After-school Broomball!
Join the Amherst Recreation staff for an hour of broom ball after school! This 4 week program will consist of pick-up broom ball games for one hour afterschool. There will be Amherst Recreation staff there to join the fun with you! Skates are not needed for this game, please wear sneakers or boots. Helmets are required. Bike helmets work great.
You may find yourself asking, what exactly is broomball? Broomball is a sport similar to hockey, with slight alterations:
1. In broomball, students do not wear skates they simple wear sneakers or boots. The players slide around the ice trying to make goals and stay on their feet.
2. Instead of hockey sticks players use brooms (we will provide these)
3. A ball a little larger than a baseball is used instead of a hockey puck.
**Broomball game equipment will be supplied
So...Get your shoes on, get your brooms ready, and lets play some broomball!
