Hochschulsport-Programm

Fast-paced, intense, and very physically demanding—that’s floorball. This modern sport, which is already a regular feature of the World Games, combines the speed of ice hockey with the dynamism of indoor hockey.

Combined with the fairness of basketball and exemplary gender equality on the international stage, floorball is the perfect sport for the 21st century.

In Sweden, floorball (known as innebandy) is one of the most popular and widely played sports. Floorball is considered one of the fastest-growing team sports in the world and now has over 2 million fans across the 80 member nations of the world federation.

Top international events underscore this trend: The World Championships recently set new records with nearly 68,000 live spectators in the stadiums and a global TV and streaming reach that surpassed the 5-million mark during the top matches.

Floorball helps build both stamina and agility without sacrificing fun. The goal is to use a stick to shoot a plastic ball into the opponent’s goal.

At Fulda University of Applied Sciences, floorball has been a regular and popular part of the sports program for more than two decades.

As part of this program, our team regularly participates in tournaments against other college, university, or recreational teams.

Our Course

During the current semester, our program is open to beginners and advanced players of all genders alike.
In the first three to five weeks of each course, participants are divided into two groups so that beginners can first learn and master the basics and rules.

In the weeks that follow, all participants play in mixed teams and experience the high speed and intensity characteristic of floorball in a large group alongside all the experienced players, some of whom have been playing for many years.
At the beginning of each session, there are about 20 minutes of training and drills, after which teams are formed (in part by selection) and everyone plays together.

Prerequisites

A basic understanding of team sports is desirable, as is a willingness to play at a fast and intense pace.

Punctuality and regular attendance with an attendance rate of at least 80% are expected.

Attendance during the first three weeks of the course is very important for continued participation, as this is when the necessary fundamentals are taught.

If you are unable to attend, please notify the instructor in a timely manner.
