We’re here to help!

Starting a floorball club is simpler than you might think—especially with support from RFC and USA Floorball! One great way to begin is by pitching floorball to your local recreational sports league, which is often a low-cost, multi-sport environment eager for something fresh. Soccer, hockey, and lacrosse can be exclusive to their own leagues, so floorball fills a fun, accessible gap.

We have the tools, best practices, and even sales-pitch or story-creation presentations to help you. Here’s a quick roadmap:

  1. Gauge Local Interest
    • Post on social media or community boards to find potential players.
    • Reach out to schools and sports clubs.

  2. Define Your Vision
    • Decide if you’ll be recreational, competitive, or both.
    • Pick a name that reflects your club’s personality.

  3. Secure a Venue
    • Look for school gyms or community centers with a flat, non-slippery surface.
    • Negotiate rental or sponsorship deals.

  4. Gather Equipment
    • Sticks, balls, and goals are all you need to start, which can be found online but before doing this check again with any venue or sports club.
    • Consider second-hand gear to reduce costs.

  5. Recruit Members
    • Try social media, flyers, and rec league collaboration to spread the word.
    • Offer free trial sessions for newcomers.

  6. Plan Practices and Matches
    • Set a regular schedule for training and friendly games.
    • Lean on experienced players or USA Floorball for coaching support.

  7. Get Organized
    • Form a small committee (President, Treasurer, etc.).
    • Register your club and connect with national associations.

  8. Find Funding
    • Use membership fees, local sponsorships, or fundraising events.
    • RFC can guide you with presentations and best practices.

  9. Connect and Compete
    • Link up with nearby clubs or leagues to arrange friendly matches.
    • Partner with RFC and USA Floorball for resources and promotion.

  10. Keep Growing
    • Promote your club on social media and your website.
    • Host events, clinics, or youth camps to build awareness.
