Gaya Street Floorball

From the 19th-21st December from 6:30-11:00 pm, a Christmas celebration was organised by Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (DBKK) at Gaya Street. So the Nomads had the privilege to setup a counter specially for floorball where the public have the chance to try their hands at the game for free. The response was awesome. The assistants were kept busy catching flying balls and entertaining curious children and their parents. Everyone was given a strip of paper with the nomads floorball club website written on it. Enjoy the few pictures taken during the event.

The Fellowship Of The Sticks


15th Dec 2007 marked the match aka practice match between Eklektos (BCCM Likas Youth Group) and the Nomads. Well that Saturday was like any normal practice for floorball but today was slightly different. We've had more than enough people till we are able to form separate teams for the dudes and the gals. But of course we started off with an intense warmup of running up and down the badminton court. Then it was time for goaling practice while controling the ball.
Now it was show time. This time we had 2goalies; shawn and leonard for each side of the court. 2 teams each for the dudes' and gals' side. Each game lasted 10 mins but was fast and furious. Yet it was a good experience playing with new friends where we learn to be flexible with people's style. We had a mixture of newbies and veterans yet was a good learning experience.And of course enjoying our new floorball 'kaki'.
Stay tuned for more floorball news=p Cheers.
