About
It all started when about a dozen enthusiasts were meeting every Sunday at the Woy Woy Leisure Centre to try to master floorball under the direction of Alan Clay. When the idea of creating a Floorball club and organising our first comp was floated, it did not take long for a committee to be organised and get the ball rolling.
Our Achievements….
- Peninsula Floorball Club founded in March 2011
- Acquired a new rink with the help of NSW Floorball Association
- 50+ players now registered and playing the local comp.
- 2 teams participating in the NSW competition held in Sydney.
- Junior floorball program running weekly (first club in NSW to organise such program).
Being a new club, we are faced with the challenge of financing the rink and the purchase of new gear that includes goalkeeper sets and team shirts. Sponsors will play an integral part in the future of our club ….please acknowledge their contribution by visiting our ‘sponsors’ page.
The aim of our club is to promote the sport of floorball amongst both gender and all ages. It is a fast and skilful sport and being a non-contact sport, make it an attractive alternative sport. Field hockey and Ice Hockey players will find the transition to floorball very easy but as we have seen in our first competition, many first time players have acquired skills very quickly.
New players are invited to join the fun…so why not checking us out on competition night, starting 7pm on Tuesdays at the Peninsula Leisure Centre in Woy Woy.
Our target for 2012 will be
- Promote the sport of Floorball in our area and continue to grow our membership
- Organise the first junior local comp
- Participate with NSW Floorball Association in promoting the sport in other region of the Central Coast.
The structure of our founding committee is
- Daniel Sottaz – President and Webmaster
- Julie Clay – Chairperson
- Nic Watterson – Vice President
- Jim Beard – Secretary
- Josh VanderNeut – Treasurer
- Alan Clay – Sport Development Coordinator
- Mitchell Fiddock – Junior Program Coordinator
