Invitation to play!

This past week was a great week for floorball in Houston TX. We had a Wednesday night game and Saturday morning game. Wednesday I had our neighborhood boys come play with us. I had to tell them that I did not have enough room for all of them in my truck,  but luckily I was able to find someone to help me out to get all of them to play that night. After the games they were thinking about inviting pretty much everyone they knew and tell their principal about floorball. 

The picture above is from our Saturday morning group. We had record amount of people show up this Saturday in Tomball. Altogether we had 14 people to play that day (two of them did not make it to the picture). It was nice to play 5 on 5 + goalies and we even had a sub for both teams. Brought back memories, how we played in Finland.

Special thanks goes to Becca who brought three of her friends to play with her. This was only her second time playing floorball ever. She sent me a message, if it was ok for her to to bring 2-3 friends with her. I told her absolutely, thinking in my mind "that's awesome"! If everyone would bring three more people with them the second time they would come to play floorball it would not take long for us to have a group large and talented enough to challenge the Team USA. Or at least to have some or our team members to play for the Team USA women's and men's team!
Here is a simple math for all of you floorball friends in Houston if every new player would bring 3 more new players the following week:

Week 1 = 1  

Week 2 = 3 new players

Week 3 = 9 new players

Week 4 27 new players 

Week 5 = 81 new players

Week 6 = 243 new players 

Week 7 729 new players

Total of 1093 new players within 7 weeks.  

Another developing story is 17 year old Latvian kid. I got a message the other day from a person I have never met before. She told that they are hosting for a Latvian boy for a English language program and was wondering if our floorball group played near by Tomball. What is the coincidence that we happen to play in Tomball out of all the places in Houston. I need to look into different language and exchange student programs and find out more talented floorball players who could be instrumental to help floorball grow here in Houston. 

So lets keep inviting our friends to come play with us and soon we will have enough people to play with us to form our own floorball league and compete in the national level!!!
