    Broomball 
    Broomball is a game played on an ice rink or an open space like a basketball court or soccer field. The game is a cross between ice hockey and soccer. Each team's objective is to score as many goals in the net as possible.

    Equipment (will be provided)

    • Ball, 18 to 20 inches in circumference
    • Broom/stick
    • Two hockey nets 

    How to Play Broomball

    1. Arrange the six people per team on an ice rink, basketball court, or soccer field. There will be five people playing on the field and one goalie per team. Each team starts off on the side of their own net in order to defend it, and then shoots for the far net.
    2. Play 15 to 20 minutes per half with a five-minute halftime. Use your stick or broom properly. The broom is used to shoot and pass the regulation ball. The broom should remain below the waist. Hold on to the broom with only one hand.
    3. Throwing your broom is not only against the rules, but dangerous. You will be ejected.
    4. Shoot for the opponents net and score. The team with the most goals wins the game. 

    Tips and Warnings

    • Contact is forbidden and no checking is allowed.
    • No hands or feet can be used to score or pass. The broom must do the work.
