Lil' Kickers
Lil' Kickers is a child development program for children 18 months through 6 years old. For ages 3 and under, Toddlers and Parents explore basic soccer and developmental milestones. As children develop their skills, they move into more complex soccer tactics and activities. While based around the game of soccer, it is more about teaching kids life skills and being physically fit than it is about teaching the game of soccer. This is a nationally recognized program operating in over 70 facilities around the country. It uses a well-designed curriculum in each age group (and developmental level) to build a strong physical, intellectual and emotional foundation that will help children be successful on and off the soccer field. We believe in teaching children in ways that suit their developmental level.

Floorball
Floorball is a fun, fast-paced hockey game that is played on foot with lightweight sticks and a plastic ball. It has its origins in the United States where it was played in physical education classes during the 1950s. However, the popularity of the sport did not take off until it was introduced to students in Sweden and Finland.
Floorball quickly became popular in schools and youth clubs throughout Scandinavia and parts of Europe where in 1986, the International Floorball Federation was founded by the federations of Sweden, Finland, and Switzerland. The sport is known by many names in many different countries salibandy, innebandy, unihockey-but it's all simply Floorball.
One of the absolute advantages of Floorball is that it is very easy to become a player. Anyone regardless of age, physical condition, or gender can grab a floorball stick and join in the fun. It certainly has the potential to fill a niche for people who love hockey because it is played very similarly to hockey; however, Floorball does not require the skill of skating and with rules that prohibit hitting and checking, the sport is safe to play coed and with mixed age levels. It is also inexpensive compared to in-line or ice hockey because the only equipment requirements for a field player is a stick and a pair of good indoor court shoes. Goalies require helmets and pads but they don't play with a stick.
Floorball is very similar to ice hockey minus the ice, which is why many professional hockey clubs in Europe use it for off-season training to improve stick skills and foot speed. A Floorball game is played between two teams that can use a maximum of 20 players each with lines of 5 players and a goalie. The usual formation is two wings, one center, two defenders, and one goalie. Games consist of three
20-minute periods of play. For more information go to www.usafloorball.org.
International Floorball Federation (IFF)
The International Floorball Federation is the governing body for the sport of Floorball worldwide. The IFF has 32 member federations and is a member of General Association of International Sports Federations (AGFIS/GAISF). The IFF has also applied for recognition to the International Olympics Committee.
Floorball is a rapidly growing sport. The largest number of players can be found in Northern Europe; however, it is being played in countries
as diverse as Australia, Canada, India, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, the United States, and Brazil. According to IFF statistics, there
were over 220,009 registered Floorball players and 3,624 registered clubs worldwide in 2003. These numbers don't take into account the
number of people playing recreationally which the IFF estimates to be over 1.5 million.
Pickup games are scheduled every weekend:
