World Ball Hockey ChampionshipsZug, Switzerland 2015

What is ball hockey?

• Imagine ice hockey except played on foot and with a different (“floating blue line”) offsides rule.

Toronto, Canada 2013

• Bronze medalists, defeating Great Britain in OT

Why fundraise?

The International Street & Ball Hockey Federation (ISBHF) is a registered non-profit organization. It is officially recognized as the governing body of the sport by the International Ice Hockey Federation, with many of its member nations officially recognized by their federal sports agencies.

The United States does not recognize us as an “Olympic Sport” therefore we do not have funding. ALL expenses are paid through fundraising and donations.

Founded in 1993, the International Street & Ball Hockey Federation has provided international competitions since 1995, when the first European Championship was held in Bratislava, Slovakia, with Czechia defeating Slovakia.

What this means to me…

• This is a two year process, with the first being the tryout and the second being preparatory.

• I’ve been training since Thanksgiving using the program our Athletic Trainer has designed for us.

• I also nanny after school until 7 pm so I workout before school around 5 at Orchard Hills.

• I’ve been playing since I was very young and this has always been a dream for me.

• I was nominated as Assistant Captain for our team this year

What to expect…Fundraising (yay!) Please help in getting the word out!

• Dodgeball tournament, Saturday May 16th, here at Sky View
