportLine or other
athletic stores, but if you don`t feel like spending the extra money -
gym shoes work just fine.
Each team will have 6 players (4
men/2 women) on the ice at one time. We recommend having at least 10
players on your roster to allow for subbing and player absences.
Because of the short amount of time we have to complete a season, the
leagues typically consist of a 6-week schedule, with all teams playing
6 regular season games and the winner is the team with the best overall
record.
Match times run 45 minutes and most leagues run in
the evening with 9:00 - 11:15 start times. Please note that due to
unpredictable weather, this is subject to change and games may have to
be played on different nights to complete the season if possible.
Although many full teams register, Sports Monster encourages
individuals and groups to register as we do create new independent
teams each season.
This is sure to be a great time! And it only comes around twice a year for a short time - so don`t miss out!
