SATURDAY

 Saturday started out rough, when we arrived to the church building to realize that cultural hall was double booked and our floorball activity was in danger to be cancelled. We lost three players but after few calls we were able have 9 players altogether and found another church building to play in. So the game was on for the saturday morning.  

THIS IS WERE IT ALL STARTED

6 OUT OF 9 PLAYERS IN THE CORNER 

BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE OT THE COURT

                FEW HOURS OF FLOORBALL WITH NO INJURIES MADE IT A GREAT WORKOUT

Here is some statistical information: with the increase of one new player a week (as we did) for the rest of the year makes 56 floorball players by the end of the year in the Houston area. Same numbers with a compound interest will get over 2000 players by the end of the year. To make the numbers more interesting, if we had 7 new players (as we did) we would have a lot more by the end of the year, you can do the math for the compound interest.

TILL NEXT WEEK...

8 PLAYERS

This past Saturday was the first floorball experience in Houston. It felt almost like 15 years ago when we would call our friends the day before to make sure that we had enough players to play. 

Saturday we played at a church building on a carpeted basketball court to small goals 3 against 3 with 2 goalies with all the goalie equipment on. 

Even though it was not quite the experience as in Killeri where they have a rink and a nice surface to play on. Still we managed to have fun and it was a new experience to 6 people who had never played floorball before and will hopefully become avid floorball players in the near future.

Next week we are expecting to play on a bigger court with official size goals and on a wooded basketball court! Maybe I'll have time to take some pictures for the next weeks post.
