Event Details

Batesville Parks and Recreation is proud to host a Floorball Introduction Tournament on Saturday, June 20th, 2026. The event will begin at Noon (12 PM) at the Batesville Community Center Gym. Floorball is an engaging variation of floor hockey played with a wiffle ball. Our tournament will utilize a modified 3v3 plus goalie format on a standard basketball court, requiring each team to have four players on the rink (three fielders and one goalkeeper).

Required equipment, including sticks for fielders and protective face masks or helmets for goalies, will be provided. Goalkeepers are not permitted sticks or catching gloves in Floorball. The tournament will be governed by a modified ruleset of the official International Floorball Federation (IFF) Rules.

Event Structure

  • Seeding: All teams are guaranteed three preliminary games to determine tournament seeding.
  • Format: Single-elimination bracket.
  • Tiebreakers: Tied games will be decided by a penalty shootout.

Tournament Rules

Player Eligibility & Roster

  • Team Size: 4 players on the court per team (3 Fielders and 1 Goalkeeper).
  • Age Requirement: All participants must be 16 years of age or older as of January 1, 2026.

Game Timing

  • Match Duration: Three 5-minute periods per game.
  • Intermissions: Two 2-minute breaks between periods.

Fielder Regulations

  • Footwear: Closed-toe athletic shoes (e.g., tennis or running shoes) are strictly required.
  • Equipment: Any stick not explicitly provided by Batesville Parks and Recreation must be inspected and approved by the League Director prior to play. “Zorro” blades are prohibited.

Goalkeeper Regulations

  • Crease & Positioning: Goalkeepers do not have a restricted crease and may play the ball anywhere on their defensive side of the court (though staying near the goal is highly recommended).
  • Equipment Limits: Goalkeepers do not use a stick. Webbed gloves (such as baseball mitts) are illegal, though standard fingered gloves are permitted.
  • Throw-Outs & Scoring: Goalkeepers may score a goal directly via a throw, provided the ball bounces on the floor before crossing the centerline.

Goal Maintenance: Goalkeepers are responsible for ensuring their goal cage remains properly aligned and in position during play.
