Ladies Floorball

We started in June 2008 with 16 people turned up. Unfortunately, the caretaker of the hall didn’t turned up and we only managed to do an introduction on floorball outside the hall. What a disappointment, everyone was excited but didn’t get to try it out. Nevertheless, it was a good introduction done by our President Shawn and after that we go to Damai (yes, Damai again..I think the Penang team who came recently had been there for many many times..haha) for a drink and fellowship.

Oh, by the way, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Madalen, coach for the ladies floorball. This is my first time coaching (I think it’s easier than being a referee, pressure, pressure.. haha). I’m glad that finally we can have our own floorball sessions coz some of the ladies are really shy to play with guys or when the guys are around. So, that means guys are not allowed to be in the hall, not even husbands :'(

In July, we have a player from Frontliners Penang joining us. Lavinia is in KK to further her study in UMS. She’s a fearless player, no guys can intimidate her (when we play with the guys). Frontliner Penang has definitely trained her well. Well done!!

Our ladies players are quick-learners, disciplined and serious. Two thumbs up for them! I thank God them, they really have good spirit. Keep it up ladies! Once, we had a group of 10 teachers, all first-timers. Wow…they really go for the ball (almost all of them, wherever the ball went). It reminded me of how we used to play. :D They're really good, they don't give up easily. We also had a lady with special need who joined one of the sessions. She was an enthusiastic player, played with all her heart. I’m so encouraged!

Lastly, our sessions are open to all ladies (and ladies only) who are interested in this sport. Just come with your proper attire, we will provide the sticks (unless you have your own) and balls. If you’ve never played this sport before, don’t worry, this is why we have these sessions and it’s not difficult at all to learn. Our youngest player is 7 years old. She really enjoys it! For those who know how to play and want to improve your skills/techniques, this is the place you can do so and maybe share your skills with us ;)

My hope is that this sport will be made known and well known to schools in KK and throughout Sabah.
