FLOORBALL OVERVIEW

In 2024, Student Oliver Williams was selected in the NZU19 team to compete in the World Cup qualifies in the Solomon Islands in September.

Floorball is a fast growing type of hockey played indoors with "plastic" sticks and a light weight plastic ball with holes. Typically five field players and a goalkeeper (without a stick) play on a fully enclosed rink. The goals are set in so play continues behind the goal-line, similar to ice hockey.

Floorball is a safe, fast and fun sport and easy for people to pick up - other than a stick, no protective gear is required. There are few rules, mainly to make it a safe sport for everyone.

In 2024, SPC fielded one senior and one junior team in the weekly College Sport Wellington floorball league. Floorball is offered in Term 1 and Term 4. The senior team also competed at the New Zealand Secondary Schools floorball champs in late March.
