This year’s APAC will be an exciting event as it is also the AOFC qualifier for the Men’s World Floorball Championship 2010 which will be held in Finland in December.

Please do come down and show your support to Team Singapore!

Homecoming Day 2009 will take place on 5 September 2009 from 8am to 3pm! Visit our stall at Special Room 3C for some Floorball Madness!

The Men’s National Floorball team achieves the best ever results in the recent World Floorball Championship 2008 held in Czech Republic! We would like to congratulate the Singapore Men’s Floorball team for making history by beating their European opponents for the first time. After losing to Austria in the opening match of the competition, Singapore went on to defeat Slovenia 6-5 in the second group match. This came as a surprise as Slovenia was one of the group favourites and were expected to beat the Singapore team easily.

The Singapore team enjoyed a second victory when they convincingly defeated yet another European opponent, the Great Britain in the last group match. Having won 2 out of their 4 group matches, the Singapore team qualified for the 15-16 placing match versus their all-time arch rivals, the Japanese. Again, the Singapore team upheld their position as the best team in the Asia Pacific region when they beat the Japanese with a score 4-2. At the end of the Championships, Singapore emerged as the 15th position. Their joy is doubled when statistics show that this is the highest placing achieved by an Asian team in the Men’s World Floorball Championships.

Prior to these excellent results by the Singapore Men’s Floorball team, the guys had also maintained their Championship titles for 2 years running in APAC 2007, Singapore and APAC 2008, Australia without losing any matches at all during the competition.

Head Coach Filip Dahlgren comments that he was very pleased with the results produced by the national players who represented the nation in the international competitions. He would also like to highlight that even though the team had achieved great results in the recent World Floorball Championships held in Czech Republic, he was particularly proud and impressed by the team in the APAC 2008 as it was mainly made up of the under-19 players. It only goes to show that the talent identification system carried out by the 2008 WFC coaching team has been really efficient, bearing in mind that the team was made up of players with an average age of twenty. This will be useful as a tool in the development of youth players in Singapore and we can definitely look forward to even better results in the coming future.

Post extracted from Singapore Floorball Association

As we usher in the new year, a whole new batch of Secondary 1 students entered the main gates of Catholic High School. After a week of orientation, it was time for them to make their choices of CCAs today.

Floorball had its first open house in Classroom 2-8. A mini-rink was set up to enitice the young boys to try out the game, even if it was just to hit the ball around. Videos were played, although not many of them took notice.

The sign up rate was great. All 24 blanks on the form were filled up and we had to use the back of the paper. Unfortunately, because of the lack of time, there were two other classes who did not manage to come by.

The seniors did a good job preparing for the open house, moving the boards from the store to the classroom and packing up after that. However, there were a few who did not take any interest in the proceedings and chose to be relatively uninvolved. Not a very good sign for me, but I will take note.

All in all, it was a success and I am sure we will all be looking forward to having the new batch of floorballers joining us soon.
